[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 5955299, member: 57383"] Yes, I've been feeling down about it every now and again too. Better not to get morbid about it, I think. Yes, there's a lot of other bits and bobs to do. Some of them are only mentioned in one entry, so I think we should consider only applying them to the "Wingless Wonder" version of the Alkeda. I'd prefer the former option, e.g.: [B]Immunity To Adhesion (Ex):[/B] No known adhesive will stick to a wingless wonder's skin. This makes wingless wonders immune to effects such as tanglefoot bags, adhesive webs (both from monstrous spiders and the [I]web[/I] spell) and even [I]sovereign glue[/I]. This immunity offers no protection against other sorts of grappling or entangling attack. The immunity to fire's fine. That first bit suggests its Fast Healing 1 might not work against [I]wounding[/I] weapons or attacks that cause Blood Drain. Using [I]mind blank[/I] seems a much better fit than Closed Mind. Yes, the mental blast only works when it's dying. Mind flayers stunned their opponents with their special mind blast in 1st edition AD&D, same as later editions. A 1st edition psionic character couldconfuse an opponent with a Psionic Blast and cause idiocy with an Ego Whip. However, standard mind flayers don't have those attacks in that edition - their only psionic attacks are Mind Thrust and their special Mind Blast. Immunity to stunning, fear and non-lethal damage, perhaps? Maybe increase that to stunning, mind-affecting effects and non-lethal damage? [/QUOTE]
