| Red_Decker07-07-07, 01:26 AM | A "human" Illithid body tamer Take any psionic race or wild talented character use 4 levels of fighter for the feats Slap on the Illithid Heritage feat, Illithid skin, Illithid grapple x2: Example: Human Fighter 1: Wild Talent 1: Illithid Heritage 1: Great Fortitude 2: Power attack 3: Illithid Grapple 4: Weapon focus [tenticle] 6: Illithid Grapple 6: Weapon Specialist [tenticle] then go with Illithid Body Tamer for 10 levels that could be interesting http://www.geocities.com/customsmiliesbyswordmaster/inthered.txt |

| Red_Decker07-07-07, 08:11 PM | Enough to beat... the drow? ;) I did kinda smile when I saw you posted. Maybe with that added human element. ;) What do you think though, they get tons of bonuses to tenticle attacks and don't have to worry about using their psionics like most illithid do. http://www.geocities.com/customsmiliesbyswordmaster/inthered.txt |
| baltasar_basilius07-08-07, 12:27 PM | To take the grapple you need 2 illithid feats. heritage and something else. So youll need to add another illithid feat in there somewhere. |

Oops... swap out Illithid skin with the first grapple and then grapple w/weapon spec. http://www.geocities.com/customsmiliesbyswordmaster/inthered.txt |
| baltasar_basilius07-08-07, 08:02 PM | Example: Human Fighter 1: Wild Talent 1: Illithid Heritage 1: Great Fortitude 2: Power attack 3: Illithid Grapple 4: Weapon focus [tenticle] 6: Illithid Grapple 6: Weapon Specialist [tenticle] then go with Illithid Body Tamer for 10 levels that could be interesting I still don't see where you would place the skin feat. When looking these up, I noticed the heritage feats also count as psionic, and i thought I might try my hand at this. Psion 1/Psy-warrior 2/ Fighter 2/ whatever--- 1st: Illithid Heritage 1st (Human): Illithid skin or Illithid Compulsion 1st (Psion): Illithid Grapple 2nd(Psy-warrior): Illithid Grapple 3rd(Psy-warrior): Illithid Grapple 3rd: Illithid Grapple 4th (Fighter): Weapon focus [tenticle] 5th (Fighter): Weapon Specialist [tenticle] 6th: Illithid Extraction So there you have it. You obviously can play around with it how you see fit. You can ditch the weapon focus and specialization if you care more about manifesting psionics, or maybe go into kensai and add some crazy abilities to the tenticles. Rather than wasting your time with a LA of 7 and 8 HD, instead you too can be eatting brains in as little time as 6 levels! |
| Khan the Destroyer07-08-07, 08:44 PM | I did kinda smile when I saw you posted. Maybe with that added human element. Good times, good times. How do you qualify for the Body Tamer prestige class? You need to be an illithid, illithidkin, or half-illithid. Do these feats qualify you? |

Looks to me like Illithid Heritage makes them Illithidkin, I couldn't find an actual definition of illithidkin, so that was my interp. @ baltasar_basilius: your right there are some problems. The problem with taking Psion, or Psywar is you then just have some wasted space of abilities since you're supposed to forgo the use of your psionic abilities. Ok needed feats are: Great Fortitude, Power attack, and Weapon focus [tenticle], Wild Talent, illtihid Heratige. you need a BAB of +6 maybe taking two levels of Psywar and 5 levels of fighter will do it. PsyWar 2, Fighter 5 1(h): Illithid Heritage 1(P): Illithid Skin 1: Illithid Grapple 2(p): Illithid Grapple 3: Great Fortitude 3(f): Power attack 4(f): Weapon Focus [Tentacle] 6(f): Weapon Spec [Tentacle] 6: any here maybe go for more Illithid Grapple or Skin, Combat relfexes could be good since the tentacle will gain reach after a few levels. At 17th level your tentacles will do: 1d8+str+2[spec]+2[insight] http://www.geocities.com/customsmiliesbyswordmaster/inthered.txt |
| baltasar_basilius07-09-07, 09:13 PM | Sorry, didn't know you were trying to avoid Psion. I was just personally trying to get to extraction as fast as I could, then posted what i found here. PS. Where are you getting the extra reach and 1d8 from? I'd be interested to see how you do that. |

Where are you getting the extra reach and 1d8 from? I'd be interested to see how you do that. Illithid Body Tamer gives those as special abilities. They are illithid that focus on the martial side of conquest. They first get an advance to 1d6 then to 1d8 with their tentacles and also some Expertise feats that can only be used with their tentacles. http://www.geocities.com/customsmiliesbyswordmaster/inthered.txt |
