[QUOTE="doctorbadwolf, post: 8421645, member: 6704184"] Huh. Interesting. Yeah I don’t expect everyone to share my POV on aberrations, for sure. I also just especially hate the idea of trying to make illithids redeemable, because they propagate by violating a victim and removing thier volition and transforming their body into a new thing, which is worse than nearly anything else in the game, IMO. I guess I’d be fine with the option as long as it is gated behind multiple levels of “optional content”, because a big thing for me is that aberrations are only worth (for me) having in the game if they actually fill their role, which to me seems to be “alien being from beyond reality that cannot be understood be any creature from within reality. But that may also be partly because I don’t find any aberrations to be independently interesting, so I need that general dynamic to be there to even see any reason to not just take aberrations out of the game altogether. In my own system, the First Gods existed before and outside of the universe, weren’t part of the “First Word” that caused the chain reaction that started the “big bang”, and most of them resent the entirety of creation for existing, and despise it for being (relatively) rational.
