    Wear a hollow mechagnome shell as armor. Pretend to be a mechagnome until you get caught.
    Have hollow articulated statues that you can enter shaped like various animals. You can be a wolf or tiger for combat. You can be a small donkey to be your own pack animal. Humanoids aren't the only things with limbs and heads.
    You can use invisibility and flatten out on a chair, bed or floor to get an auto hit with a touch spell. You are a sleep demon.
    Become flat or umbrella shaped to glide or slowfall.
    Wrap yourself around a companion and cast Barkskin or Mage Armor on yourself to give them the benefit.

      You had me at sleep demon!
      I gotta say I never in my life considered such a concept. It’s just so complex and so imaginative I give you credit. I really think it’s a cool idea. I feel like that’s such a plasmoid way of life. Like I feel that is something they really do often. I think it hits on thinking and acting like a plasmoid, which is some thing I didn’t even consider taking into account. I thought of being a plasmoid as being more akin to myself. I totally missed the mark on the possibility, which you did not which just is awesome!

    So I just like making characters with different concepts. Trying new races like this one brought two ideas right off the bat.
    The first one ( having never seen or watched most anime stuff ) was a no weapons, or gear rogue monk combo. This race is begging for stuff like the soulknife rogue, so I mixed that with a shadow monk.
    A small sized blob that just rides along with another pc as a little buddy hidden in a backpack.
    Doesn’t speak, but makes basic faces for emotion/communication. Psychic blades for sneak attacks, and monk features looks like a ton of fun in the right campaign.
    The other idea is a fathomless warlock, with pods, tentacles, etc…
    Spelljammer might have been a flop overall, but just take the best of what dnd has to offer and have fun with it.
    Good stuff Danny. Keep it coming!

    • @TheSinisterheroes

    The pseudopod specifically saying "The pseudopod contains no sensory organs" makes no sense. Anyone can tell if someone has pushed something soft or hard, hot or cold, sharp or blunt into their back, or any other part of their own body. Eliminating the sense of touch from part of any creature's attached body part seems.....odd, to say the least.

  • @dangersquirrel4868
    @dangersquirrel4868 Год назад +4

    A build I would really like to try with a Plasmoid is actually Artificer Armorer. There's an item in Mythic Odysseys of Theros called Molten Bronze Skin, which is a breastplate, half plate, or full plate armor that adheres to your skin. The description says it "doesn't impede bodily functions" meaning you can still use Amorphous while wearing heavy armor. As an Armorer, you can make the Molten Bronze Skin your Arcane Armor, and therefore your spellcasting focus with a built-in weapon, meaning you can be fully equipped while still squeezing through 1 inch openings. Add this with either Disguise Self or Alter Self and you're basically the T-1000 from Terminator 2.

    • @TheSinisterheroes
      @TheSinisterheroes  Год назад +2

      Oh my god that’s brilliant!!!! That’s so cool! I love that idea and building around a magical item really makes it personal. If ever your character passed that magic armor would mean so much to another character. That’s so cool

    • @TheSinisterheroes
      @TheSinisterheroes  11 месяцев назад +1

      Ok so they have scavenger eating patterns and they form life long bonds of friendship. So here’s my idea right. The ooze bonds with a dragon. But while the dragon was maybe in a different form right. Then maybe something went down the dragon showed its true form and then the plasmoid stays by there side. After being there for a while the plamoid unknowingly reproducing a new plasmoid would emerge and after being just around that dragon and absorbing the charred remains of those who would of attacked the dragon, the ooze would of absorbed some of the draconic energy over its like creation, and growth.
      Which kinda follows your thinking. In D&D being around certain entities or places you can absorb there magic to a sense. Like firbolgs eladrin and the fae to the shadar Kai in the shadow fell.

      I am playing a campaign as an aberrant mind plasmoid,he worked as the feeder for the plamoid boss,giving him thr food and eating what was left. Till the boss threw a book at him,saying he didnt like eating books,said book awakened his mind,and made him way more clever than hid kind.
      Now met osmos,a racist(agaisnt slimes)plasmoid with a deep hatred for lesser beings that want to control others,his mission is to kill juiblex.
      Till now the gameplay has been great,funniest thing i recently did was drink an ink flask to become black,and use that with "Evard's Black Tentacles" to pretend as a "Black Pudding"
      Evading a difficult combat.
      He mets a new plasmoid at mid campaign,and has a son,ehich he teaches his ways and carry him around inside a jar.
      Have been stealing thr eyes of all our enemies and putting inside him to use as memories,so i now have a beholder lesser eye in my face and a garistro's eye in my chest 😅😂

    Quick! someone's wrong on the internet!
    The PHB states that "Holding one's breath is ineffective against inhaled poisons, as they affect nasal membranes, tear ducts, and other parts of the body."
    Does that apply to an ooze that doesn't have nasal membranes and tear ducts? I think the spirit of the rules is yes, since they absorb oxygen through a set of pores.

