Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General Using the Tadpole...is there any disadvantage?

My guess is that at some point in the story having abused the tadpole or getting the brand will railroad choice in favor of the Absolute (or whomever control the Absolute).

You will be mind-controlled, less or more. Might get a will save.

Maybe wearing a hag's mask all the time might counter it... lol.

Oh and Astarion doesn't appear to feel super well despite being the only one who approve. The tadpole also grows, so it might be unremovable if you use it too much.
