We all know mind flayers love to eat brains... and we all know that
zombies love to eat BRANES... So do zombie illithids *REALLY* love to
eat brains, or what?

It is more useful to refer to naturally brain-eating zombies as
ghouls. A ghoul mind flayer would eat brains quite quickly combining
paralysis with tentacle extraction abilities, though their motivation
would change to, "to take way the PAIN!"
We should be sympathetic to the lives of stupider regular
zombies. Give them explicit instructions to eat brains. Give them a
can opener as a weapon so that they can harvest brains without the
inconvenience of switching weapons.

Nah. Brain-eating zombies wouldn't have a paralysis attack.

Which reminds me -- I'm going to re-post my Ravenous Dead on Monday
morning when people will notice it.

I have the old version. It wasn't missed by me.

New writeup will have slightly better flavor text. Also the jump
mechanic is fixed -- I actually read the description of the Jump skill
this time, and it turns out that having a Speed of 50' gives you a +8 to
Jump checks, making their +10 racial bonus superfluous. Having a Jump
skill of +21 is nothing to sneer at -- it means 30' jumps are normal,
which is basically what I was aiming for.
