Illithid powers: Difference between revisions

Once the player attempts to cross the bridge leading to the [[Goblin Camp]] in [[Act One]], a cutscene involving the [[Mysterious Artefact]] will trigger. During the next [[long rest]], they will be visited by the [[Dream Guardian]] who encourages the player to accept and wield the power the tadpole gives. This dream starts the [[Embrace Your Potential]] quest and enables the party to consume tadpoles in exchange for illithid powers.

Once the quest has started, consuming [[Mind Flayer Parasite Specimen]]s, such as from the corpses of other infected, will allow the player to unlock new powers. [[Karlach]], [[Wyll]], [[Lae'zel]], and [[Shadowheart]] will initially refuse to use illithid powers, but can be convinced to use them through [[Persuasion]] checks. 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.
