So I haven't the slightest idea what a half-illithid would be or how it would work in relation to elder brains and mind flayer colonies. But it sounds like fun.
The Aberrant mind sorcerer is essentially half Illithid/half other creepy psyonic power of your choosing
Yeah but the half-illithid in BG3 won't be just a sorcerer...it could be any class...and the tadpole powers are wildly different for every player class. The tadpole powers of the Rogue will look nothing like the tadpole powers of the Wizard, etc. These are like entirely new subclasses of sorts that mix and match with existing subclasses...it's like each player class will have tow stacking subclasses.
