This battle is usually a pain in the arse for me, but I've just finished playing a solo half orc barbarian and it was the easiest fight i have ever had. I now see Barbarians as the Ultimate Illithid killers

my barb had

STR: 19
DEX: 18
CON: 19
INT: 10
WIS: 10
CHR: 7

Now turn on call on holy might you should have it as innate ability depending on alignment this will add +3 to STR, DEX, CON. Then I drunk lots of potions of Genius and Potions of Mind Focusing until my INT and DEX were 25, then drucnk a potion of speed and finally turned on Barbarian rage, with all this the stats above became:

STR: 25
DEX: 25
CON: 25
INT: 25
WIS: 10
CHR: 7

+ immune to psionics and all mind affecting magic because of barb rage

The Illithids didn't stand a chance, some of you may consider this overkill but I was playing a solo Barbarian on insane difficulty so I think it was justified in this instance (oh yes and another instance the illithid city in the underdark [img]smile.gif[/img] ).
