== Becoming Partially-Illithid ==
A '''partial-illithid''' is a character who has undergone a transformation and become a partial [[mind flayer]], gaining the passive {{SAI|Partial Ceremorphosis}}. Partial-illithids gain access to [[Illithid_powers#Elite powers|elite illithid powers]], but also experience a physical change.
Once you leave Act II and move your camp to Wyrm's Crossing, you will be attacked by [[Githyanki]] [[Monk|monks]] upon long rest. After the fight, [[the Emperor]] will offer you the [[Astral-Touched Tadpole]]. If you open your mind to (or eat) it, you will undergo a partial transformation. Your appearance will change, but non-party NPCs will not make any comment about it. After doing this, you may offer companions the Astral-Touched Tadpole as well; but they will require a [[Persuasion|persuasion]] check.


== Becoming partial-illithid ==
After completing [[Act Two]] and travelling to the outskirts of [[Baldur's Gate]], the party will be attacked by [[Githyanki]] [[Monk]]s upon long resting. After the fight, [[The Emperor]] will offer the player the [[Astral-Touched Tadpole]].


The player may use the astral tadpole immediately, however other characters will have to be [[Persuasion|Persuaded]] ([[Minthara]] will want to use the tadpole, but she must be spoken to for the option to become available). A character can then choose to open their mind to the tadpole (or eat it) to undergo partial ceremorphosis. Note that if any character chooses to eat the tadpole, others will not be able to use it.


When being given the astral tadpole, the [[Wisdom]] [[DC]] to resist it is variable based on how many tadpoles the player has used. {{verify}} A player who has not used any tadpoles will not have to pass any skill check.


== Partial-illithid powers ==
A partial-illithid will gain access to the outer tier of [[Illithid_powers#Elite powers|elite illithid powers]], which can now be unlocked with [[Mind Flayer Parasite Specimen]]s:
{{div col}}
* {{SAI|Absorb Intellect}}
* {{SAI|Black Hole}}
* {{SAI|Displacer Beast Shape}}
* {{SAI|Fracture Psyche}}
* {{SAI|Freecast}}
* {{SAI|Illithid Expertise}}
* {{SAI|Mind Blast}}
* {{SAI|Mind Sanctuary}}
* {{SAI|Psionic Dominance}}
{{div col end}}


As well, they immediately obtain the following [[Illithid powers|powers]] (any regular [[tadpoles]] the character might have already spent to unlock these abilities will be refunded):
* {{SAI|Concentrated Blast}}
* {{SAI|Favourable Beginnings}}
* {{SAI|Fly (Illithid Power)|Fly}}
* {{SAI|Force Tunnel}}
* {{SAI|Psionic Overload}}
* {{SAI|Transfuse Health}}

You will immediately gain access to the following [[Illithid Powers|powers]] if you did not already have them:

</gallery>


== Notes ==
[[Concentrated Blast]]
* During the partial ceremorphosis scene, some of the character's teeth may fall out. However, a full set of teeth can be seen in later scenes with the character.
* Non-party NPCs will not make any comments about transformed characters.
* Becoming partial-illithid changes only the character's appearance, access to illithid powers, and a small set of companion comments. It does not consequentially affect story choices.
