I will say I'm suprised if someline like Lae'zel with her feelings about mindflayers stays with you if you keep absorbing tadpoles.
Lae'zel's reasoning is somewhat explained with the Zaithisk. Githyanki adapt ghaik strengths to work against them.

I think a messed up face is a pretty big consequence for using the tadpoles. But I still get what people mean when they say they're looking for a consequence.
--the thing is, why should there be a consequence? You already know you're being protected from fully transitioning into a mindflayer. Why should you not utilize power that's being handed to you, especially if you're using the power to literally save yourself?
--so what kind of consequence are you looking for? Do you want the tadpole user to be punished? How so? I mean specifically, what should the punishment be? This is a sincere question.
--or do you just want a reward for not taking advantage of power in the game? If so, I think that's fair. What kind of reward do you want, though? An achievement? A special item?
