Illithid body tamer

The Illithid Body Tamer is a special prestige class of the illithids that focuses on martial skill over psionic prowess.

Illithid Body Tamers follow a discipline called the "Tamer Creed" which says that only a potent military force with insure Illithid society's future existence. They maintain that only by abstaining from psionics will they strengthen their considerably frail bodies sufficiently enough to become accomplished fighters.

Abilities

 * Code of Mental Abstinence: By training the body for combat and forgoing the use of their psionic abilities, Illithid Body Tamers can actually improve the fortitude of their bodies. Needless to say, such a payoff is valuable for a race of admittedly physically weak individuals.


 * Strength of Arms: An Illithid Body Tamer can use both its tentacles and its weapon to make a devastating attack against its opponent.


 * Death Whirlwind: An Illithid Body Tamer can psionically power a whirlwind attack, which can potentially kill its opponent instantly.
