CrabHeart 01-23-07, 08:42 AM	we have a drow and a mind flayer in the party... the drow could probubly wear a mask and a cloak but the mind flayer cant live in the light rite?
Radijs 01-23-07, 09:59 AM	Light won't kill a mindflayer. The angry mob might... I suggest you get the mind flayer a hat of disguise or something similar. That ought to help.
DarkNick 01-23-07, 02:48 PM	Are you the DM? If you are then I suggest you either set adventures somewhere where these things don't matter. Alternatively just let is slide - its a strange world, people will stare but otherwise not take much notice. If you are a player then maybe you could talk to the DM, ask him if hiding their identity is going to matter.
CrabHeart 01-23-07, 05:32 PM	nope im just a player...
mcnoo 01-23-07, 07:14 PM	Hide them in a portable hole, then bury it, for kicks.
DarkNick 01-23-07, 07:23 PM	Well, if the DM has allowed those races then hiding them should not be a problem unless the DM specified that it was going to be a problem. If it is a problem then let those particular players worry about it. If worst comes to worst you can pretend that they had enslaved you. Angry mob kills mindflayer and dark elf, those players make up new characters, problem solved. ;)
PhaedrusXY 01-23-07, 08:12 PM	Hat of Disguise.
Fatalis_902 01-23-07, 09:16 PM	Hat of disguise works, until the party gets within 60' of an illithid slayer. Then the issues start.
Kradlo 01-24-07, 02:17 PM	You have a party member that eats the brains of sentient beings, and you're wondering how to hide him? The one that should be hiding is you, and I mean from your fellow players. Face it, boy, you're on the menu. :P
DarkNick 01-24-07, 02:30 PM	Hey, is that a mindflayer in your pocket? :eek:
Fatalis_902 01-24-07, 04:55 PM	Hey, is that a mindflayer in your pocket? :eek: If it is, I'll have to kill you for harboring illithids.
DarkNick 01-24-07, 06:14 PM	If it is, I'll have to kill you for harboring illithids. Always wear protection, you don't want to get infected with illithiads....I also heard you can catch them off toilet seats. Always check for tenticles.
Fatalis_902 01-24-07, 08:51 PM	Always wear protection, you don't want to get infected with illithiads....I also heard you can catch them off toilet seats. Always check for tenticles. Where...the...CRAP did that come from?
DarkNick 01-24-07, 09:48 PM	Just random junk. I started thinking about Mindflayers in the pocket and made a strange leap to thinking about illithiads as a kind of fantasy sexually transmitted disease :yuck:.....made perfect sense at the time. :looloo:
LiefKarakse 01-24-07, 09:49 PM	Hey, is that a mindflayer in your pocket? :eek: no I'm just happy to see you
DarkNick 01-24-07, 09:50 PM	no I'm just happy to see you :clap:

Just try to avoid using the ruse around charitable clerics. It might also make getting him in and out of walled cities a problem. Basically, with "monstrous" PCs, the thing to do is get someone in the party with a decent Survival skill and live in the wilderness. If the Mind Flayer needs to buy something from town, give a normal PC a "shopping list" and a bag of gold (make sure he's trustworthy too, obviously.)
