Is 2d6 acid enough for you?

It's good enough for me.

 

[freyar]

Yes, 2d6 works. How much acid damage should an engulfed opponent take per round? Same as the slam, like a gelatinous cube?

Yes, I think so. It's basically being acid-slimed all over with both attacks.

 

[freyar]

Let's just do that. Otherwise, I think the standard Engulf will work.

Anything else to add?

Updating Working Draft.

I've copied over the Amoeboid Slime Mold's Acid and Improved Grapple special attacks. Should we reduce the Amoeboid form's +8 racial bonus to Grapple to give the Slug a +4, say, or cut it altogether?

 

[freyar]

Give it +4, I think.

The slug seems to be shaping up to be very easy to hit but otherwise tough. Interesting.

By the way, the attack lines need +10 melee for the slams.

Anything else on the slugs?

Probably just an org. What is a collective of slugs called?

The attack bonus must have got lost by me copying the Swarm's statblock.

I'll update it, but the slam's +9 melee, not +9. You appear to have forgotten the size penalty.

The Slime Mold Slug is already a collective - it's a "super swarm" of amoeboids working together.

I'd rather keep the Slug a "solitary" monster. If you had two slugs they'd probably join together into one bigger one.

Which reminds me, should there be any attacks that will split them up, or "cut a swarm off the slug"?

Good point! I agree.

Ooh...fun! Base it off the Split SQ of some oozes?
