In the Savage Species Book, it is listed that you can make a half Illithid (mind flayer) but according to the Lords of Maddness that means of reproduction is not possible. Any Ideas from DM's out there on how to reconcile the two books?

Genetic experimentation by the Illithid. In 2nd edition, they had already created at least one species (the two gith' races) by experimenting on human slaves. Who's to say the haven't started using their own?

I've been playing D&D for 29 years. I've was ordained as a Christian minister 27 years ago. In all my years, I've never seen anything in D&D that is in conflict with the Bible. The very worst I've seen is that the game is very fun to play - and time slips away, which has led me to play late into the evening... making it hard to wake up on Sunday morning to go to church. The game is make believe. Have you ever watched a movie and imagined that you were the character on the screen? D&D is the same thing. Through the use of dice and a book full of rules, you get the description of a character that could be in a movie. Then the Dungeon Master creates a story like a playwright or a movie director. The biggest difference is that when the director (DM) describes the scene and yells "Action!" it is when YOU get to react to the scene. Imagine walking down a street and seeing a thief trying to steal a woman's purse. What do you do? You can keep walking or try to stop the robbery. If you decide to stop it, do you just stand there and scream for the police or do you do it yourself? If you do it yourself, do you just run up and try to push the thief away or hit him on the head with a base-ball bat? Congratulations - you were just playing D&D. It's the same thing.

A female Human(oid) can plane travel to the dream plane. As an awake traveler she can set up whatever reality she wants. at this point she can create a mind flayer with the appropriate sexual organs. She must now locate an actual mind flayer and via magic and Psyonics. put it to sleep and induce in it a dream state she can link to her precreated dream-work. When she has sex with the dream-flayer the masculine life force of the real flayer will transfer to her womb and the dream sperm will impregnate her. (use appropriate Will saves) and if she stays successfully in the dream plane long enough to carry her child to term It will be born a living half flayer with dream manipulation abilities. remember you can alter time in the dream plane so all this could take a matter of moments, real time.

I have been a DM for many years and one thing i have learned is that when the books fail you have to create something that makes it work.After all the books are only guidelines.
For this instance, I would allow someone wishing to create this species to create a spell in order to do,with options like it can only be used at a certain time of the year or under certain other rare conditions.Thus it is allowed but is rare and controlled in it's use.
Hope that helps you.

All the rules books are Guides, If you want to add this cross breed for playing, make it atainable but hard to achieve, read up and make the decision for your self, especialy if you are DMing the game, if you are just playing, ask the Dm how to go about creating it

IF you need it for your campain, do it. Unless you have a rules nazi on your team of players, nobody is going to bother you about it. And come one, D&D is about fantasy, creativity and being able to improvise, not sticking to the rules.
Get creative!! Think up a good background story as to why exactly were you able to bring one up. Was there some weird sort of a magical accident?

Not to confuse the issue, but in the "Complete Psion" book (the new one) they also have an illithid spawn as a prestige class... that might work better than either of your other options.

Do whichever is most interesting for your players. The books are just a starting point, as you know.

Don't. Be a real GM and answer the question for yourself. You don't need the rulebooks to decide.
