    Ooze! Go ooze! I've never seen an intelligent ooze villain. Not even an ooze with class levels. It's beyond me, and thus a great idea.

    You still are missing the "Don't Vote Up a Monster" stuff from your listing of previous threads.

    Just saw this. Of course I know who Juiblex is; he's freaking AWESOME is what he is, though he's barely intelligent. He's more like a pile of ooze that knows it wants to kill things, and goes and does it for teh lolz.

    What I want to see is an Ooze that is ACTUALLY intelligent in a manner that isn't dictated by an Awaken spell, and has goals, desires, and is a NPC that can be meaningfully interacted with. That's far more awesome that Juiblex will ever be.

    Ooze, if only becomes the concept of a sentient amoebiod powerful enough to shape some function of the world is a fascinating concept, and your villains are fascinating anyway.

    Afro, I'm afraid you are addicted. You must seek professional help...
    ...

    Much as I'm sick and tired of and hate everything about them, we've never had a dragon from these contests. Wondering if Afro can make one that appeals even to me.

    HOWEVER:

    Can an ooze be intelligent by RAW? There was some stuff about validity of villainy without actual intelligence in the villanous vermin thread and that issue is icky IMO.

    If it can, my vote goes to ooze (and not dragon) as well.

    Unlike vermin, an ooze can me intelligent and still have supernatural abilities per RAW.

    Hey. Do you want to help make a game?

    Due to real life issues, I have been gon without warning for a while. I seem to be back now until further notice.

    Thanks to Szilard for the Avatar!

    If I am ever wrong, feel free to correct me. Learning is awesomesauce.

    I like to edit my posts. A lot. As you may see, most of my posts will be edited, so if one is not, and you care about what I said, you may want to check it again a minute later.

    Yes.
