Homebrew Cuddle slimes Species Details
they were an experiment gone wrong in trying to create a self replicating potion for healing people. they need not to eat, sleep, or breath like other creatures do. however they do regularly consume material mass to heal themselves. they are resistant to both slashing and piercing damage.
Cuddle slimes Traits
lvl with classhealing essence
Can heal a creature using it's slime for 1d4+con+prof at first lvl while taking a d4 in damage this increases as your character lvls every odd lvl. this will increase as the race levels in a class to 1d6 at 3rd lvl, 1d8 at 5th lvl, 1d10 at 7th lvl, 1d12 at 9th lvl, 2d4 at 11th, 2d6 at 13, 2d8 at 15th, 2d10 at 17th and 2d12 at 19th lvl.
dissolver
The slime can eat almost anything, and gain nourishment from it. (You can make a Athletics/Acrobatics check to engulf an item/creature smaller than you. All creatures engulfed take 2d6 acid damage at the start of your turn. You heal half the damage dealt. if it is an item you gain healing the same amount you do for your healing slime potions. if it is a magical item you gain double the healing and can mimic the magical properties once as you disperse the magic through your body. you can also use this ability to damage weapons that you are attacked by. if attacked by a sword or dagger or other slashing and piercing weapons they take half the damage you would heal from consuming such an item this ignores the weapons toughness.
aqua jet
the slime can shoot a jet of scolding hot or icy cold water at an enemy once a day dealing 2d6 blugeoning damage and 1d6 either hot or cold damage.
healing hugs and cuddles
a cuddle slime can heal creatures with a hug or cuddling up to them. this healing increases every 5 lvls starting at 1d4 at first lvl and going to 1d12 at 20th lvl.
corrosive hugs and cuddles
on the other hand if a cuddle slime is angry with some one it can use its healing slime to instead hurt them dealing 1d4 at first lvl and increasing in die type every 5 lvls to 1d12 at 20th lvl.

Posted Oct 29, 2019So far this creature seems more like a pet than an actual playable race. There's no movement speed. You haven't clarified how it might look or if it can even speak. I'd look up Myxapia for a reference. They're pretty well-built slime races. Otherwise, this creature sounds frggn adorable and I love it and I'm gonna take this to the side for a future NPC/Pet for my party in a future game I'm panning.

Posted Sep 20, 2020I'm going to be honest here, this homebrew is not that good. I feel like you made this as a player hoping your DM would approve of it because of its obviously broken and weird abilities. The biggest issue is the 'Healing Hugs and Cuddles' ability. This ability gives whoever plays as this race unrestricted ability to heal. There is no drawback and there is no cap to it. It also completely overshadows the first ability in terms of usefulness. I believe healing essence is actually a cool idea, but when you wrote healing hugs and cuddles, you pretty much got rid of any reason to use it because it is limited and hugs and cuddles isn't. You also haven't listed important details, like movement speed, size, and how much time it takes to use each ability. You gave it resistance to slashing and piercing damage, which really seems weird given its other abilities. You gave it superior darkvision instead of regular darkvision.
There are some things here that are worth salvaging to make a good and balanced race.
