One of my favorites is the slime so big it fills the hallway, so all the players "see" is a shimmering translucent veil in the semidark dank dungeon. While they start checking for magic, it's slowly moving towards them.
Too this day I'm still not 100% sure Cotton Candy isn't in some way just spun slime monster. Every time the local FAIR comes to town, I roll the dice... One day I'll find that monster, one day.
Ochre Jellys will always stick with me just from a funny memory from a game. Our party's bard was played as a coward and when ever we rolled for combat, they'd just dip out or actively not help. Example: one combat they threw their dagger at the enemy. DM: the enemy is close to 150 ft away from you, you haven't moved your character yet. Bard: I still throw it. DM: okay, it goes seveal feet and lands in some tall grass. Bard: Great! I'll look for my dagger next round. This led to some pretty interesting RP after things like this happened several times. So we have an encounter up against 4 Ochre Jellys. The Bard tries to be brave and casts their first spell of the campaign...Cloud of Daggers...right in the middle of all 4 of them. Our DM decided that it was 4d4 against all of them, they all split into 4. So our fight went from being 5(our party)v4 to 5v16. What made it even funnier is the Bard got scared and hid, but didn't drop their concentration...so it kept making the encounter "worse". 😂 Genuinely thought it was absolutely hilarious of other PCs yelling at her to "turn it off" while the Ochre Jellys just keep moving through the spell over and over again.
I may have made a boss that coated players in oil that required being washed off to avoid fire damage, and described a large container of “water” in the corner… you can figure out the rest
Jelly cube with a full set of plate inside. Ur party thinks its a slow moving animated armour but it id infact a jelly cube sitting in a hallway with its emzimes making a pocket the moves around the armour making it slowly shift
Hmm....So I could take that new Spelljammer race the Plasmoid, establish the character as a villainous rancher of slimes, and theme an entire dungeon around a goo weaponizing various slimes with the whole place being basically a weaponized zoo.....
I was GM'ing a campaign where the party was in a desert. One of the players had survived almost unharmed after several hard encounters and kept bragging about it. So, after wandering for several days I tell the party they are running very low on water. Oh look, an Oasis ahead! The party advance up and one puts his canteen down and fills it with water. I have the party make a perception but everyone fails. As he walks away two others kneel down to get theirs filled. One was the problem player and the other a sorcerer, both get grabbed by a slime that was hiding under the water. The sorcerer succeeds in his strength check and quickly gets free. The player who loved to brag rolled a 2 and got eaten. Needless to say the party no longer trusted any water they came across for the rest of the campaign.
I hate it when I make a jelly sandwich and the jelly eats the bread, it's really annoying. (Slime Ranger is about selling slime poop btw. You're welcome. :) )
I feel like WatC made the mistake of playing it too safe while making plazmoids. Replacing all senses with a Blindsight that blinds/deafens them past it's boundaries, and giving them an acidic grapple similar to the battlerager barbarian's ability would have fleshed it out a lot better.
i want to create a trap of just where the room walls ooze out slimes of the same type and party need to kill the ooze to get to the next room or they will die from being suffocated by it
What's your favorite slime trap?

@@Oblivion1975 A spun ocher jelly sounds terrifying
@@captjumprope9319 That's a good one.
A dark hole with some shimmering gold or treasure, only to be home of a hungry slime is a fun one

Jelly blender. Amazing

YES,... OOZE in a jar i love it.

This could be a fun distraction with all kinds of stuff. Animated chairs or flying carpets. Nope jelly
The floating coin was how one of our players got into the gelatine cube.
Yes! Trap viability confirmed

Lol that's mean but i like it. Well done.
oozes are may all time fav monster in RPGs curently running a homebrewed ooze rancher named flandro in a game haha simic hybrid that focuses slimes
10/10 I love the new flavor of video
Good to hear! I was a little worried to branch out.
Thought this was about the new Plasmoid race so i was disappointed but then watched the video and subscribed! great vid
I'm glad you liked it. Check out the why you should play ooze video
Don't know who you are or how I haven't seen you before but I'm subbing now lol
Welcome to the channel! Feel free to check out the discord if you have cool art or stories to share
First comment.
Yay, another video on Slimes as a playable race!
Uh oh this one is about being monsters. But I don't see why you can't play these as pcs
@@Rookzer0 Oh, gotcha.
@@andrewdowns3673 Everything is a playable race if you try hard enough xD
Indeed

yeah, they essentially made the Oblex just less interesting changelings. Ooze needs to ooze.
Does a swarm of rugbies count as a goblin ooze?
Everything is a liquid in large numbers.

That sounds deadly
