[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 5994353, member: 57383"] I'd change the references to the "slug", since our working draft doesn't use that term for Protiston's normal form. We'll also need to say how long it takes for a sporocarp to mature - maybe a minute or a few rounds? I'd also have the size of the spore cloud vary with the Sporocarp's size. Revising... [B]Sporocarp (Ex):[/B] As a full round action, protiston can form its body into sporocarps — objects that resemble mushrooms. It can use its Self-Division ability to form a part or parts of its body into sporocarps while the rest of its body remains in its normal slime form. A sporocarp has AC 1, hardness 10, and the same hit points and spellcasting ability as a normal piece of Protiston and it gains Automatic Silent Spell (x3) and Automatic Still Spell (x3) as bonus feats while in sporocarp form. It is incapable of moving (so has speed 0 ft. and cannot make physical attacks), but has full use of its senses and mental abilities. A sporocarp is twice as tall as the reach of the equivalently sized piece of Protiston. Newly formed sporocarps are soggy and covered with damp mucus, giving them fire resistance 10. After X rounds the sporocarp will mature, drying out and gaining vulnerability to fire. The "mushroom" head of a mature sporocarp is hollow and filled with spores about an inch long. Any weapon damage which does not destroy a mature sporocarp causes it to split open and release its spores. The spores scatter in a cloud covering a radius equal to 30 foot or the sporocarp's height, whichever is greater.

The spores will form protiston cells and eventually regrow into squares of protiston's slime-body, a process that usually takes X minutes? hours? days? A single spore can reform Protiston's entire body in as little as Y days if it has sufficient food. [/QUOTE]
