[QUOTE="Big Mac, post: 4204484, member: 61182"] I've been thinking about the "replacement" for the Silactic's acid. How about we change this: Into something more like this: [I][B]Digest Metal (Ex)[/B] The creature secretes a digestive fluid that dissolves metal quickly as if it was acid, but does not affect organic material or stone. Any melee hit or constrict attack deals acid damage, and the opponent’s armor dissolves and become useless immediately unless they succeed on DC 21 Reflex saves. A metal weapon that strikes a silactic also dissolves immediately unless it succeeds on a DC 21 Reflex save. The save DCs are Constitution-based. The silactic’s acidic touch deals 21 points of damage per round to metal objects, but the ooze must remain in contact with the object for 1 full round to deal this damage.[/I] [B]EDIT:[/B] I've just noticed that the Platinum Silactic [B]does[/B] get an acid attack. [B]Maybe[/B] we just need a non-acid attack for the other types of Silactic. We could give the Platinum Silactic an acid attack that is more like the Black Pudding and give the other two Silactic's a more watered down Digest Metal ability. (Unless the Black Pudding acid attack is too much. If that is the case, I'd stick with giving them all Digest Metal and go with freyar's idea for something that only the Platinum Silactic does.) I think that each creature could probably get a different DC for the saving throws. I'm not sure what the numbers should be, but given that the Platinum Silactic has the highest XP value (and HD) and can disolve non-metal objects, I'd be inclined to make that highest. The Gold Silactic could have a slightly lower DC and the Iron Silactic should have a much lower DC. [/QUOTE]
