Aabahran: The Forsaken Lands

Illithids are an evil race of subterranean creatures who are endowed with vast mental abilities.  They possess the intelligence and wisdom to match almost any other race above or below the surface.  They have been known to stun foes with a projected cone of force in combat.  In cases of emergencies, Illithids enter a state of shock, in which their body divert their mental resources directly into healing for a limited amount of time. However, they cannot heal either their body or mind for its duration, and therefore this is used only as a last resort to ward off death.  Due to their subterranean nature they are vulnerable to light based attacks, while their mental prowess and unnatural metabolism grant them resistance to mental and lighting based spells and attacks.

Illithids cannot wield weapons, but they can parry using an innate skill. They have automatic proficiency in several minor spells.
