Here's another take on becoming an "oozemaster":
I've recently worked out an Epic Prestige class and
posted it on this board. For those who don't want to read through it (and I'll admit that it
is rather lengthy), here is a quick summary:
Basically, people who take levels in the "Archetypical Being" prestige class choose one of several "archetype templates" (so far, there are "Ice Demon", "Nightstalker", "Tatzelwurm", and "Thunderbird"), and get so-called "metamorphosis feats" that they can pick out of a list specific to their archetype as they advance in level. These feats are usually epic feats, but not neccessarily.
These "metamorphosis feats" don't become active immediately - instead, they are triggered through one of nine successive "metamorphosis rituals" that members of thi prestige class can go through. Each ritual causes physical changes in the character (and his size increases by one category after every third ritual), and make him look more and more like the archetype in question. So someone who chooses "Thunderbird" gradually looks like a giant bird, while a "Tatzelwurm" changes to become a many-legged serpent.
Can you see where I am going with this?
Well, with the general guidelines in the prestige class, and all the feats in this thread, it would be easy to create an archetype template called "The Slime" or "The Blob", or something like that. And yes, that means that you do no longer have to be content with controlling gargantuan slimes - you can
become one!
What do you think?
