A Red Slaad's implanted eggs can work in any creature, creating a Blue Slaad that busts out H.R. Geiger-style.
However, the Blue Slaad's disease ability seems a bit more selective in what it will transform. But exactly how selective is it?
Slaad Fever (Su): Supernatural disease—bite, Fortitude DC 18, incubation period 1 day, damage 1d3 Dex and 1d3 Cha. The save DC is Constitution-based.
An afflicted humanoid reduced to Charisma 0 by slaad fever immediately transforms into a red slaad. It retains none of the features, traits, memories, or abilities of its former self, and is a normal red slaad in all respects.
If the infected being is an arcane spellcaster, the disease instead produces a green slaad.
So, if I'm reading this correctly, a Blue Slaad's diseased bite has three possible outcomes (aside from surviving and fighting off the disease):
1) The victim is a humanoid; when his Charisma reaches 0, he becomes a Blue Slaad.
2) The victim is an arcane spellcaster of any creature type that isn't immune to disease, be it humanoid, fey, outsider, whatever; when his Charisma reaches 0 (I'm inferring that, as the wording is vague), he turns into a Green Slaad.
3) The victim is a non-humanoid non-arcane spellcaster; his Charisma goes to 0 and he sits there in a coma until he fights it off, or he is healed.
Is that correct? A Blue can only make more Red's via Humanoids, but can make Greens from ANY arcane spellcaster, regardless of type?
