[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 4477261, member: 57383"] The DC isn't for anything, I just forgot to delete it after copy-and-pasting the Gelatinous Cube's Engulf power to use as a template for the goop ghoul's version of the power. I'd also left the original monster name 'cube' in the write-up. I agree the [I]Wish[/I] restriction is unwarranted. I'd only left it in the rough cut because, as you said, it was in the original. Resurrection seems more appropriate to me as well. How about this instead: [B]Engulf (Ex)[/B] A goop ghoul can engulf a paralyzed creature as a standard action, merely by flowing its body over them. It cannot make a slam attack during a round in which it engulfs. Engulfed creatures are subject to the ooze’s paralysis and take 1d8 acid damage per round. If the victim regains movement before being killed, they may throw off the goop ghoul by succeeding in a grapple contest against the goop ghoul. A goop ghoul engulfing a victim can be removed by applying fire. Casting [I]Heal[/I] or [I]Cure Disease[/I] on its victim also makes a goop ghoul withdraw, though such spells cause no harm to the monster. A goop ghoul will continue digesting an engulfed victim's flesh until their skeleton has been picked clean. A being dissolved in this fashion cannot be brought back to life by [I]Raise Dead[/I], a more powerful spell such as [I]Resurrection[/I] or [I]Wish [/I]is required, though the skeleton is fit for use with an [I]Animate Dead[/I] spell. Should we say how long it takes for a goop ghoul to strip the flesh of a skeleton - is it all over in a round or does the process take several minutes? [/QUOTE]
