-Cloak of Goo-

[TheLe]

Here's another baby I wrote for 17 Magic Cloaks. I still need to clean it up, but you get the idea.


Cloak of Goo
This Cloak feels very sticky to the touch, but does not hinder the wearer in anyway. As a full round action, the wearer may transform part of this Cloak into a goo like substance, which causes it fall to the ground. Once on the ground, the goo will begin to grow and the wearer can direct it to form a wall (or bridge). Once it forms into a wall, it hardens and becomes solid – it may have a maximum size of 1 inch thickness, 10 feet of width, and 30 feet of length. As a bridge it can hold up to 2,000 lbs of total weight at one time. Each 5-foot square has 10 hit points per inch of thickness and hardness 5. A section of the wall whose hit points drop to 0 is breached. If a creature tries to break through the wall, the DC for the Strength check is 15 + 2 per inch of thickness.

Spells, powers, and breath weapons cannot pass through the wall in either direction (though they could damage it). It blocks ethereal creatures as well as material creatures (though ethereal creatures can usually get around the wall by floating under or over it through material floors and ceilings). The wall is opaque, so neither vision nor gaze attacks operate through it, but the Cloak’s wearer will be able to see through it as if it were not there (but he cannot cast spells through it or use gaze attacks through it).

The wall is continuous and unbroken when first formed.

After 1 day the Cloak will regenerate itself and grow back to it’s original form, and the previously made wall will turn into goo and evaporate.

The wall cannot be formed through living being – if a living creature is in the way, it will simply form around it and not trap the creature in any way. This will cause a hole to appear in the wall where the creature was located.

I was hoping for a cloak that turned you into an ooze like a cloak of the manta-ray or bat.

This looks fun. Question, does it reform on you or where the wall was? If it reforms on you, is there some part of the cloak that does not change into the goo?

I like your idea.
You have a maximum width and length but no maximum height.

The wall cannot be formed through living being – if a living creature is in the way, it will simply form around it and not trap the creature in any way. This will cause a hole to appear in the wall where the creature was located.

The wearer of the cloak is in a tunnel. He forms the wall around a halfling without any weapon and the wall reaches the cieling. Can air diffuse the wall? Because if air can not diffuse, the halfling dies after some time because of lack of air.

Does to form around mean the goo is like a second skin of the trapped. If the goo is a second skin the trapped person can not easily attack the goo or take any actions against the wall.
I would write: The goo forms around a living creature but it can not enter a square in which a living creature stands.

As a full round action you can transform PART of the cloak.

I will have to edit it to something like "the lower half of the cloak" to be more concise.

The cloak has a max width, max height, and a thickness of 1 inch. It has to be a continuous wall, and cannot wrap it self around anything (I will put that in my description).

It CAN form in the same square as the person, but being 1 inch thick the effect will be like flopping down on snowy ground making a snow angel.

yes, you can form a wall to cut off the oxygen. because in goo form, its edges forms around the nooks and crannies.

But I do see your point as to how this can be abused.

I will put in:
GM's option: Although the wall is solid in every respect, it is also porous. Air can freely travel through the wall, but the wall itself will act as a filter and keep out hazerdous toxins, such as smoke and poisons.
