    Mindless undead are a good option up front, Mindblast, mind effecting spells in general, and Extract Brain do functionally nothing to them and Mind flayers have very few Clerics, and those they have are poorly optimized for fighting undead anyway.

      What weapons would you use to kill mind flayers?

      The important thing is to stay far, far away from melee range. I'd stick to DMRs, and similar, in 7.62x51mm or greater.
      But today's average soldier is like a Level 1 rogue, and the mindflayers are a race of super-geniuses, so I don't like our odds with any weapon.

        Funny enough this makes a lot of sense.
        Unless the wizard is going through the effort of mainting some sort of shield at all time in all places, a bullet to the skull from 1.5k away is probably the best way to take then out.

        Theres probably at least one urban fantasy that touches on this point, i remember reading about the concept a long long time ago, but i cannot remember for the life of me what it was

          In DnD high powered wizards normally have contingent spells that literally warp reality to take effect first no matter what.

          Luckily your average mind flayer actually kind of sucks as a wizard.

            That would be an interesting thing to parse out. Like, how would the order of events occur? Its not like MtG where you could just go "well in response, X triggers" the action has already happened
            How would the spell recognize the threat? Does it recognize intent? Does it all happen in less than a nanosecond?

              You could word it in a way to accommodate that

              "If a metallic object travelling at X meters/second or faster weighing less than Y oz. and would contact any part of my person, comes within Z cm. Activate and do... whatever

              >Does it recognize intent?
              Certain ones can

              >Does it all happen in less than a nanosecond?
              Unless stipulated otherwise it is assumed so.

              Theoretically you could make an auto-activated bullet shield, just gotta get clever with it

              Well, look, when you're dealing with magic, you're either going to accept that "reality warping" is a mechanic, or the conversation is going to break down at some point.

              >How would the spell recognize the threat?
              I'm really not trying to be a dick, but isn't this kind of like saying "How does my wishing ring know what gold is when I wish for it?" How could the conditions under which a curse or spell or enchantment takes place not recognize it's own conditions?

              >Does it recognize intent?
              I'm not sure why that would seem strange to you, mythology and folklore is full of magic that activates under innumerable conditions, including those only within the mind.

              >Does it all happen in less than a nanosecond?
              It could, couldn't it? Why not?
              It could warp time itself, potentially. It could work as though it was an objective observer of reality, there could be some ineffable transubstantial quality to the state of "being attacked". It could literally "un-do" effects after they had already occurred, potentially.

              The point being, the wizard conjures an effect with, for example, the criteria "If something were about to injure me, cast my protective spells preemptively."

              Consider Tuecer from the illiad, as the Champion of Apollo fighting the City of Apollo, fate or a blatant and sudden warping of space would always conspire to meet the conditions of both his blessings (you shall strike many enemies and win honor) and his curse (You shall not hit your target).

              Magic at high levels works like IRL cyberwarfare. Input X leads to output Y. X thing detected, Y thing happens.

              You could even compare it to reactive armor on tanks. You could compare it to modern day aircraft countermeasures. The wizard has it all set up to work when it needs to (or so he hopes) at least once.

              Magic, at least in the sense of D&D, requires preparation. If a magic user is prepared, he's basically a heavily armored fighting vehicle OR he's a glass cannon that hopes to his gods that he can kill everything fast enough that he might survive.

              Or he's a necromancer. Which is a different animal.

              If we are talking about causality warping magic then you could do something like this:
              >wizard gets shot in the head and dies
              >causality warping spell detects this and warps causality so that it never happened
              As a bonus the fact that it never happened means that the spell never triggered and is therefore still armed and ready for the next shot

        I mean, if we go by pathfinder, a starving Russian peasant soldier from WW1 has a CR 5 rating, so I'd like to think the average /k/ommando is at least a CR 7 monster, which would put them on the same danger level as an Ithilid.

        I bet that a full /k/ommando squad lead by an oldfag could take on a small Ithilid outpost.

          > Dex: 16

          That's not a soldier. It's a supersoldier.
          By definition, the average conscript's stats are:
          Str: 10
          Dex: 10
          Con: 10
          Int: 10
          Wis: 10
          Cha: 10
          A score of 16 is more than 3 standard deviations above the mean. (e.g., an IQ score of 150 would roughly correspond to a 16 Int.) A guy running around with two 16 scores is frankly well into "heroic adventurer" tier and should be exceptionally rare on Earth. (In fact, simple calculation: 1 in 548,822.)
          Your "starving Russian peasant soldier" is an Olympic-tier athlete with expert skills -- there MIGHT be one or two guys in today's tier-one SOF units who can compare.
          Also Pathfinder is gay and pozzed to the max.

      Far Realm Warlock shenanigans remind me of the time when I replaced the Drow with Skaven and my players decided to mass produce Brass Orbs and yeet every problem they had into a random plane of existence.
      It ended with an inter-planar war because none of them could work out where all these fucking Skaven were coming from and thought this must have been a plan conducted by their opposing side. The players had no clue they were the primary cause because they never found out what the Brass Orbs actually did, only that it made some swirling vortex which seemed to vaporise everything they threw it at; so when they got involved, they just made things worse by shuffling even more things to random places in space and time whilst everyone was under the impression that they were actually saving the world.

      I mean, the Psi Stalkers are basically psychic energy vampires who will go on a feeding frenzy. The problem is that, per official Coalition policy, they are utter untermensch, disgusting mutants themselves who are only tolerated for helping with destroying psychics and sorcerers, as well as monsters from the rifts.

      That's why you have shock troops on standby to eliminate the Psi Stalkers as well once they are engaging the Mind Flayers. Wait until both sides are busy, then hose them with rail gun fire and rockets.

      Mind Flayers lack the armor to save them from rail slug bursts. Psi Stalkers have modern armor but lack the same level of psychic power, don't have the heavy weapons and hoover bikes/power armor/Enforcer mechs of the shock troops.

      Enforcers are good, although I might also consider Glitterboys for the Boom Guns, since they hypersonic flechettes will fuck shit up at a distance.

      DESU, Illithids seem like they would cause only moderate trouble. All of Mexico is one giant vampire kingdom and the vampires combine significant psychic and magical powers with heavy use of their own bionics, power armor, and heavy weapons. That and vampires themselves are pretty physically tough. But Lone Star is weak for a Coalition state, smaller than Chi Town, and it does ok flanked by the vamps and the Federation of Magic. Seems better than having the Xiticix bug aliens in your flank like in Iron Heart.
