      I think it would be better just to have like a set of level 3 spells with different costs associated with them in order to create each of the different oozes. The cost could grow proportionally with the CR of the ooze you make. You could then have these spells fall into all 3 of: Transmutation, Conjuration and Necromancy in order that learning those spells is half-price for whichever school you choose.

    Something you could add to the various oozes is a self cleaning instinct. Those that actually move could push themselves through cracks as a way of cleaning themselves of undigested material. This could leave random piles of bones and treasure lying about next to walls. Players might force or trick the ooze somehow into going through a crack to make it shed its treasure.

    The the gelatinous cube, I have grate fences they can slither through and all the stuff caught within them stays behind. That way, the floating items within don't give away their position to more keen adventurers. Also, it's a good way to foreshadow if the scoured clean walls were missed.

Thanks for having them as a sponsor and making me curious about them. Also I cannot wait till Stibble's arrives, I'm very excited about it. Take it easy dude and keep up the good work.

    Two ideas to run with oozes.
    #1.
    An Adult Oblex travels by carrying itself with a Bag of Holding. The imitation body helps disguise itself by using strong perfumes.
    #2.
    Have an ice themed dungeon that requires pcs to shift large ice blocks to progress further in. Once the final prize is taken, all the ice melts, leaving a dungeon of oozes ands slimes to trek back through to the exit.

    I really like the idea of an Ooblex. I cool scenario would be your party stumbling across a ramshackle town were everyone seems normal but just slightly.....off. After some exploring and investigation by the couple actual humans there it turns out the town is actually just one giant Ooblex and their myriad of clones.

  • @chrishubbard64
    @chrishubbard64 4 роки тому +1

    So I read the light novels to Overlord, and one of the characters in that fits into this heading. She is whats known as a predatory slime. Much like the ooblex, she can shapeshift, but she has some interesting abilities as well. Inside of her is basically like a bag of holding... full of acid that she can precisely control. She looks like a normal human (very attractive) woman, but can not only absorb a full grown man entirely, leaving no sign he is inside her, but also carry tons of equipment from magic gear to scrolls that she can choose NOT to melt. She can also choose how fast or slow she wants to melt her prey, transform her body into simple tools like the t-1000, and take class levels as well. And the cherry on top? Pretty much immune to melee combat as any weapon you swipe through her will start dissolving and its about as effective as slashing a lake, and if you physically touch her, i hope you enjoy being consumed and dissolved.
    I kinda want to see a monster like this statted out. The ability to add class levels means you could easily alter how it hunts as well as boost its level for varying encounter challenge ratings. Imagine if at high levels you find yourself being stalked through an underground lair by one of these with high rogue levels? I hope your party rogue has some seriously boosted spot checks. Or a spellcaster predatory slime casting hold person on you then approaching you with a sadistic smile. And since its fully human intelligent it can have all sorts of clever strategies instead of just oozing in your general direction or hoping you step into its pool.

    One time I made a puzzle where my players had to move ice blocks around in order to make a stair case, but once it was conplete the final one was replaced with a gelatinous cube, so once they made it up one of them almost died from falling in, but on his perception check he did so bad, that he couldn’t see the “ice block” so he stopped because he thought he would fall, and managed to miss the trap from it. That was a funny moment

  • @okami6399

    I didn’t know about Oblex’s but they’re a really interesting creature. I like the idea of one being located beneath a location and sending a tentacle through any number of tunnels or pipes and reforming into a clone at the other end. So they’re able to be anywhere at a moment’s notice. Maybe that would make for a cool twist boss as part of a campaign, you think this mysterious person who keeps showing up at weird locations of this castle is a ghost or magic or something only to discover that no, they’re just a hongry slime.

      They all do. Most are vulnerable to crushing attacks from wood or stone weapons, slings are king because players can reliably kite them. They also tend to be weak to lighning or sonic blasts but can be immune to acid, poison, or even fire or ice depending on the matter type: Gray oozes are magic rock, no fire for you.

    In my starfinder campaign I had the players fight a homebrew ooze. Well the party went to get their ship and left one person to guard the crates on the lift as it was moving. Well he noticed a black ooze plastered against the back wall digesting a monster. It wasn't melting the monster, but more like mummifying the monster quickly in front of him. So he decides it's a good idea to touch it while it's eating. So it latches onto his arm. After a few bad rolls on his part and a few good rolls on my part, a few really good rolls on his parties part, and a few more stupid actions from everyone; he now has to wear a prosthetic for his left arm.

  • @legendnetwork9153
    @legendnetwork9153 4 роки тому

    A cool adventure idea centring around oblex is that far away from civilisation the PCs discover a colony of oblex lead by a few older ones. These oblex haven’t ever seen the world and use the memories of the far out nomads and barbarians to survive. Then they eat an NPC or a PC and learn that there are cities and large groups of people to eat resulting in a mass migration of oblex who try to consume all of civilisation.

    Imagine going underground and just stumbling across a town full of seemingly ordinary people. They seem nice enough, but for some reason the ground is covered in nasty smelling red gunk. You can't pick up your foot without pulling a little slime trail up off the ground. Eventually one of the townies convines you stock up on supplies to rest there.
    Then you wake in horror, hogtied in the center of town as the "villagers" prepare to "introduce you to the mayor". Your gear is being taken back to the store where you resupplied, and the slime starts to engulf you. Your form will serve to entice more adventurers to fall into this same trap, and your memories will feed the grandfather oblex.
