CREDITS:

tempvee for Toggleable Zaith'isk Awakened Passive (Permission Granted). Thank you giving me permission to include the toggleable feature into my mod, as well as inspiring the idea to make all the other illithid passives toggleable as well.

-

UPDATE 2.1:

Tentacle Whip granted by the Fake Supreme Tadpole will no longer replace Unarmed Strike.

-

UPDATE 2.0:

Now compatible with Aetherpoint and Volitio's amazing AV Item Shipment Framework mod.

The tadpoles will spawn in the Item Shipment Framework Mailbox found inside the camp chest.

If you don't use or can't use Script Extender, the tadpoles will still spawn in the tutorial chest.

Mod renamed from Absolute Tadpole of Illithid Powers to Fake Tadpoles and has been assigned a new UUID.

The previous version and variants of this mod are no longer supported. The manual installation info for them will remain available below.

The stock file is no longer supported.

Since Version 2.0 has a different UUID from Version 1.X, anyone looking to update from 1.X to 2.0 can have both mods installed. This means it should be safe to update this mod mid-playthrough. Just remember to load Version 2.0 below Version 1.X.

If you do update this way, you need to consume the fake astral tadpole again to regain the Psionic Dominance passive.

Having both Version 1.X and 2.0 when updating shouldn't be necessary, but I wanted to provide a failsafe of sorts since people have had issues updating this mod before.

New Main File: Fake Astral Tadpole - get all illithid powers from the illithid powers skill tree without unlocking it.

New Main File: Fake Supreme Tadpole - get mind flayer powers without needing to be a mind flayer.

New Main File: Fake Tadpole Extras - makes the Awakened passive and Tadpole Elixir work with fake tadpole powers.

The tadpoles can now be infinitely consumed.

Jaheira and Halsin can consume the tadpoles. Maybe hirelings as well, but I haven't tested.

Recolored icons for the fake tadpoles.

Recolored icons for the fake tadpole powers. The Fake Tadpole Extras file will also apply recolors for Awakened and Survival Instinct's icons.

Stage Fright has been given an alternative icon that was available in the game files.

Fake tadpole passives are now all toggleable. Since the mod can't be uninstalled, turning off the passives is the closest thing to uninstalling it.

To avoid further cluttering the spellbook, using the Supreme Tadpole file will automatically upgrade any illithid powers that have mind flayer variants.

All but one fake tadpole powers are exact copies of their real counterparts. The exception is Levitate, which has had its cooldown removed. This was done because Levitate overwrites Fly, which overwrites Jump. It felt annoying waiting for the one turn cooldown outside of turn-based mode, so I removed it.

Because the fake tadpole powers are copies, it means they don't replace or affect the real tadpole powers.

Tentacle Whip and Extract Brain have been assigned different animations since their original animations are for mind flayers. Tentacle Whip has the Unarmed Strike animation, but a character with a melee weapon equipped will attack with that weapon. Extract Brain supposedly has the Vampire Bite animation. I say supposedly because it didn't look like biting when I was testing it.

The Fake Supreme Tadpole file can be used without the Fake Astral Tadpole file, but it'll only grant Tentacle Whip, Extract Brain, and illithid powers that have mind flayer variants. If you're updating mid-playthrough, however, you need the Fake Astral Tadpole file.
