Homebrew Gelatinous Ooze Species Details

Society

Gelatinous cubes are generally solitary creatures, but when gifted with intelligence (usually by the influence of their creator, the demon lord Juiblex), they can begin seeking out the company of other intelligent creatures. This may be to hunt them, learn more about them, or simply just because they are lonely. It is not uncommon for such an intelligent cube to come across and join an adventuring party, as they are the only creatures who are mad enough to enter the places that these oozes would normally live.

Split Form

When you reach third level you can split your form as an action for a time equal to your proficiency bonus in rounds (1 round = 6 seconds), recombining as a bonus action. Splitting takes your main forms hit points and divides it in half giving the lower amount to your second form. Your second form acts on its own matching your initiative. If the form is knocked unconscious before it recombines, it takes an action to reabsorb the unconscious form into you. If that form were to die before being recombined, your size would decrease by one stage (medium to small, small to tiny). to regain the mass to go back up in size you need to spend 1d4 days recuperating, without any further loss. If further loss occurs you have to restart the 1d4 days of recuperation.

-At 6th level the split form can imprint with 1 of your current classes and the abilities you have with it/spells/slots etc.

-At 16th level the split form would be able to imprint up to 2 of your current classes and the abilities you have from them including spells/ spell slots.

-At 20th level the split form gains autonomy and true independence.

Language

You can communicate with Ooze. Ooze is a physical form of language, resembling complicated handshakes.

Poisonous Skin

Any creature that grapples you or otherwise comes into direct contact with your skin must succeed on a DC 12 Constitution saving throw or become poisoned for 1 minute. A poisoned creature no longer in direct contact with you can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. You can also apply this poison to any piercing weapon as part of an attack with that weapon, though when you hit the poison reacts differently. The target must succeed on a DC 12 Constitution saving throw. On a fail, the Ooze can communicate telepathically with the target. A creature can choose to fail this saving throw.
