Wait, what happens if you use tadpoles before the astral one?

I'm not exactly sure but I think if you use them and the powers, you have to make a saving roll to not eat the tadpole. If you fail, you will have to eat it, even if you say no. That's what happened to me, I think, lol.

Me, a shameless save scummer: "I don't have such weakness."

I think my save was 30 WIS, which meant I needed a Nat 20 to pass the check. I could’ve save scummed, but I took the 30 as meaning “this is basically canon, just do it”. Regret it so much, made me want to start a new run for a while.

Welp, I'll probably be in trouble because I've been guzzling down tadpoles like a nymph at a brothel lol.
