The reason people resent the hell out of R'lyeh? Two things -- underwater race and paralyze. The illithid are gross with paralyze (although not nearly as much as they once were, thanks to the bug fix) and the fact that they get time to sit around and build underwater doesn't help the love. Top that off with their natural ability to sit around and clam hoard (which I don't see as a problem -- but DON'T be hijacking my thread on that score) and, well, you've got a hated race.

Now, granted, they don't have a few things that -really- chafe like a default death domain, miasma, or heat/cold envirospread. But they're plenty obnoxious all the same.

I just play them because I'm a huge Lovecraft fan. Well, that and I appreciate a little turtling at the beginning of a game (my recent activity in TenToTango notwithstanding...)
Ah, the Mind BLast.

Have you tested Star Children since 2.11? They are less effective since the patch. Not debilitated, but less effective... Joe Commander can get them because the Paralyze isn't *permanent*.

Otherwise, I haven't found that the change... errr, correction has really effected them that much. Battles tend to be over before it really matters.
