Message: <blockquote data-quote="UniversalMonster" data-source="post: 883634" data-attributes="member: 1034">This is a lesser villian from my new Oathbound campaign- a mind-flayer with 'elite' stats (Savage Species) and the alien template from Monsters Handbook applied, and some minor tweaks put in (I gave him a psionic feat that he technically doesn't meet the requirements for, but it seems like he should have.) I applied the template and put him at CR 10, but for some reason, I think my players (CR 7 group) can take him down as a final battle in the first session. I want them to be able to take him down, anyhow. Is he too powerful?SilurianSilurian was a mind flayer captured by a strange psionic vortex from one of the lowest pits of the undercity of Penance, a place called the 'Deep Graves'. After his capture, he spent nearly a century as a scattered energy being, trapped in the psychic displacement chamber of an alien intelligence called 'Overmind' and used as living fuel. After a group of adventurers defeated Overmind, Silurian was eventually able to gather enough psychic energy to reconsitute his physical form, and break out, sapping the Overmind's ruined crystal complex of all of its remaining energy. He emerged  changed, with a massively enlarged head, the ability to fly, and a withered, dessicated body. His tentacles developed cruel hooks and talons along their length, and his entire form seemed to crackle continuously with excess psychic energy.
