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.
A '''Partial-Illithid''' is a character who has undergone a transformation and become a partial [[Mind Flayer]]. Partial-Illithids gain access to [[Illithid_powers#Elite powers|elite illithid powers]], but also experience a physical change.


== Becoming partially-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.


== Partial-illithid powers ==
A partial-illithid will immediately gain access to the following [[Illithid Powers|powers]] (any regular [[tadpoles]] the character might have already spent to unlock these abilities will refunded):
* {{SAI|Concentrated Blast}}
* {{SAI|Favourable Beginnings}}
* {{SAI|Force Tunnel}}
* {{SAI|Psionic Overload}}
* {{SAI|Transfuse Health}}
* {{SAI|Fly (Illithid Power)|Fly}}


As well they gain access to the outer tier of [[Illithid_powers#Elite powers|elite illithid powers]] (though these will require additional [[Mind Flayer Parasite Specimen]]s):
