I ran a group of my son's friends through a dungeon this afternoon. They started with character amnesia and nothing but a jumpsuit. After 3hrs of using improvised weapons from broken chests and rocks pried from the walls, they came upon a dimly lit pit to the side of their corridor. It was small, only 5'x10', but 30' deep with about 10' of "water" at the bottom. Clearly visible was a trove! 3 Swords, a couple of daggers, 2 shields, and gold pieces piled all over the bottom. Well, 3 of the five shoved past each other to dive into the "water" while arguing over what things they were swimming down to grab first......yup, the water was welcoming, if a bit more viscous than they imagined. 3d6 acid entry fee plus 6d6 on the Cube's turn = three quick deaths. The greed trap, it never gets old!

 SO going to use this. Thx!

Interesting - I would be inclined to have have it resist piercing and slashing, but not be immune or resist bludgeoning, which seems it would be more disruptive of its form. I'm going to have to adapt this idea :)

 No because unlike other oozes, it has a "skin" sort-of

Very classic, and very dangerous!

Would a party of 4-6 1st level characters be able to fight this?

If they were very strategic or lucky, yes.

Thanks!

do you die if you are in the cube for too long?

yes

It does acid damage at it's turns

My first death (Also my first TPKO)

So by default it is not resistant to any type of attack other than the conditions listed? All weapons deal regular damage?

I'm doing a campaign and this is what is happening

i love this one10

Can you use alter self to make it so you can breath in the gelatinous cube?

Quote from SoraCountyJr >>

A warforge would take damage but not have to breathe. A Clay golem would benefit from the acid. However if a warforge has an item that granted immunity to acid, then it would work

 HA HA HA HA HA HA >:)

How bout making a sentient cube that crashes onto other planets and slowly expands as it consumes civilizations until the entire planet is now one big gelatinous cube that disperses more small cubes that spread to other planets.

What happens  if it runs up against a flaming sphere? Can it consume it?

I miss the older version that moved at 60' per round. Now players casually stroll away from them.

I faced a gelatinous cube and I tried to befriend it. My party except me wanted to kill it. They succeeded, but a gelatinous cube baby came out of the corpse. I adopted it, calling it Gelly (Jel-ee). It’s my best friend in the campaign I’m playing. Yipppeeeeeeeee
