Special Conversion Thread: Microscopic Monsters

We might as well err on the side of caution...

Now I did wonder whether we should give them "half damage from slashing or piercing" like a Tiny Swarm, since the Slug is basically an unusually organized swarm. That would make it more likely to "splatter" when hit by bludgeoning weapons, but that could make sense.

I like it!

Updating Working Draft.

Anything else?

I'd say they look pretty good. Let's go with CR 5. I also want to stick with solitary, since I think the point of the slug is that all the slime molds around conglomerate into one.

Flavor and tactics next, or do you want to do the sporocarp hazard?

I'd rather sort out all the form before tying them together with flavour text, but I guess we could do the tactics since they'll be different for each form.

Although that means we should have done the amoeboids tactics already...

Amoeboids just try to slam and grab, swarms swarm and grab, slugs slam and grab and engulf. It's all instinctual. There, all done.

Sporocarp anyone?

Not done.

Swarms don't grab, they cling.

Sporocarp anyone?

Basically, we need to decide what the Sporocarp does that's hazardous. Choking? Inhaled disease?

Inhaling it makes you choke up a carp?

"choke up a carp?" I don't even know what that means.

A cheap play on sporocarp.
