Fascinating!

maybe there will be gnome NPC's later, I hvanet played much cause of bugs so no spoilers pelase - I really like it so far smile


That lore is irrelevant. Halflings also typically can’t be turned into mind flayers either, and I think the same might be true for dwarfs. Either this old canon is being retconned or it has something to do with these not being normal mind flayer tadpoles.
