I hate the illithid. There really is no trick to killing them; you can protect against their psionic attacks relatively easy, but as if that wasn't enough, they're also deadly when they come into close range. The way they work is this. Each melee hit of theirs drains, I think, five intelligence. If your intelligence drops below zero, you're dead. Simple enough. I had Edwin conjure an invisible stalker, which is immune to their mental attacks and can't be mentally drained (I think it has a null intelligence factor or somesuch).
