[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 6165836, member: 57383"] Since we're using the current Silver Slime slug as a model it doesn't have ranged attacks, since the Slug's "blowtorch" is a area-of-effect line attack. I'd be OK making it a ranged touch attack, but if we do we'll need to rephrase the Silver Slime Slug too. After checking the original MC entry, the AD&D Silver Slime's "welding torch" did not have a save for reduced damage, so changing the Slug's blowtorch to a ranged attack would be a better match to its writeup. So how about: [SIZE=3][B]Silver Slime Slug[/B][/SIZE] [B]Attack/Full Attack:[/B] Slam +4 melee (1d6+2 plus 1d6 acid) or blowtorch -1 ranged touch (3d8 fire) [B] Blowtorch (Ex):[/B] A silver slime slug can form a pseudopod into a flaming wand that can shoot a stream of fire up to 10 ft. long. This is a ranged touch attack that inflicts 3d8 fire damage. [SIZE=3][B]Silver Slime Megalium[/B][/SIZE] [B]Attack/Full Attack:[/B] 10 pseudopods [tool +10 melee (1d8+7 plus 2d6 energy*) or beamtorch +0 ranged touch (4d8 energy*)] [B]Pseudopod Weaponry (Ex):[/B] As a free action, a silver slime megalium can form its pseudopods into weapons. The megalium can produce any combination of tools and beamtorches it requires, and it can use pseudopod weaponry with different energy types at the same time. [I]Melee Tool:[/I] This pseudopod tool is a melee weapon that inflicts 1d8+7 damage (piercing, slashing, and bludgeoning) plus 2d6 energy damage. The energy damage can be acid, cold, electricity, fire, or sonic. [I]Beamtorch:[/I] This pseudopod has a rod-like tip that can shoot a stream of energy as long as the megalium's reach (10 ft. for a typical Huge specimen). A beamtorch is a ranged touch attack that does 4d8 energy damage. The energy damage can be acid, cold, electricity, fire, or sonic. [/QUOTE]
