Notes

  • Illithid Arcanists have 2 variants: one with Fire Shield: Chill and Fire resistance, and another with Fire Shield: Warm and Cold resistance.
  • Their version of Magic Missile deals more damage, fires more missiles, and has a significantly longer range. This makes them dangerous if not dealt with quickly.

Loot

  • Random gemstone or alchemy ingredient
