Helpless Gelatinous Cube?

[Sorrowdusk]

I think when the FAQ says "giving an ooze that option," it's referring to the tactical application of going prone for AC against ranged attacks. While a snake is a low int animal, animals are capable of instinctive "tactics" like that. The ooze is completely mindless, on the other hand.

Mind you, I think the sage's entire argument of them going prone and getting back up as free actions and actually getting any bonus/penalty out of it is on its face absurd and wrong.

And yet...he's 'The Sage', you were supposed to be able to trust The Sage. But yeah, I dunno about it either.

Ah well, either way, anyone can rule as you wish but that at least seems to be the most official response.

Assuming the FAQ or the Sage to be in any way shape or form to be "official" is a bad idea...

Seriously, just give those sources no credence when deciding, you're better off that way.

If a sorcerer casts grease on the 10x10 square that a gelatinous cube occupies and it fails its Reflex save, does it fall?

Is it plausible to say that amorphous monsters are immune to falling prone?

if you flip a cube (after putting dots on its sides 1-6 lol) onto another side, does it still move?

How high of a barrier is needed to contain one.

how long will they live if contained and only get fed after the owner has and argument (that he wins)



not sure where i lost 90k
How long do they live?
how long do they live without food?
(being fed just bad thieves etc...)]
does that help?

reminded me... look for new post

just re read the ecology of... and then the new MM.. 3.5 idiots... they made cubes 15' by 15' by 15' ??? why???

I still like the 10' by 10' by 10' except when two meet up and combine to form one creature 10' by 10' by 20' for a time then seperate, within a random time. its not sex, they are asexual. after feeding for an unobserved amount of time, a cube will split into two 8' by 8' by 8' cubes that quickly grow to full size after their first meal.

They do not die unless killed, they can move on all sides,

I say yes, because the grease would have no effect on its movement, it would just eat the grease, it dissolves everything except stone and metal. It doesn't need to make a reflex save.

as for my own question.... a barrier would have to be 10' tall or it would just ooze over it.

If you Grease an incline upon which a Gelatinous Cube is traveling, will it slide down?

(IMHO, not if it's touching another surface simultaneously...)
