An angry Slime Lamia.
Slime Template:
The Slime Template: can be add to any non-Ooze:
Size and type: Size remain unchanged, type change to Ooze with the Centralized subtype (see spoiler:)
Ooze (Centralized):
Unlike normal Oozes, the magic maintaining the Centralized Ooze identity and personality gives it a somewhat more discernible anatomy. In particular, a core of magical power runs through the creature, functioning similarly to the nervous and circulatory systems of normal creatures. This is necessary to allow the Centralized Ooze to function, but comes at the cost of many of the features of a usual Ooze creature. It also provides the Centralized Ooze with limbs and something resembling a face, which is at the front of their Core.
- Limbs: Unlike normal Oozes, Centralized Oozes have limbs. Though the particular shape of an Centralized Ooze may vary dramatically, the general idea would be a central portion, perhaps roughly spherical, with a blob serving as a sort of head, with the limbs sprouting directly from this Core. This can allows them to wield weapons and wear armor if their shape allow it.
- Intelligence: Unlike normal Oozes, Centralized Oozes are not Mindless, and are therefore susceptible to Mind-Affecting effects.
- Sensory Perception: Unlike normal Oozes, Centralized Oozes do not have Blindsight. Instead, they gain normal sense of sight, hearing and touch.
- Immunities: Unlike normal Oozes, Centralized Oozes are not immune to Paralysis or Stunning effects. They are immune to Poison, Sleep, and Polymorph, like most Oozes, and additionally immune to non-magical Disease, Nausea, Fatigue, Exhaustion, and effects that cause the Sickened condition. Magical or supernatural sources of these effects may affect them as usual.
- Critical Hits: Unlike normal Oozes, Centralized Oozes are susceptible to critical hits and flanking. They do have a discernable (if exotic and somewhat simple) anatomy, which is roughly humanoid in form, and those skilled or lucky enough to hit a weak spot can do additional damage.
Anyone used to picking out opponents' weak points will recognize the Centralized Ooze's 'face' and Core for what they are, and can attack them. Branches of "Core material" are also found inside of the creature's limbs, which means effects like attempts to, for example, hamstring the Centralized Ooze can achieve the normal effect (although what actually happens internally is quite a bit different, since it is more of a disruption to the Spell's ability to control its limbs, rather than physical damage to the body part).
- Eating, Drinking, Sleeping, and Breathing: Like most Oozes, Centralized Oozes do not need to sleep (though general rest is necessary to regain spells and similar abilities), they do not need to breath either but they need to eat and drink as normal.
Hit Dice: All racial Hit dice (including those gain after the application of this template) become d10
Speed: The base creature land speed is reduces by 10ft to a minimum of 10ft
Base Attack Bonus: Bab change to 3/4 racial Hit dice
Special abilities: A Slime retains all the base creature special abilities and gain Acid production.
Special qualities: A Slime lose all the trait from its previous type but otherwise keep all the base creature special qualities and gain Slight Build and Flexible body.
Base save Bonus: All saving throw from racial hit dice become poor
Skills: 2+Int per hit dice (x4 for the first)
Challenge Rating: +1
Level adjustement: +1
Acid production(Ex): Three time per day as a standard action a Slime can generate Acid, she can either spit it at target, treat it as a range touch attack with a range increament of 10ft dealing 1d6 point of acid damage or she can put in a vial and use it as an Acid flask.
Slight Build(Ex): The physical stature of a Slime lets them function in many ways as if they were one size category smaller. Whenever a slime is subject to a size modifier or special size modifier for an opposed check (such as Hide), the Slime is treated as one size smaller if doing so is advantageous to the character. A Slime is also considered to be one size smaller when "squeezing" through a restrictive space. A Slime can use weapons designed for a creature one size smaller without penalty. However, the space and reach of a Slime remain those of a creature of their actual size. The benefits of this racial trait stack with the effects of powers, abilities, and spells that change the subject's size category.
Flexible Body(Ex): A Slime body being made mostly of a gelatinous material confer some advantage. A Slime can ignore up to two dice of damage when taking falling damage. A Slime also gain a +4 bonus on grapple check.
*Note on cosmetic change: A Silme creature is now completely composed of a dense gelatinous material. It can be of any color but always at least a little transparent.
