Illithid, mysteries and legend.

Some questions about Illithid or how i like to call them Squids.

So, is "Cone of Force" usefull ?

I noticed it is an area attack, but it does not always hit all the persons engaged me.

Do it has an use in PK ?

Leech.

Does anyone ever used this in PK ? Should i bother ?

Why don't Squid PK monsters ever used this on me ?

Telephaty

I know that i cannot yell, but is it common to have a mana cost associated with speaking ?

Or speaking yourself to no mana and thus, no more speaking ?

"You lack the strength to broadcast your message."

Do it has an use in PK ?

I am not a native english speaker, but just lol.

As on topic, I don't understand your last question about telepathy and I don't know the exact effects of cone, as for leech I believe it has same effects as mass histery.

Telepathy won't use mana if you speak in tells, it only drains for says and the like. I'm not sure if guild/clan chats also drain mana.

Cone is VERY useful. Especially when combined with sleep, and all your other mals.

Leech, probably less so, I never used it, because it just kinda seemed like a wasted round or two.

Look at the illithid necro pk logs, specifically against blademasters.

Also, telepathy uses 30 mana, per hour. If you talk/group tell more than once per in-game hour, it'll only burn it once.

refer to crackwilly for cone.

Really? When was this changed? I could have sworn it burned 30 mana every time you used 'say, group tell, or cabal chat'. Tells and clan-chat however are a different story and don't use any mana.

thats what I thought too.

I am pretty certain this is incorrect. Says and group chats will use 30 mana per message, I believe clan and cabal chats do not (though it's been a long time since my one was caballed, and he wasn't for very long).

Cone is very, very useful, but mostly as an opener on a sleeping target that lacks lag protection or when you just need to lag someone for a couple rounds and let your zombies finish them off.

Leech, if it lands, is incredibly deadly to just about any victim. Getting it to land, however, isn't super easy.

Yeah, tells are free, says and group chats cost 30. Clan chat costs nothing, cabal chat costs 70 however, which is why I very rarely used it with Wymsicant.

I had a weird semi-memory of cabal chat costing a ton from my 1.0 demon... couldn't recall for sure though.

I think that's silly. Telepathy, while using mental powers is a race skill. I don't think that mana should be deducted at all for it.

Yes, but, you get to talk to people while they're sleeping, without use of clan/cabal chat. And silence doesn't shut you up. Nothing more annoying than a telepathic woman.

Never did think you should be able to utilize clan/cabal chat to talk to sleeping people.

Telepathy is also a choice when you create an Illithid, so if the mana thing bothers, you can choose regular speech.

Dey

cone of force is extremly useful.

You get someone slept, ghoul touch them then cone of force them ..you just tied them down for three rounds.

If it fails, otherwise nearly six

Or you can just smote.

Is Leach this Powerful or just luck ?
