As mentioned above,even if you would treat mb as a spell that one could be immune to, it would likely be overfourth level in power.  Other abilties? Charm and Suggest? Sure! Detect Thoughts? Nyet (no SR).I believe the common ruling is to make the check once per instance of the spell.After some consideration, I suppose I agree with Herr Doctor. "Blast" seems toimply something less than ongoing.However, I stand by the idea of stocking up on a couple dispel magics.Just wait to cast until the flayer is levitating forty feet off the ground.Then unshackle your fighter.Yep - The projection is a full on copy of the real thing. So it can behave as ifit were the real thing (that's 9th level spells for ya).Yep - Dispel magic would do the trick (against the flayers caster level of 8). Then,as I mentioned before - TTFN my dear illithid. Buh Bye.Er, what if you don't use the psi handbook? I would assume the regular spellcraftcheck would apply, albeit with a high DC; I figured you could disrupt the ability,but it was unlikely you could tell when the illithid was about to use it (knowledge: aberration, anyone?).~D</blockquote>
