Message: <blockquote data-quote="Cleon" data-source="post: 5818478" data-attributes="member: 57383">I suspect we're arguing about terminology here more than the actual mechanics.How about this:Attack: Slam (6d6+13 plus 6d6 acid)Engulf (Ex): Protiston can simply mow down smaller creatures as a standard action. It can make a slam attack and an engulf attack in the same round as a full round action. Protiston merely has to move over the opponents, affecting as many as it can cover. Opponents can make opportunity attacks against protiston, but if they do so they are not entitled to a saving throw. Those who do not attempt attacks of opportunity must succeed on a DC XX Reflex save or be engulfed; on a success, they are pushed back or aside (opponent's choice) as protiston moves forward. Engulfed creatures take 6d6+13 bludgeoning damage plus 6d6 acid damage, and are considered to be grappled and trapped within protiston's body. The save DC is Strength-based.Engulfing Grab (Ex): To use this ability, protiston must hit with its slam attack. It can then attempt to start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity. If it wins the grapple check, it establishes a hold and can attempt to engulf its opponent (see below) as a free action. Protiston can choose not to engulf an opponent if it wishes to, and can release a creature it has already engulfed (as a free action) if it needs to make room to engulf a new opponent. Protiston has a +4 racial bonus on grapple checks (already figured into the Base Attack/Grapple entry above). Swarmlike (Ex): Protiston, like all slime molds, is not  truly a single creature but is a cooperative of myriads of amoeba-like  creatures. As such, it has some of the traits of a swarm. Unlike other creatures whose space occupies more than one square,  protiston is shapeable. It  can occupy any contiguous squares, and it  can squeeze through any  space large enough to contain Tiny creatures. It can  occupy the same space as  a creature of any size, since it crawls all  over its prey.</blockquote>
