Homebrew Flood Species Details

Flood are humanoid creatures created from the monstrous slimes of the world. They can be a wide array of colors and have very strange bodies dependent on one’s own life experiences.

Having been born from slimes and oozes of the past, Floods are merely humanoid forms of these creatures. They are still mildly acidic and malleable. Able to change their body shape vaguely and up to the dungeon master’s discretion.  

Flood Traits

Floods are very similar to oozes, having malleable forms, and often strange proportions and colors.

Ability score improvement

Being very similar to the ooze creatures that roam the world, your body is naturally durable. This is due to it’s strange makeup of a membrane that keeps out most dangerous things.

Moldable

Your strange, slimy body is capable of stretching and straining in ways that no other humanoid can. This gives you unnatural proportions, allowing you to have maybe a strangely broad chest and very thin torso. Perhaps a very large upper body with thin legs, be creative! However, you are not capable of shrinking your size, or growing. Nor can you create weapons out of your body.

Age

Most Flood live only short years, as most die off young with no one to watch over them. However, if raised by civilized folk, then they have no limit on their own age, and will live as long as they can accommodate their self.

Size

After being born, Floods size don’t change, as they’re born fully grown. Your size is medium.

Adaptation

Due to the Flood’s strange bodies, they naturally learn and adapt from birth and forward, changing the way those said bodies react to the outside world. These things Include things like harder skin when struck, or naturally good eyesight.

the possible options for these adaptations include Tough Skin, Perceptive eyes, Slender frame, Strong back, Natural weapons, Water adaptation, Skillful climber or Extra appendages. Each Flood gets 3 of these adaptations, the first at 3rd level, then 7th, then 12th.
