Type: Illithid Heritage
Source: Complete Psionic
Your acceptance of your illithid heritage is so encompassing that you have learned how to extract the brain of a helpless victim.
Prerequisite: Illithid Heritage, Illithid Grappler (4).
Benefit: You have fully embraced your illithid heritage and have developed a taste for the brains of other living creatures. You can extract the brain of a helpless or stunned victim once you have established a hold on its head with all four of your tentacles. You must begin your turn with all four tentacles attached. As a full-round action that provokes attacks of opportunity, you must then make a grapple check. If your grapple check is successful, your victim takes 2d4 points of Intelligence damage and grants you a number of temporary power points equal to the amount of intelligence damage you deal. Any creature reduced to Intelligence 0 by this attack is instantly slain.
Temporary power points gained with this feat last for 1 hour, and power points granted by this feat do not stack with each other.
This ability is useless against constructs, elementals, oozes, plants, and undead. It is not instantly fatal to opponents with multiple heads, such as ettins and hydras.
