Bah! I say to all this Mordenkainen's / Planetar / Blade Barrier stuff! Do it like a man--what could cause the Illithids more embarrassment than to have their entire population slaughtered by a single Warrior who was completely immune to all their spells?
Do you have a Warrior? Good.
Does (s)he have more than 10 INT? Good.
Does (s)he have a Save vs. Spells of 0 or lower? Good.
Now go run along and play.
Honestly, the right tactics make all the difference between Illithids and Beholders eating you alive, and you swatting them all the hell over the place. There is no middle ground, which I find disappointing.
