Message: <blockquote data-quote="Laslo Tremaine" data-source="post: 1843530" data-attributes="member: 330">Last week our party got jumped by a trio of Psionic Mindflayers (ala XPH [this is a 3.5e game]).Our party make up at the time was:Dwarf Fighter 8Human Cleric 8Human Wizard 8Human Fighter 4/ Rogue 3Gnome Druid 8We had just taken out a large group of mercenaries (about 20) and their Kensai Leader.  Evidently in the process we aggravated the heretofore mysterious BBEG, who telepathically contacted the Wizard, expressed his displeasure, and popped in three (heavily buffed) XPH Mindflayers.  The trio then proceeded to hand us our posteriors (mind-blasting us, and then eating our brains at their leasure).  The only party member to get away, was the Wizard, who decided that descretion was the better part of valor...Now that we have all been ressurected (and are all a level lower), the question now is, "How do you take out a group of Mindflayers, and is there any way to protect against a mindblast?"We have full access to the library of the God of Knowledge, and the head priest is greatly indebted to us.  So we have very good in-game resources for researching the information. The problem is that none of the players knows of any tricks to solve the problem.Right now our only solution is to find ways to boost our will saves.  But with the combined attacks of three, possibly four, mindflayers, means that even with decent saves (which the fighters do not have) odds are against us. The question then becomes, "In base 3.5, is there any sure-fire protection from Mind Blast?Anyone got any suggestions?  We're all pretty concerned about our current state of hosed-ness...</blockquote>
