The "shut up it's magic" becoming a "shut up it's the tadpole"...
I find this very weak if that's it.
Stronger abililities such as a jump over 22m instead of 11m ? Seriously ?
Are we going to meet many other super heroes in the game or are our characters the only ones that have super tadpole abilities in the world ? Both cases are wierd.
If having access to the jump spell makes someone a superhero, and half the classes have access to the spell, then presumably we will meet other superheroes in the game. I don’t see what the problem is, though. Jump is a 1st level spell. Being a bhaalspawn also gave the character access to some special abilities, too.
Did you look at the exemples I gave ?
Maybe there's things I don't know from the rules and I'd be glad to learn about them, but here it's not about spells...
The basic "jump" ability allow characters to jump that far/high.
Yeah, that is the Jump spell. This is what the spell Jump let’s you do. Half of the classes in 5E have access to the spell (wizard, sorcerer, druid, ranger, warlock through invocations, lore bard).
So having the tadpole gives the host seemingly permanent access to the jump spell (there is also a warlock invocation that does the same thing) and some psionic abilities. And it lets vampires and drow endure sunlight.
Given all the other crazy superpower nonsense in the FR, I don’t see why this would be controversial.
