[QUOTE="(Psi)SeveredHead, post: 573929, member: 1165"] About Sardior... the Mind's Eye is releasing the official 3e Sardior in late January. Not much works needs to be done here :) I don't have the Illithiad, but it looks like virtually all of these are useful. Body Equilibrium and Sense Link aren't particularly useful in combat, but they are "flavor" (eg ordinary mind flayers often have these powers) As for the ulitharid - I really liked the way mind flayers were done in the Illithiad, but not the ulitharid. It's virtually the same thing as a mind flayer. I would suggest Charisma 18, giving it a couple more manifester levels, and one more power (Tailor Memory, or better yet the bard spell Modify Memory as a psionic power). This is pretty basic. With only 3 powers known, I guess it would have around 7 manifester levels. Psionics: 3/day-detect thoughts, empathy, invisibility, mind blank (or something similar), major image. These abilities are as the powers manifested by a 5th-level psion. Each 3/day, I suppose. This takes a bit more work. I assume the "average" Saltor has average intelligence. Exceptional Saltors would be advanced saltors. Usually advancing a psionic creature does not grant more powers, but you can make an exception in this case. Like the D20 Modern SRD does, you can include an advanced version of the creature, and you can also "suggest" powers that a typical Saltor might discover (eg Dimension Door). [/QUOTE]
