dealing with Illithids?

[Taqwus]

Another note is that every Starspawn has Astral; holy Starspawn have astral-1 (2 if the random falls on astral) and the pure-mage Starspawn have at least Astral-3. That can give them access to Opposition, Enslave Mind, Mind Duel et al. Keep that in mind if you bring in astrally skilled commanders or magical units.

Taqwus, that was a good suggestion about using gift of reason. Because I was thinking that it would give them a mind and make them vulnerable. Good to know that it doesn't.
