Fiere Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 Personally, I'd like to see them able to be something else besides just a necromancer. I mean, they're known most of all for there intelligence, you'd think that would lend them to other mage classes as well, neh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister E Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 They cant use any weapons, I think that would make them very weak as other mage classes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiere Posted January 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 Well, at least they wouldn't be overpowered. I myself wouldn't mind giving one a try as a different class. An invoker or a battlemage as an Illithid would be quite fun, I think. Especially if it wouldn't disturb the balance of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fiere Posted January 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 But you have to rank to 50 and get approved to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pali Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 Invoker illithid would be useless without a staff, I think. You can use held items, but they aren't nearly as good. Battlemage just doesn't fit illithids... they're dark, evil, intelligent beings that don't get their tentacles dirty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister E Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 Yep, and they are telepaths but I dont think communers would suit them either. Although an evil illithid cleric or shaman might be interesting. Particularly a shaman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiere Posted January 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 Not to keep butting my head against a wall (except maybe I am :}), but I don't think the whole not dirty hands thing for illithid battlemages would be a big deal. I mean, gnomes can be warriors and what not...I just think a little variety would be cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister E Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 Well, you could always apply, nothing like a little rp to get the job done. I'd love to see an illithid Blademaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I-Brake-4-Minotaurs Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 Illithid would be so overpowered as battlemages...hell even I would be able to kick *** with one. And for those people who know my characters know I was TERRIBLE with battlemages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tantangel Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 I would say an Illithid Invoker would be really all that bad. In fact, they can be just as deadly as any other races that can be Invokers, and possibly then some. I believe they're only Necromancers/Psi's for a reason though, as they probably would've been given more variety a long time ago. Granted it'd be nice if they were still given more variety now to class choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter the HP/mana they do have, they'd be casting far too slow for anyone with good eq to worry much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magick Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 I've known several invokers (myself included) to get ahold of those chargable items that are as-good-maybe-better than a staff. They're there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
