Mind Flayer Racial Template
Hello. I've been translating the Mind Flayer (from Dungeons & Dragons) into GURPS, and this is what I came up with.
Mind Flayer: 260 points Attribute Modifiers: ST+1 [10]; DX+2 [40]; IQ+6 [120]; HT+1 [10] Secondary Characteristic Modifiers: Per-2 [-10]; Will +2 [10] Advantages: Brain-Eating (See below) [12] Damage Resistance 2 (Tough Skin, -40%) [6] Indomitable [15] Infravision [10] Lifting ST +3 (One attack only: Brain-Eating, -60%) [4] Mind Blast (See below) [48] Mind Shield 5 [20] PK Talent 1 [5] Reduced Consumption 4 [8] Slippery 3 [6] Telepathy Talent 2 [10] Tentacles (See below) [56] Unfazeable [15] Perk: No Sense of Smell/Taste reduced to No Sense of Smell [1] Disadvantages: Callous [-5] Hard of Hearing [-10] Intolerance (Total) [-10] Megalomania [-10] No Sense of Humor [-10] No Sense of Smell [-5] Reputation (Evil, brain-sucking abomination, -4; applies to everyone) [-20] Restricted Diet (Brains) [-20] Sadism (15) [-7] Social Stigma (Monster) [-15] Quirks: Dislike physical labor; Prefer moisture to dryness; Prefer telepathy to speech; Sexless [-4] Typical Powers (102 points extra): Mind Control (No Memory, +10%; Suggestion, -40%; Telepathy, -10%) [30] Mind Reading (Telepathy, -10%) [27] Telecommunication (Telesend; Telepathy, -10%) [27] Walk on Air (PK, -10%) [18] Brain-Eating: Constriction Attack (Tentacles only, -20%) [12]. This attack isn't really constriction; it's basically the mind flayer burrowing into the skull and eating the brain. Developed on this thread. Tentacles: 4 Extra Arms (Extra-Flexible, +50%; Temporary Disadvantage: Ham-Fisted, -10%) [56]. Mind Blast: Affliction 1 (Based on Will, +20%; Cone (15 yard length and width), +200%; Malediction 2, +150%; Secondary Paralysis, +30%; Visible, -10%; Telepathic, -10%) [48]. OPTIONS:

Re: Mind Flayer Racial Template
Mmmm illithids... Coolest mob from Dungeons and Dragons if you also apply the Lich template =).
Hey, I'm interested in seeing a Vampire Illithid template! This was as real monster in the Monster Manual III. They were stark-raving mad, too... so awesome =). |

See Powers page 101. Basically, the cones max width also becomes it's max length.