    • @TheSinisterheroes
      @TheSinisterheroes  Год назад +2

      Hey if I am wrong I am wrong I am happy to admit it. But they don’t have nasal membranes, nor tear ducts, nor other parts of there body.
      They are an ooze if they can hold there breath they can stop air from coming in. Is my point, I mean I’d give it to them.
      But if DM’s want to run it differently I totally understand and I am happy to admit I am wrong.

Perhaps with tavern brawler and such an improvised weapon I get poison expert so I can deal the d4, the poison damage and the acid from elemental cleaver (lvl 6 Giant Barbarian) would be better than unarmed fighting to not waste the asi.

    It's probably late but im building a Plasmoid Abarant mind sorcerer with a 2 level dip into fathomless warlock. Picking up mask of many faces for at will disguise self(you can shape into anything) and with the avarant mind you can drop a subtle psychic lance without the bag guys ever knowing that the wooden crate is the culprit. Ideally im looking for a tiny gem or rod to fully uitilize the arcane focus and not impead the amorphous trait.
    Built right and with the correct spells, feats, stats, and invocations this can become a very versatile build, at least i hope so.

    • @TheSinisterheroes
      @TheSinisterheroes  Год назад +1

      You know if your not playing in spell jammer it makes sense to get disguise self. You are a terrifying ooze person.
      I like the combination of aberrant mind and fathomless i really feel like they synergies well.
      Though the sorcerer is a little more direct with the spells, considering so many are damage dealing the aberrant mind dose give you some crowd control options to off set that and you can find some utility amongst the spell list to balance out.

    Working on a plasmoid spore Druid. Back story so far. “ A life unintentionally made by a creeping dooms obsession in magical study deep in a watery gulch and knew nothing else, for when he surfaced, A elderly Druid was by said river to drink and fish, unknowingly being observed with a curiosity for the living. He followed it home, towards the dryads guise as a mere harmless puddle and learned in secret. “ as for who he is as a character, highly anti-social, shy and prefers looking like a chipmunk. Also has a quirk of dancing in the ☔️. No multi class since it wouldn’t really make much sense for him to invest unless it involves nature. His journey will be in finding life’s beauty since he was born from a very dark and immeasurably powerful dracolich filled with death that made his mindset. Also, got it written down for combat. “ you seem down for a sickness, it’s a good thing I give. “ already did our session one but if you have advice or thoughts on this character, I’ve yet to name him, thinking of a cactus arm as weapon for prick jokes in subtlety.

    • @TheSinisterheroes
      @TheSinisterheroes  7 месяцев назад

      “You seem down for a sickness” I Love that. As a disturbed fan I am with it. I like the direction you’re going with. You have this great way of embodying this liquid essence into your character, From the actions they take. I don’t envy you needing to pick the right name for them, that’s always my hardest part. I’d love to see how you develop the dracolich’s influnce on the character.
      I think you have a great handle on them. The only suggestion I really have, is be patient with your own character. Not being a charisma based class,and being a wisdom based one, dose put your roleplaying on a slower tempo.

    • @dannyleo5787
      @dannyleo5787 7 месяцев назад +1

      I agree on the slow pace, since he is for right now unsure of his very purpose, his only exposure to the world is from learning indirectly from a druid that has made it a practice to conjure. As for the influence of Daurgathoth... now that's where his true struggle of self comes to play, and talking with our dm on this as well, we're thinking that since my character is a indirect result of < bone melt > should he be less than 20% hp, my guy will be allowed to use one spell from the creeping doom itself but the cost will be to have need for a whole days rest instead of full rest for how truly dangerous dargathoths magics are, could even result to mental instability should it become constant since a dracolich wouldn't have to worry about these drawbacks cause it's technically dead. How it would likely happen, he shapes to his humanoid form, his membranes become yellow while his watery body becomes oil, screaming in dragon language that's displayed In a painful aura of topaz as it happens. Not trying to make it a op system, but to serve for our dm to use my guy as like a magical conduit to act as Daurgathoth to show true terror in display for PCs as well the npc around us. Thoughts, questions, or ideas are welcome

    • @TheSinisterheroes
      @TheSinisterheroes  7 месяцев назад

      You just have to be careful with how and when you use those dracolich ability. If you over use it, it never stays as cool and becomes mundane. Definitely want to make sure you don’t use it often. The draw backs are cool I like that.
      Being mindful of power difference between you and the party is key here. I find it my eternal struggle to be quiet during rp scenarios, and not jump in and spotlight steal. So I would have trouble on those days where you would be incapacitated. If your like me then just be prepared for that.
      I think you guys have a good working communication on this. The only thing is don’t abuse it because the burden of a party member being out a day, or the constant dracolich power can get tedious. Thankfully you have measures that result in in game consequences for frequent uses. I think that’s key.
      You guys seem to have it wrapped up really nicely.
