I can modify AI with no problem nowadays, but I still have some trouble with these creatures. As I don't play so much as I build, my spells and abilities knowledge is a bit rusty.

 

Which spells or spell like abilities would one direct an Ilithid to cast?

Towards whom? (class, low saving throw)

 

Main event:

 

My way of dealing with Ilithids in BG2 was to wait for them to perform their animation to eat my brain, then run away with that given character and the creature would change agro.

I don't remember which spell this was, but I would love something like that. Does it exist on NWN2? Or an alternative? And if so, is there a method I am missing so that they miss their attack if the character is further away than a certain point from them, therefore imitating the behavior I explained above?

 

Conclusion, I'd like them to be able to insta kill people (what with brain eating and what not) if they are not careful, and if possible all this to happen scripted with distance between the creature and the player. Plus, maybe a couple more spell like abilities like fear etc which I hope you'll recommend.

 

Thanks a lot.

You might want to look at the script "x2_ai_mflayer" if you haven't already.  The script has the mind flayer get up close on an enemy that is stunned or paralyzed and then use its extract brain ability (spell 716).  I dont think it insta-kills but drains some amount of intelligence each use.  If the player is stunned long enough, it will extract brain over and over until they are dead

The script is from NWN1 but I don't see why it shouldn't work... some testing is in order. Or at least, even if it doesn't thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I could alter it but the general idea is correct. I just didn't think of searching because in NWN2 you fight no ilithids and I thought, why should there be a custom ai for them ?
