Jun 05, 2012 16:56:50 I am a bit new to playing the pen and paper game so I have a question. One in my group is an Ilithid, and he controls another Ilithid and sometimes other NPC's from far away. My questions: How far does a character have to be before the possesion is not possible? How many can an Ilithid posses at a time? (he's level 1) and can other characters that are not of his race link in what he calls the hive mind without being enslaved?

Sorry playing 3.5 and his class level is level 1

If memory serves, a Mind Flayer with 1 class level is the equivalent of a 14th or so level character once you factor in racial HD and level adjustment. So, probably in that ballpark.

Ideally, your ally will not enthrall you because that's a sucky thing to do, player-to-player. You'd have every right to request that he not do so, and he should honor that request.

16th level, in fact.

Not bad for not having looked at a 3e book in four years, if I do say so myself.
