Yes, mind flayers cast that intelligence drain spell lowering intelligence to 7...but how can they kill my characters in only 3 hit points?

every hit from a mind flayer drains your Char of sevral Int. Points, when you INT. Stat gets to 0 they are dead.

IIRC 5 INT is drained with each hit. Therefore 3 hits can kill someone with less than 16 INT. Mages may survive four hits http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...miles/wink.gif I don't think there is anyway to avoid the INT drain when they hit you, althoug, their THACO is crap so as long as they don't stun u, u are all right. Use the cleric spell Chaotic Command to be immune to that psionic stun thing.

Potions of genius help a bit if your desperate.

Or, the shield of harmony works well.
