Choice to be a Illithid(Mindflayer) ?

[Higgs]

Is this an option to go full Mindflayer and be a badass?

[Stormwind]

Probably not, but I wish it was.

[Whut]

Modders will make it happen

Guess I just have to wait for a mod.

We don't know. Sven was saying you can embrace the powers end the game singularly powerful. It could well be you can become an independent Mindflayer with class levels. That's powerful.

Pure speculation.

[Pan Darius Cassandra]

I think it will be.

[Stormwind]

Maybe thats why you get level capped. Who needs levels when you are an all powerful psionic deity.

[Dionysos]

Would be fun ... but i would have the need to customize my mindflyer for such a playthrough.

[SonaGate2]

Embracing the tadpole powers is going to have horrible consecuences, so i think that in the end you fully convert to a mindflyer

[everybe2]

Yes, the issue would be that once you are transformed into the Mindflyer you are no longer yourself.

That means, technically , you don`t control it anymore.

Being a mindflayer means you died, it'd probably be the bad ending in anything

I don't think the level cap is so bad. It probably means you actually get to enjoy playing the last 8 hours or so at full 12th level and concentrate on maxing out magic items and secret powers.

But Our Mindflayers Are Different.

(No, really, we already know there’s something odd going on here.)

That's right. We'd be something like Omeleum in the Underdark, a free-willed Illithid, independent from any elder mind. Mindblast + brain extract attack + psionic powers + class levels and magic items = uber Tav.

But is it really ''we'' or ''it'' ?

[brendan_in_china]

With a massive ego and genius intellect, such a being can define for itself its meaning and purpose. It's beyond sexuality, as it's singularly perfect. Does have its memories, but as time goes by those old habits would become quaint remnants.

It'd kind of be like a monstrous Jon Irenicus.
