Homebrew Gel Species Details

Born from the fluids of Abhoth the primordial god of slime, and shunned by the city of Flux Luminus, Gels are forced to live on the outskirts of the surrounding Wastes. Gels need lots of moisture to survive, and thus their communities spring up near sources of moisture, such as rivers and lakes. Gel communities are generally tight-knit clans and tribes. The leaders of these communities are generally the parents and ancestors of the rest of the community. Gels reproduce asexually, with their offspring splitting off from their parent. The child is functionally a blank slate for its first few years, but gain more individuality and personality as they age.

The lifespan of a Gel is roughly 100-120 years.

Due to their gelatinous nature, the height of Gels varies greatly, as they can stretch and distort their bodies to different heights. The average maximum height a Gel can stretch is roughly 7 feet 8 inches.

The average weight of a Gel is 157 pounds.

Gel Traits

With bodies of slime and ooze, Gels have several unique traits.

Gelatinous Body

The fluid body of a Gel is more resistant to physical damage, such as the slash of a sword or the piercing thrust of a spear, or the slam of a club. Conversely, their bodies are less resistant to the elements. A burning flame will evaporate their body, the cold will freeze them solid, and electricity will course through their body. Their bodies can also travel through cracks and crevices.

Resistance to the following damage types: slash, piercing, and bludgeoning. Vulnerable to the following damage types: fire, lightning, and cold. It also allows for the ability to slip through cracks in walls, the crevice beneath a door, small holes, etc. 

Shock resistance

The body of a Gel is more resistant to damage than that of other creatures. For example, falling off a cliff would be far less lethal for a Gel than another creature.
