Planescape Converting Planescape monsters

[Shade]

For invincible foes, there's nothing really much like it anymore, but disable (target thinks it's disabled) or painful strike (natural weapons deal extra subdual damage) might work as a low-level subsitute.

Good suggestions!

And I think it's only fair to point out that the reason that illithids don't get psionic blast as a power is because it's a weaker version of their own mind blast.

Yeah, good point. I forgot that eater of knowledge doesn't have mind blast.

All the more reason why it should have psionic blast.

so.... (critique!)

Psi-Like Abilities (Sp): At will - astral caravan, catapsi, control body, control object, ego whip, id insinuation, inertial barrier, inflict pain, intellect fortress, matter agitation, matter manipulation, mental barrier, mind probe, mind thrust, mindlink, psionic blast, psionic dimension door, psionic disintegrate, psionic dominate, read thoughts, telekinetic force, telekinetic maneuver, telekinetic thrust. Manifester level 10th. The save DCs are Charisma-based.


Of course, not all will be at will…

They look good. I'd probably put catapsi, intellect fortress, mind probe, psionic blast and psionic dominate at 3/day, and psionic disintegrate at 1/day.

Demiurge out.

Psionics (Sp): At will - animate objects, astral projection, confusion (DC 17), daze monster (DC 17), detect thoughts (DC 17), dimension door (DC 18), inflict light wounds (DC 16, 1d8+5), mage armor, pyrotechnics (DC 17), stoneskin, telekinesis (DC 20), telepathic bond; 3/day - dominate monster (DC 24), globe of invulnerability; 1/day - disintegrate (DC 21).

Also, to account for psionic blast...

Mind Blast (Sp): An eater of knowledge can discharge a devastating psionic attack in the form of a cone 60 feet long. Anyone caught in this cone must succeed on a DC X Will save or be stunned for 3d4 rounds. The save DC is Charisma-based. This ability is the equivalent of a 4th-level spell.

As a sidenote - try not to forget augmentations for psi-like abilities!
