They possess the intelligence and wisdom to match almost any other race above or below the surface. They have been known to stun foes with a projected cone of force in combat. In cases of emergencies, illithids enter a state of shock, in which their body divert their mental resources directly into healing for a limited amount of time. However, they cannot heal either their body or mind for its duration, and therefore this is used only as a last resort to ward off death.
Nice idea, but spells and psionic abilities are not one in the same. So, an entirely different set of things would need to be coded for just one race, similar to bards and their songs (and from reading the forums, it took forever to get bards in).
The "state of shock" that you suggest, would that render the race unable to any defensive move (flee/retreat/etc)?

As I read this I see the tentacles being a replacement for arms/legs. Does this mean they cannot wear armor on their arms/hands/wrists/legs/feet/ or even rings? Would this require more special weapons to be coded similar to the griffon-only weapons since they have tentacles and not arms and hands to grasp conventional weapons? Maybe it would be easier to code something exactly the same as griffons/centaurs/minotaurs but with a different name, then the armor restrictions and specialty weapons are already done.
Nice idea though, but I don't see it being added anytime soon.
