[QUOTE="Plane Sailing, post: 1424473, member: 114"] Mindflayers use telepathy. Mindflayers use suggestion. It would be a bit mad if they couldn't suggest with their telepathy. Note that some creatures can specifically use telepathy to communicate with anything that has a language, while others don't have this proviso (I think) and as such one assumes they use telepathy in their normal language and the receipient must be able to understand that language in order to be affected by it. Basically if a victim of a language-dependent spells is affected by the magic (fails save) and "hears" (whether by telepathy or sound waves) "mumble FHRHR mumBLE!" he won't be able to respond to the magic, but if he understands the words "Jump in the lake" (whether by telepathy or sound waves) then he responds to the magic. "Hear" is the general case, "Telepathy" is the special case which overrides it. [/QUOTE]
