Contagion Slime (Alpha 0.1)
🕑 Added 2022-01-23 06:58:09 +0000 UTCFound within the sewer systems of the most sizable cities of the realm such Luné, a Contagion Slime is the result of a buildup of transformative magic becoming combined with excessive grime. While a Contagion Slime remains motionless and within a dormant state for the majority of its existence, it will erratically attempt to interact with any living creatures that come within close contact with it. Due to the transformative magics trapped within this Ooze, contact with a Contagion Slime can be quite dangerous, altering the form of a creature to become ooze-like. While reversing this process is manageable, this transformation comes with pros and cons. For the unsuspecting, this ooze-like form can be incredibly detrimental, but for the informed and prepared, some actually seek out and capture a Contagion Slime in order to utilize an ooze-like form to carry out heists or other criminal activity.
However, it should be known that while a creature transformed by a Contagion Slime retains their personality, memory, and class levels, and is not a Contagion Slime themselves, their ooze-like form is contagious, meaning that without care, it can be quickly spread between creatures.
Contagion Slimes vary greatly in appearance, with some appearing translucent and water-like, while other are opaque, coming in various shades. Regardless, a Contagion Slime's appearance is heavily dictated by its environment, gaining an appearance that helps it blend in and become hard to detect. While they are quite slow, for this reason they are often able to get the jump on unsuspecting adventurers who may be traveling within under-city tunnels.

Puddle Form: As a two-handed action, this creature can cause its form to melt, becoming indistinguishable from a puddle. While in this form, this creature's movement is reduced to 1, it can't take actions, and it adds an additional +5 to subtlety rolls made to hide or sneak. This effect lasts indefinitely until this creature ends it, which it can do at any time (on its turn or another creature's turn)
Contagious Form: Whenever a creature makes physical contact with this creature, it must roll 1d8, adding their resolve. If the total is less than 10, the target's form becomes gelatinous and ooze-like taking on qualities of the Slime that provided the effect.. While under this effect, your movement becomes 3, you gain immunity to poison damage and vulnerability to cold damage, you gain Freezing Susceptibility, Amorphous, Puddle Form, and Contagious Form. Additionally, though an affected creature still counts as their race, while in this ooze-like form, a creature cannot access racial abilities and traits. This effect can be removed via a ritual of purification.
