Homebrew Sentient Slime Species Details

Slimes are some of the weakest monsters known to any region. They're typically thoughtless creatures that only absorb, split, and regenerate. However, some slimes are unordinarily smart, and a small subsection of their race is composed of sentient ooze. Through absorbing other creatures, Sentient Slimes may transform into their prey. This evolutionary advantage has helped them to survive in almost any environment as long as food is available.

Ability Score Increase Your Constitution score increases by 2 Age Slimes do not age, but will shrink and can eventually die from starvation.

Alignment Sentient Slimes usually act on a whim, and rarely care about good and evil. Because of this, most slimes tend to be neutral.

Size While not transformed, your size is small. Slimes can consume any organic matter that enters their semi-solid body in less than 1 minute. Speed While not transformed, you have a slither (walking) and climbing speed of 15 feet.

Ooze While not transformed, your creature type is ooze, rather than humanoid. Your body shape and composition is similar to a droplet of thick gelatin.

Transform After consuming an entire creature, you can use an action to turn into the creature if their CR is less than half of your level (rounded down). Your game statistics, not including mental ability scores, are replaced by the statistics of the creature. You also retain your alignment, personality, and current hitpoints. If you transform into a humanoid creature, you can choose to only mimic their appearance while retaining your original game statistics. You're limited in the actions you can perform by the nature of your new form, with the transformation lasting until you willingly end it with an action, drop to 0 hitpoints or die.

Adaptable While not transformed, you are immune to the blinded, deafened, exhausted, and prone conditions. You also don't need to breathe. Blindsight While not transformed, you have blindsight up to 60 ft away, and are blind beyond this radius
