So I am considering an evil playthrough with a soulknife kit mod, which is basically a thief kit that allows the PC to summon a blade of energy using psychic powers. I was interested in doing this with the BG2 mod for the illithid NPC, Varshoon.

From a roleplay perspective, if anyone has used this mod, and please no real spoilers, but is there every any mention of potential psychic ability or high intelligence with the player character being "unique"?

On the one hand this seems like a great match from a roleplay perspective, but on the other hand, it is also maybe kind of weird if a somewhat psychic character met an illithid and they didn't seem to recognize this fact between them, or at least there was some kind of reference to the player character being unique or special?

Thanks, and I appreciate it as this is kind of a weird/niche question haha.
