Slippy Slime (5e Race)
|
This page is incomplete and/or lacking flavor. Reason: This doesn't have quite the amount of fluff needed to differentiate it as a race compared to comparable races like Slimefolk (5e Race).

|
This page is of questionable balance. Reason: "within reason" is a nebulous constraint that means nothing and needs mechanical constraint for change form. Other traits also need some more mechanical wording, like usage specifications (is there a limit to what kind of item you can stick in your body, eg.).

Slippy Slime[edit]
An alien slime but slightly different and able to take a somewhat humanoid form.
Physical Description[edit]
a blob of yellow, blue, green, purple, red, or orange slime that can change its color to look like clothes and humanoid skin.
History[edit]
the slippy slime is a type of alien slime that was looked down upon like trash and killed for its somewhat magical property. The killing only seemed to stop once the slimes gained the ability to look somewhat like people and animals. Now they stay mostly in hiding and tend to hide their selfs from the world in fear of being killed and treated like scum.
Society[edit]
The life of a slippy slime is spent mostly in hiding, covering themselves from the out side world in fear of being killed and looked down upon. Even though many slimes wish to be performers and actors those dreams are normally crushed very quickly, knowing they will fail.
<Slippy slime> Names[edit]
a slippy slime will very rarely have a name given by the parent and normally gain it later in life from the few friends some find.
male: slim, slime.
female: slime, slimea
