Tips for A newbie Playing as R'lyeh

[Sandman]

R'lyeh tips:

Star Children can assassinate, but they're pretty hopeless at it. Worse than basic assassins, even. In other words, don't bother.

Unarmoured Illithids have a slightly more powerful mind blast than Illithid soldiers.

By "hopeless" do you mean "AWESOME"? As in, amphibious, high MR, mind blast, mind burn, soul slay, free ethereality and luck, and even the ability to assassinate low-astral Gods and SCs with Magic Duel? It's hard for me to imagine a Star Child losing an assassination attempt except versus a powerful mage, a high MR thug, or someone with many (or cavalry) bodyguards.

any fast enemy who gets lucky can kill them but i love them. The best part is, even if your not assasinating with then they can research or something (give them skull talismans, then they are very multipurpose)
