I'd call the Mind Flayers pretty unique, Faust. more to the point, I don't think it's about the word, "Illithid." If i wanted to make a ship called the "Illithid", and placed it in a very different style, it doesn't seem as if WotC would really care, as it's a different character entrely. In _If Thougths Could Kill_, it's a pretty clear reference to WotC's "character" of Illithids. Then again, what do I know? :) DM _______________________________________________ Ogf-l mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.opengamingfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/ogf-l
