From /all as a Linux user, I was very confused wtf you were asking.
Still confused, but I have context now at least.
Same, I was thinking "gnome isn't THAT hard to use, maybe they're having config issues?" then I read the community it was asked in.
No, its the same character model as a normal Mind Flayer. At least it was a few months ago when I did it but I doubt they've changed it since then
Aww, that's a missed opportunity! Those would've been adorable!
In D&D Faerun canon? I’m not sure.
In BG3, I’d wager that they all use the same illithid model.
I seem to recall in Act 3 after a certain point:
Tap for spoiler
Seeing random citizens all getting transformed after having all the macguffins when I fast travelled. Gnomes and dwarves both got the tall illithid model.
I don't know, but this is a very Lopen thing to ask lol
Shame that Baldur's Gate 3 doesn't have any one-armed Herdazian jokes
Can I even make a one-armed character? That really would be something
Yes but also no. Ceremorphosis only truly succeeds on certain kinds of species, generally only those of the human sized variety and a few kinds of monster. Gnomes can be technically transformed but only through heavy magic manipulation and there is still a chance of failure. All others just die along with the tadpole
Example here:
Yes! This is exactly what I want!
Baldur’s Gate 3 is a story-rich, party-based RPG set in the universe of Dungeons & Dragons, where your choices shape a tale of fellowship and betrayal, survival and sacrifice, and the lure of absolute power. (Website)
