It would thematically fit the idea, it would also work lorewise as a GOO warlock would have a more direct bond with the tadpole. If you have noticed by now, you can only use this chat feature once per character per long rest. With no real limit to swapping characters to burn their Illithid option.... or just taking a long rest before an important conversation.... this is a nice quality of life buff for someone wanting to run a Warlock as their main character. theyu would never need to change characters or gimmick a save scummed long rest again.


That would be a nice bonus for GOO Warlocks, always have the tadpole power available.


It would be a lot harder to implement than you'd expect - I think a large part of the reason they limited the illithid powers is that they tied it into the dreams.. if you use a ton of illithid powers without resting, it leaves the narrative with the dreams in a kind of awkward spot, because they were designed under the assumption that you'd only be doing it once per rest.
