Homebrew Blindborn Plasmoid Species Details
A witch brewed you up in her caldron, tapping into the aberrant beyond, and now here you are. You weird, sentient goo, you.
Plasmoids are amorphous beings with no typical shape. In the presence of other folk, they often adopt a similar form, but there's little chance of mistaking a plasmoid for anything else. They consume food by osmosis, the way an amoeba does, and excrete waste through tiny pores. They breathe by absorbing oxygen through another set of pores, and their limbs are strong and flexible enough to grasp and manipulate weapons and tools. Although most plasmoids are translucent gray, they can alter their color and translucence by absorbing dyes through their pores.
Blindborn Plasmoid Traits
These are the things yooze can dooze because you're an oozeLanguages
You were made from the forces that leak from beyond the edges of the known. You are deeply tied to these forces, hearing their speech as your own. You can speak common and one other language of your choice.
Size
You are a small or medium creature. Choose at character creation.
Creature Type
You are an Ooze.
Ability Score Increase
Increase one of your ability scores by 2 and increase a different score by 1, or increase three different scores by 1.
Movement
You either have a walking speed of 30ft with a swim speed of 5ft, OR a walking speed of 25ft and a climb speed of 10ft and a swim speed of 5ft.
You are a being who has significant control over their limbs and their body when in air; when in water this control becomes disorienting and its all you can do to basically remain afloat.
A plasmoid with a climb speed can use this ability regardless of orientation or gravity, as with the spiderclimb spell.
Amorphous
You are able to shape and manipulate your body in extreme ways.
- As a bonus action you can reshape your body to give yourself a head, one or two arms, one or two legs, and makeshift hands and feet, or you can revert to a limbless blob. In this manner you can squeeze through a space as narrow as 1 inch wide, provided you are wearing and carrying nothing.
- As a bonus action, you can extrude a pseudopod that is up to 6 inches wide and 10 feet long or reabsorb it into your body. You can use this pseudopod to manipulate an
object, open an unlocked door or container, stow or retrieve an item from an open container, or pour out the contents of a container. The pseudopod can’t attack, activate magic items, or carry more than 10 pounds.
You also have advantage on ability checks you make to initiate or escape a grapple.
Tactile Senses
You are an ooze, with no eyes. Instead, your body is highly sensitive to sound and vibration, which you use to build up an "image" in your mind.
You gain a 15ft Blindsight radius. You are:
- Unhindered by Darkness and Invisibility.
- Immune to Blinded Condition
- Fail all checks totally reliant on sight at any radius outside your blindsight.
You have a body that is very sensitive to vibrations, which gives you excellent hearing, even using the sound of a heartbeat or a intake of breath to aim your attacks. Unfortunately, such sensitivity can work against you.
- You gain advantage on perception checks that use sound or vibration.
- You are vulnerable to thunder damage.
- You react to the Deafened Condition as though Blinded: Attack rolls against a blinded creature have advantage, and a blinded creature's attack rolls have disadvantage.
