Well, for many it would be the Hidden Talent feat which would not adjust the
CR at all. For the rest it would be a simple matter of adding Psionic Class
Levels and adjusting acordingly. I would also allow Power Resistance to be
present and equal to Spell Resistance for all natives of the Sphere. (I use
the rule that PR=SR-10 and SR=PR-10. Natives of this sphere would not suffer
the -10 reduction) The balancing is easy, and it does pave the way for some
fun "scare 'em to death," encounters before they tumble to the Drommites.
Once they find a hive they can get utfitted with detect psionics spells and
the like.

And don't forget the Githzeri and Githyanki. (If you wanated to run a full
on Githyanki Invasion the Incursion stuff done in dungeon and Dragon
Magazines was sweet. It is one storyline I am considering) The interactions
of all three gith races in a high psi sphere that also hosts Illithids and
Aboleths. Think about it. This could well be a terrific high level campaign.
Perhaps they are after the Tomb of Gith (the Star Net adventure at
http://www.spelljammer.org/plots/index.html is a fun SJ take on the Tomb of
Gith idea. It would also require minimal retooling to add to the asteroid
cluster that is Mirror....) or a Psionic artifact like the Annulus. Of
course any other races coming in range had best look out......

Quick shorthand on Cerebreliths: PsiLike Abilities-Brain Lock, detect
psionics, ego whip, id insinuation, mind trap, psionic dominate, ectoplasmic
form, mind probe, mind thrust. SpellLike Abilities-deeper darkness, detect
good, dispel good, greater teleport, magic circle against good, unholy
blight. They are described as constantly honing their mental abilities and
so it would be natural to find them dominating groups of slave entities on a
quest for more (psi)power.
