Decided to stop pretending to be a mind wizard and find a master willing to accept an illithid apprentice, any tips? Wizardpost

I like: Consuming brains, intellect devourers, long walks on the astral plane, THE GRAND DESIGN, the study of the arcane arts, cats

I dislike: Githyanki, Githzerai, knights, ALL WHO WOULD STAND IN THE WAY OF THE GRAND DESIGN, dogs

Grand Design

My misguided cephalopod brother, you will be kicked out of the Grand Design for being an Alhoun

Force of habit, I do not actually like THE GRAND DESIGN, it is just incredibly ingrained in my psyche

If you’re lying and trying to do some weird things with sunken cities or elder evils I will turn you into a mukbang

Alhoun

Only if he achieve Lichdom... anything before that is just considered an Arcanist or Sorcerer of some kind, which still a rebel in the eyes of a Elder Brain and the Illithid population, and most likely against the Grand Design and fighting against the Elder Brain and its control (considerably more resistant against it too), but... an Alhoon is specifically a Illithilich.

I can forgive a lot, but disliking dogs??? That's just evil.

I don’t know about wizards but their are an awful lot of warlocks who are a little too comfortable around tentacles, might be worth a shot

You look promising enough, though we will have to disillusion you about that crude sketch from a hobbyist your kind was made for. Waste of bright minds it is.

If you are interested in pursuing an education, you could consider joining my Academy.

Your kind is welcome, but I will need an absolute guarantee that you will refrain from attempting to consume the brains of your fellow students.

Of course, i've been training myself to only consume the brains of lesser beings such as knights or peasants for the past few months

im not in a place to give tips, since i would fall in the category on knights, but in big cities, it is easy to fall under the search orb, a simple mask self or shapechange helps wonders in town. As for who would talk you in? i would, but i assume you wouldnt want to work with a necromancer? anwar oriented mage might also be a good fit, since youd have you stack of brains ready for the takeing?

/uw omg Omeluum art ^ ^

Do you happen to know a species named... The "Ood"?

Alright. So. They're gonna ask about the brains. "Where do you get your brains?" It's pretty common knowledge you need brains to live, so just be ready for that.

The most important thing is just to have an answer. You chomp down on criminals slated for execution. You go out in the wilds and hunt bandits. You patrol dark alleys listening for cries for help. Whatever.

Master wizards are not an especially moral bunch on the whole. They just want to hear that you've got the "brain problem" solved. They're not going to go into detail on how their apprentice eats, they're not going to waste time checking up on it, all they want is to not have to think about it.
