[QUOTE="Plane Sailing, post: 4118694, member: 114"] I'll bet that the D&D Mindflayer is more complex than that - no brain extraction for a start! As a reminder, Worlds and Monsters said [bq][B]Per encounter:[/B] [list][*][I]Mind Blast[/I] is now a renewable power, usable once per encounter to daze all creatures caught in its area (a lot less powerful!)
