Mind Flayer
Tormentor Tactics
A mind flayer tormentor stays well behind a wall of
thralls and allies, attacking with mind lance as it waits
to target a leader or a ranged combatant with tentacle
projection. When that power has a foe grabbed, the
tormenter makes its bore into brain attack at range. It
makes melee bore into brain attacks against any other
grabbed or stunned enemies close by in the fray.
