The opportunity to convince these party members to partake in illithid powers will be provided again in early [[Act Three]], if they remain reluctant early on. | ||

In [[Early Access]], illithid powers were much simpler. Instead of consuming other tadpoles to gain points to spend on powers, your tadpole grew more powerful as you used Illithid Persuasion options in dialogue. Once you'd used Illithid Persuasion three times, a special cutscene was triggered during your next long rest and each character gained a single illithid power unique to their class. Some of these abilities were reworked into the current illithid powers. A full list of Early Access powers can be seen below: | In [[Early Access]], illithid powers were much simpler.
