Message: <blockquote data-quote="wolff96" data-source="post: 757561" data-attributes="member: 342">Funny that this should come up now...There's been a discussion recently on the Monte Cook messageboards about Kirby. I posted up my version -- that I used for a Planescape campaign -- and then the entire group discussed and tinkered with it a bit.I started with the assumption that Kirby was a unique, awakened ooze. So that really doesn't help your race. But you might get some ideas from this anyway...---------------------------------------KirbyMedium Ooze (Awakened)Hit Dice................10d10 + 50 (105 hp)Initiative...............+0Speed..................30 ft., climb 20 ft., Fly 20 ft.

Not subject to critical hits.Awakened (Ex): Due to his unique nature, Kirby is not immune to mind-influencing effects.Inhale (Su): By gulping a huge amount of air, Kirby is able to suck a target into his square in order to swallow it. Inhalation affects a cone 10 feet + 5 feet/(Kirby's size category bigger than Small, normally 15') in length. All creatures inside the affect who are the same size category or smaller than Kirby must make a Ref save (DC 16) or be immediately moved to Kirby's square, where Kirby immediately grapples them as a free action with a -4 to his (Kirby's) Grapple check. Any who fail the grapple check are in contact with Kirby's surface, where they can be Swallowed Whole or Spit. Kirby may grapple multiple creatures like this, but each additional creature accumulates an additional -2 on the grapple check.Once Kirby attempts to inhale, he can't do so again for 1d4 rounds. Activating this inverted breath weapon is a standard action which draws attacks of opprotunity. If desired, Kirby can continue to use Inhale for the rest of the round by extending the action to a full-round action, although if he is hit he must make a Concentration ckeck as if casting a spell or immediately stop inhaling. Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, Kirby must hit with his slam attack. If he gets a hold, he automatically deals slam damage and can try to swallow the opponent.Swallow Whole (Ex): Kirby can try to swallow a grabbed opponent of Large or smaller size by making a successful grapple check. Once inside, the opponent takes 1d6 + 4 points of crushing damage per round from Kirby’s internal cellular pressure. A swallowed creature can climb out of Kirby with a successful grapple check. This removes the creature from Kirby, but it remains entangled in the cellular structure, where another successful grapple check is needed to get free. A swallowed creature can also cut its way out by using claws or a Small or Tiny slashing weapon to deal 25 points of damage to the internal cells (AC 15). Once the creature exits, Kirby's ooze nature closes the hole; another swallowed opponent must cut its own way out. Kirby can hold only one opponent at a time, regardless of their size.Absorb Ability (Su): As a result of the magical experiments that created him, Kirby has the unique ability to absorb power from a creature that has been Swallowed Whole for as long as the creature survives. Kirby gains the BAB, class abilities, and physical ability scores of the creature swallowed, though his hit points do not change. These changes take place as soon as the creature has been swallowed. Any equipment used by the swallowed creature migrates outward (taking one round to do so as a free action for Kirby) and Kirby automatically becomes proficient in its use. Any spells, spell-like abilities, or supernatural abilities that the swallowed creature has are also available to Kirby, regardless of whether or not his ability scores are actually high enough to use them. (Thus, Kirby could cast an 8th level spell if he swallowed someone capable of casting one, though his intelligence would not normally allow this.) Any special abilities with limited daily uses (such as memorized spells or a half-dragon’s once-per-day breath weapon) are used up both for Kirby and the swallowed character if Kirby uses them.Kirby retains the physical ability scores, BAB, and class abilities of a swallowed creature until he swallows another creature. He also retains any absorbed equipment and remains proficient in its use even after the victim is dead, has escaped, or is Spit out. Kirby loses access to any spells, spell-like abilities, or supernatural abilities of the swallowed victim as soon as the victim dies, escapes from Kirby, or is Spit out. Note that items that the character does not currently have equipped are unaffected and remain with a swallowed character.Spit (Ex): As a standard action that does not draw an attack of opportunity, Kirby can spit out a swallowed character. This attack has a range of 10’ and does 1d6 damage to the ejected victim. If Kirby uses this as an attack on a nearby character, both the ejected victim and the target take 1d6 damage if Kirby’s ranged attack roll would hit the target. Kirby takes no penalties for using a non-standard ranged weapon for this attack.Buoyant Flight (Ex): As a standard action that does not draw an attack of opportunity, Kirby may gulp in a huge breath of air. After doing so, Kirby may fly at a rate of 20ft per round with average maneuverability. Kirby may not have a creature (regardless of size) swallowed whole to use this ability.</blockquote>
