BlueCloud2k2 Posted October 31, 2010 Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 While working on my D&D to Fantasy HERO game, I found myself in need of at least one new monster (half of my group has played D&D extensively - I needed something they've never gone up against). So I decided to take the Deadly Ooze from the Bestiary and tweak it a bit. Let me know what you think.[ATTACH=CONFIG]37312[/ATTACH] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DusterBoy Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 Re: New Monster: Introducting the Ever-Combustible Purple Jelly Send for Steve McQueen is my advice (And no, I'm not going to explain that. If you don't get it, shame on you.) Otherwise, it loks like a good write-up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Lee Moser Posted November 12, 2010 Report Share Posted November 12, 2010 Re: New Monster: Introducting the Ever-Combustible Purple Jelly I'm not sure if "combustible" is the word you're looking for--the flame is meant to represent an attack the jelly can use, not being set on fire, am I right?

Narf the Mouse Posted November 21, 2010 Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 Re: New Monster: Introducting the Ever-Combustible Purple Jelly It's a fully-functional fiery ooze monster. Have some congo rats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Hopcroft Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 Re: New Monster: Introducting the Ever-Combustible Purple Jelly I wonder what the consequences for the dungeon would be of having the jelly perpetually on fire. If there are other critters in the labyrinth (as there are in most) they might need interesting ways to interact with its presence. There are places where it might be useful for pest control and for warming cold areas, and places where it would be a bloody nuisance such as where anything important is stored -- and since it's a mindless blob it can't be trusted to know the difference!

Pizza Man Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 Re: New Monster: Introducting the Ever-Combustible Purple Jelly Try a twist. Its a normal looking ooze until they try to burn it. Then it explodes into napalm like little bits. an area effect attack that engulfs the party and keeps on burning. Heck, it doesn't even have to die right away. you can apply fire AND acid damage to the party. I GM'd a lot of DnD. An old trick I used was to take a familiar monster and just change its shape. I took a Sea Hag, called it a corrupted dryad, and described it as a beautiful but wild looking maiden clad only in leaves. The players freaked out when the attacks came... A grimlock became undead dwarfs digging up grave yards from the movie (I can't remember the name right now). Its actually pretty fun.

Old Man Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 Re: New Monster: Introducting the Ever-Combustible Purple Jelly Living napalm. Cool. Sick and demented, but cool. Bonus points if it's sapient and can talk. "AAAAAHH! I'M ON FIRE!! IT BURNS!! AAAAAAAAAHHH!!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
