[QUOTE="Calico_Jack73, post: 1424372, member: 14403"] Yep... The Illithiad was a great book! All fluff with just a little bit of game mechanics thrown in. According to The Illithiad, Flayers don't need to eat brains all that often but they do find pleasure in it. SO... being the enterprising villains that they are they construct huge ampitheaters for "Performance Eating". The Performance Eater is an Illithid who is reknowned for his ability to enjoy eating brains to the very utmost. They bring in a victim and the Performance Eater forms a telepathic link with all of the Illithids in the amptheater so the can all experience his pleasures and sensations while he is eating the victims brain. Sometimes, he'll also create a link with the victim so the victim senses the anticipation of the feeding, the pleasure and taste of feeding on his own brain (until he dies of course). :eek: If this were a 3E book it'd have a "Mature Reader" sticker on it. You can get it from RPG Now at: [url]http://www.rpgnow.com/product_info.php?products_id=1487[/url] [/QUOTE]
