I don't know a SS about their brain eating habits might be in order. :)

I'll have them influenced by Empathy and leave the Indomitable/Resistant to Influence question open (I agree that it would be Common, though, since the cost for immunity is 15 points).
Forgot that aspect, haven't read much about Illithids in a long time. Will be again soon though, partially due to your posts. ;)
