"Greetings, mortal. I offer you great power, but first, you must give me your soul!"
"Oh, goodness no. I could never give you my soul. No deal."
"Behold, mortal! Here is thy gift of power!"
"Whoa, whoa, wait just a tic. I said I'm *NOT* giving you my soul."
"Well, technically you get the power either way. It's just in this case I don't also get your soul. I guess you found the loophole."

--regarding a comment above about the dreamer and how using the tadpole is essentially an inherently "dumb" thing to do... the dreamer has been changed to the guardian, and there is dialogue now that goes into what's going on. It's not the same scenario as it was. This is no longer a mysterious dream persona who may or may not be the tadpole and who can't seem to give a straight answer.
There are so many massive conclusions people are jumping to. It makes me wish I had bought stake in that "jump to conclusions mat" I heard about years ago. Sales for that thing must be skyrocketing.

@Darth_Trethon, I almost don't want to say this because you're so enthusiastic about it, but you might want to consider that the illithid powers probably aren't "tailored" to each class. There are 25 unique illithid powers, and they are more than likely the same 25 powers regardless of which class you play. A rogue, for example, almost certainly has the same interface and choices as, say, a wizard.
