When APA format requires a running head at the top of the first page the following instructions will work. These instructions assume you are adding the running head to a completed paper (or one that has at least 2 existing pages).
In a custom campaign I and another patry member have been reduced and the enemy has introduced a tadpole to our head. These tadpoles are connected to the boss mindflayer and little by little they will kill us. Any idea how to get these things out of our heads?
According to our DM if we kill the boss mindflayer these "little ones" will be defenseless and we could even expel them (I guess with some spells or will saves). But I would like to explore other options.
Of course, these "little ones" do not allow me or my partner to do any kind of harm to them or let others do it to them.
You could try disrupting the communication between the tadpole and the illithid in some way. If there's no communication, the thing should act as if its parent is dead. Block the signal with a lead helmet or plane hopping. You could even try sticking your head in a bag of holding to see if that worked.
Become braindead. Normal anti-worm treatments work by removing the nutrient source, like sugars or what have you. Since these things are feeding on your brain, you may be able to get rid of them by switching your brain off. Go into a coma or something. The drug adyton could be useful here as it moves the conciousness elsewhere.
One solution might be for a fellow party member to kill you and then have you brought back via a Reincarnate spell. Since you come back in a new body, the tadpole is left with your old body and can be destroyed along with it.
One other thought. If you can cast spells it'd be hard to argue that you don't have line of effect to the tadpole and mind-affecting spells might be the answer (assuming it's an aberration and not vermin or something else mind-affecting immune). Or magic jar; not many people have seen the inside of their own skull and lived to tell the tale, and it can affect creatures immune to mind-affecting spells.
I'd be great to do that, but unfortunately in this custom campaign diamonds are almost gone in the entire world... So wr cant afford to buy one...

Tell it bad puns until it runs away or eats its own tail, whichever comes first. It would be great but right now we don't count with any doctor/surgeon to make the operation and the time is runnin gout very fast(3-4 days before the tadpole kills us) sooo, the best idea is make a party member whom is not infected to do it, but we can't let anyone hurt this tadpole (because it is suggesting our minds...) so they have to come to this plan by themselves... orrrrr kill the mindflayer boss.Also one important think to comment is that we already had entered the boss main facilities (underground) so i think unless the party forces us to drink INT afecting poison it'll be hard to comfront, or else kill the mindflayer.
In all seriousness... have a fellow PC cast Boiling Blood on you. Presumably, as AVR supposes above, it survives on your blood so this spell will affect the tadpole. You voluntarily fail your save, start taking 1 point of Fire damage per round until you outlast the brain parasite and it boils to death. You gotta love a game where you voluntarily boil the blood running through your brain to kill a parasite and it will do NO permanent damage to you by RAW.
Also if this is a "custom campaign" are there any in-setting solutions that wouldn't involve RAW? I mean, we could suggest things serious or silly all day but if they have no chance of success in this homebrew then our efforts would be for naught.
I understand that this is just the GM trying to provide an in-universe explanation as to why they don't allow Raise Dead and similar spells, but those spells are ironically still linked to the monetary value of the diamonds, not the diamond itself. So if a 0.1 carat diamond is now sold at 5,000 gp thanks to the limited supply, that would be enough to cast raise dead even though the same diamond only cost 100 gp some millennia ago. If you have access to Summon Monster V then you can summon a Remacera to Reincarnate you without the material component. That would require throwing a prayer to one of the Eldest, but surviving is probably worth becoming a follower.
Between a Healer's Kit/Surgeon's Tools, Signature Skill, Healer's Hands, and Incredible Healer... they could reasonably treat everything in the game possible that doesn't absolutely require magic (such as regrowing lost limbs, but they would be able to reattach a severed limb so long as it is intact and present).
Remove Disease seems an obvious starting point as that kills some parasites. Assuming that doesn't work then cast Delay Poison, which only affects one person, so the parasite should not benefit (point this out to the GM if necessary). Then consume many doses of poison to kill the parasite. Finally cast neutralise poison so you're not killed as well.
Canonically, you have one hour from implantation to the point of no return. During this time a Remove Disease might work, and Heal definitely should, and you would likely require some Restoration to make up for the brain damage.
Failing this, kill yourselves ASAP, get the tadpole out, cast Gentle Repose as many time as necessary while you find a Paladin with Ultimate Mercy for Raise Dead for no diamond cost. Alternatively, kill yourselves, be Reincarnated.
Or you can just go full undead. No living brain = no food for a hungry tadpole.
You get free Tentacles and Mind Blasts, can Extract Brains... you can still become a Lich (always awesome). The part where you lose your personality and become an NPC :) AUC.register('auc_MessageboardPostRowDisplay'); AjaxBusy.register('masked', 'busy', 'auc_MessageboardPostRowDisplay', null, null) Neriathale Sep 29, 2020, 11:16 am 4 people marked this as a favorite. Find a highly skilled lawyer (Asmodeus if you can afford him), have them argue the case that since Ilithids are WotC intellectual property they cannot possibly exist in a Pathfiner universe.
Just read the Forgotten Realms wiji article on Mind Flayers. Apparently the safest method of removing the tadpole is to crush the skull and then cast resurrection followed by restoration or heal to restore the personality that had already been eaten.
Not to throw a monkey wrench into everyone's ideas; but I think it was implied that the tadpole is already in enough control that it won't allow the infested character's to take any actions to remove it, or at the very least that they can't take or allow any actions to harm it. I admit I'm not super familiar with this subject matter, but doesn't that put the kaibosh on most of these "destroy your head" type plans? If the character's still have any agency in their attempts/desires to see these buggers removed, I'd guess you'd need to look into some form of phasing or plane shifting. Something that allows only the character or the tadpole to change density/locations, but not both. Or maybe illicit some type of a polymorph effect that transforms the hosts into a base enough creature that they don't have a brain (i.e. a jellyfish). Character walks into a pool, gets transformed, tadpole is left outside the brainless now much smaller bio-mass, both are swimming separate and safe, then character gets scooped out and transformed back.
While the tadpoles won't let the affected characters do anything to directly harm the worms or perhaps their implanter, we have no idea if in-game the other characters even know their comrades are afflicted, nor do we know what kind of indirect actions these PCs can take against the mindflayer.
Perhaps the answer is as simple as it is difficult. I know the OP said they want other solutions but they may have to just bite the bullet and slay the mindflayer. If that's the case, they've already been to the creature's lair supposedly, so they may have the power level to pull this option off.
As you say, my character is conscient of the tadpole but as my DM says "if anyone do anything against the tadpole you will defend it as it were you". so by my own i can't do much... and actually we're in the mindflayer's facilities so our resources are pretty limited... We are a 5-6 lvl party (arcanist(me), paladin, barbarian, monk, fighter and the last i dont remember...)I like your plan to polymorph into a jellyfich and became a separate entity from the tadpole. As i just lvld up to 6 i can learn some 3lvl spells this could come very well to make the polymorph.

He says i'd facilitate the expulsion of the tadpole, but not kill it instantly.
To add to the pile of more wacky suggestions, teleport. Just, just teleport. Choose the option that lets you teleport just by yourself, with no tadpole. The end. (obviously that solution does not work, if you are treating the tadpole as if it were yourself. Also well out of your spell-level range. Hence, falling under the wacky suggestions umbrella. :D)

Hold up. You're 6th level? The party is 6th level? And you're up against a MINDFLAYER?!?Yeah. Ok, new plan. Get a druid, at least 5th level. Kill all of the infected players, reincarnate them. While there is a huge chance that you'll reincarnate as a different race, you won't come back with a tadpole in your head as it is an entirely new body.
