Homebrew Geleton Species Details
Geletons are the living, symbiotic fusion of two semi- conscious life forms: oozes and reanimated skeletons. When a skeleton suspended in an ooze is subjected to necromancy that would normally transform it into a mindless thrall, it’s possible for the ooze to magically connect to the reanimated body, and its departed life, instead. This event is called Synthesis, and it’s through this process that the fragments of life held by ooze and skeleton can come together to form a complete whole. Occasionally called Symblexes for their parallels to other intelligent oozes, geletons are given a rare second chance at life—one that they are as moldable to as their gelatinous forms themselves.

Geleton Traits
Your geleton character has the following traits.Age
Geletons come to life fully matured but may resemble a younger or older creature. Their full life span is unknown, but in general they live for about a century.
Alignment
Geletons are as likely to be good as they are to be evil. Their personality is molded by the company they keep and the environment around them, especially during the formative months following their Synthesis. Many geletons end up at least partly neutral.
Size
A geleton’s size depends on the skeleton inside of it. You can choose to be either Medium or Small when you select this race.
Speed
Your base walking speed is 30 feet.
Darkvision
You can see in dim light within 30 feet of you as if it were bright light and in darkness as if it were dim light. You discern colors in that darkness only as shades of gray.
Limited Blindsight
You still retain a small portion of sightless awareness from your ooze heritage. You have blindsight out to a range of 5 feet.
Symbiotic Fortitude
You don’t need to breathe. In addition, you have resistance to acid damage and are immune to disease.
Wakeful
Geletons only need to sleep for a short time each day. Even while sleeping, you remain aware of your immediate surroundings thanks to your limited blindsight. After sleeping for 4 hours, you gain the same benefit that a human does from 8 hours of sleep.
Languages
You can speak, read, and write Common and one other language of your choice. This extra language may be one you remember from a previous life.

Posted Jul 22, 2023If a geleton uses wildshape, do you guys think the wildshape would take on the attributes of the geleton’s ooze because it’s technically inhuman with no skin/hair?
