From what gameplay we have seen, to use the Mindflayer Tadpole in your head to 'convince' people to do certain things or think certain thoughts is a Wisdom check. Does anyone have any ideas why and how will this affect those classes that use Wisdom for saves, proficiencies, skills or spellcasting (like a Cleric)?

Were all tadpoles check wisdom based?

From what I have seen those were relatively easy checks to pass, that allowed players to get something for what as of now is an unknown price. I doubt it will have effect on other systems, nor that it boost wisdom rolls.

I got the impression that it's pretty much a guaranteed success when utilizing the tadpole, and I'm assuming that the trade-off will be a hastening to its growth and a potential decline to your condition.


I don't want to fall to bits 'cos of excess existential thought.

All options to influence people are charisma-related so mechanically I assume they want to make an option for an uncharismatic party to talk their way out of trouble.
