Yellow slaadi are chaotic exemplars from the plane of Limbo, said to be little more than whisps of anarchic energy given form and mind. While they can reproduce via disease like a blue slaad, most are simply extruded from Limbo itself. They have no real motives, instead simply wandering around, spreading slaadpox and reproducing. Yellow slaadi are basically frog-like in shape, though, being slaadi, the number of eyes, limbs, and digits they have is highly variable from slaad to slaad. A summon monster II spell can be used to summon a yellow slaad. A chaotic character with a arcane caster level 7th or higher with the Improved Familiar feat may summon a yellow slaad to serve as his familiar.

Dazing Croak (Su)
Once per day, a yellow slaad may emit a high-pitched croak. All creatures within 20 ft. of it, except other slaadi, must make a DC 13 Will save or be dazed for 1 round. The save is Con based.

Slaadpox (Su)
Supernatural disease–bite, Fortitude DC 13, incubation period 1 day, damage 1d3 Cha. The save is Con based. An afflicted humanoid reduced to Charisma 0 by slaadpox dissolves into pure chaotic energy, dying. 1d4 yellow slaadi are created as a byproduct of his dissolution, which soon hop away.

Summon Slaad (Sp)
Once per day, a yellow slaad may attempt to summon another yellow slaad with a 20% chance of success. This ability is the equivalent of a 1st level spell.

Skills
A yellow slaad has a +8 racial bonus on Jump checks.

Unfortunately, Slaadi aren't OGC, so I can't. Sorry.

Darn it... D1, where'd you get the title for this thread? KNOW I've seen that somewhere before, but I cannot for my life remember where.

hate to be a sticler, the monster looks good, but actually, Turqoise bycycle shoe fins actualize radishes greenly (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0068.html)

have you ever considered posting a monster with major errors in the math, and seeing how many people actually read your entries befor voting?

Couldn't fit it all in the title bar.

First off, I don't think too many people check anyone math before voting. Secondly, while that would be interesting, my obsessive-compulsive side wouldn't let me make a deliberately bad monster.

Colorless green ideas sleep furiously

Wikipedia that, and you'll have a slightly better understanding of where the title comes from.

Hmm. You could scrub it down to OGC, call them Yellow Chaos Toads or something. Kind of like how all the character name spells got scrubbed before going into the SRD.

Actually, this could be an interesting thing to do, as an exercise... 'Spot the ten problems with this creature.' :D

I believe you created this to go with those summoner feats that you made a while back, correct? You needed a CR 2 chaotic outsider, and the best you could find was an anarchic toad.


And if anyone thinks I threadomancied this, look at the OP date. [/paranoid fear of being yelled at by people]

Hey, you're right! You earn a cookie.
