    Next story: due to his interest in the forbidden arcane, he becomes an Alhoon.

    Fascinating! This is great storytelling! I love the Illithids!
    Do you have any plans of covering the Aboleths in a similar masterpiece?

      Aboleths and Illithids (and Flumphs) are probably my favourite species in D&D! They have so much fascinating lore!

    When my character first saw a Mind Flayer he realized just how fxxked the party was thankfully it just walked away my character is a aberrant mind sorcerer so he knows full well just how deadly a Mind Flayer can be this happened in my current campaign Dragon Heist we was only level 1 when we saw a Mind Flayer for the first time

    • @leyrua

      I've seen some interesting campaigns start this way, where the party meets the creature that will be the big bad early on in the story, escape him, and now they have an idea of the max level that the campaign is intended to reach.

    • @leyrua

      I also like the idea of an aberrant mind sorcerer or an old one patron warlock meeting a mindflayer and being the voice that tells the party not to fight, just run!

    Oh...I thought you just died. Not actually become one of them. Cool. I wouldn't really be gone.

    • @leyrua
      @leyrua ปีที่แล้ว +6

      I'm pretty sure the original is dead. This is just the baby mindflayer first "learning to walk" with nothing but the residual host memories that he ate as a tadpole to go off of.
      The moment he began connecting to the other members of his colony (accessing their communal memories), he began to cease feeling that something was out of place.
      However, the idea that this "first meal" (their host) is formulative to their personality and interests is quite interesting... it has a lot of potential for storytelling.
      Some incredibly evil and ambitious Drow is captured by mindflayers, and a few decades later a wildly ambitious mindflayer begins causing chaos in the underdark. The Drow then realize that exiling their former queen might have had some disastrous consequences down the line... she's causing them trouble even after her death.

      The soul passes on to whatever afterlife suits it, so yes, you're gone. The new illithid has all your memories, though

    I went full alien invader with the mindy boys of my campaign, flying down from the stars with advanced weapons during a scramble among differencing aberrant factions to colonize this world
    funnily enough, they ended up helping the primitives as quite a number of the world's denizens would gladly and willingly join their collective over, say, getting exterminated by mi-go or eaten by grell.
