[QUOTE="green slime, post: 434523, member: 1325"] I too have been using a similar idea. But I had only been using humanoid/giant types. I had the "auto" psion powers be relevant to their best stat*, so in this case, the Dire Illithibear would be using a powers from the Discipline of Psychometabolism, rather than Telepathy. These could be [/i]Claws of the Vampire[/i], [i]Body Adjustment[/i], and the power that lets you reduce damage to subdual damage. Dire Illithibears would fulfill another role in Illithid socities than your ordinary, run-of-the-mill illithids, utilizing their enormous strength. The elite commandos of their otherwise thrall armies. Or some such. Can you imagine the havoc as three of these [i]Plane shift[/i] into the home castle of a PC? *I've given Illithids 8 class levels in psion (8 because thats how many HD they have) instead of "free use psionics", except the plane shift, astral travelling powers that are beyond the reach of an 8th level psion. Then progression beyond that point is per standard rules "As character class". This gets illithids more powers, but they are limited to a (greater) number of power points. [/QUOTE]
