== Illithid Power Stat Scaling ==

This hasn't been mentioned anywhere on the page, but Illithid Powers appear to scale with your best mental ability score (int/wis/cha). I initially thought that it was simply based on the Primary Ability by my Warlock using Charisma, but that was disproven by my Monk using Wisdom for her powers.
I'm fairly inexperienced in wiki-writing and was wondering how it would be best to write all this down in the Illithid Powers page proper. Thoughts?
: Seems pretty significant information. Maybe a "General Information"/"Mechanics" section, is justified? I'm kind of surprised this page doesn't already have one. I'd say just go ahead and add it however you feel is best. Better to add relevant, than to have it missing. Otherwise, checking out similar pages can help with style guidance for adding a new section to a page.
: You might find the [[Template:Notes|Notes]] and [[Template:Verify|Verify]] templates useful for adding information like this, though neither are a requirement. If in doubt, just add a paragraph to the start of the 'Notes' section. You or other editors can later decide how best to incorporate it into the main article. A wiki is intended to be a flexible document, after all. [[User:Llamageddon|Llamageddon]] ([[User talk:Llamageddon|talk]]) 14:54, 24 September 2023 (CEST)

== Illithid Persuasion ==

Illithid Persuasion is not unlocked automatically. Primary group chars got it unlocked (probably cause illithid dialog choice was used with them in group). Others do not have it unlocked.

== more meaningful colours ==

The gallery has an image which shows all the powers with coloured lines connecting the icon and the tooltip. The image gives the impression that the powers of the same colour are grouped, but that's actually not the case because the choice of colour was random and meaningless.
I suggest we do make the colours meaningful and provide useful information. The illithid powers consist of 5 branches, every branch starts with an ability in the innermost circle. Giving every branch their own colour will make it visually clear which early abilities are required for which later abilities.
