THIS MOD IS UNSAFE TO UNINSTALL.

1.2 UPDATE:
- If you're in the middle of a playthrough, UPDATE AT YOUR OWN RISK. Personally, I've had no issues updating from 1.0/1.1 to 1.2, but if you want to be safe, don't update this mod in the middle of a playthrough.
- I've discovered that the Update Fix file is not necessary. You NEED to delete Version 1.0/1.1 from your Mods folder. I do it through BG3 Mod Manager. You must tick the Permanent box along with the Remove from Load Order box. After that, export the load order to the game and install Version 1.2, and then export load order again.
- If you've done all the steps above and still crash at 60%, let me know and I'll upload the fixes again.
- Added a new version that removes the rest cooldowns from class action illithid powers. Passives still have their rest their rest cooldowns.
- Applied the Freecast fix that was implemented in Patch 1. This only matters to the main file. The 1.1 Free file already had it thanks to happykero.
- I told happykero that he could post his version of this mod on his own page and under his name, so I won't be maintaining his version anymore.
-
- To reduce clutter, the Absolute Tadpoles have been removed from the vendors.
- The Absolute Tadpoles are available in the tutorial chest, but it's now a separate file. Download the main file Absolute Tadpole Stock. It adds a tadpole jar to the tutorial chest that contains 4 Absolute Tadpoles. This works with any variation of Absolute Tadpole of Illithid Powers.
- You'll need wesslen's Tutorial Chest Summoning mod to access the tutorial chest if you're already past the nautiloid ship.
- Remember to let the container expire inside the tutorial chest so AbsoluteTadpoleOfIllithidPowersStock.pak can be safely uninstalled.
- If you want a separate file that adds the Surface Changer items back to the vendors, let me know in the comments.
-
1.1 UPDATE:
- Luck of the Far Realms should now work. Thank you, loujinhu and Reissmond for letting me kow it wasn't working :)
- Cull the Weak now requires an enemy to be brought to 15% health or lower as opposed to having a number of illithid powers unlocked. Thank you, Reissmond, for the feedback on Cull the Weak :)
- Free Version: all skills should now have no cooldown and no cost, including Displacer Beast Form abilities. Thank you, happykero, for sharing how to remove the cooldown on Freecast!
-
DETAILS:
- You don't need to have the illithid power skill tree unlocked prior to using this mod. You can have illithid powers as early as the nautiloid ship, after you loot the tadpole from the tutorial chest.
- You won't be flagged as having consumed a tadpole as long as you haven't unlocked the illithid powers skill tree.
- Jaheira and Halsin can consume the Absolute Tadpole to gain illithid powers.
