GLOG Wizard - Jellimentalist

Another GLOG class I've been thinking about for quite a while.  Apparently the most exciting classes for me are the ones with pun names.  What can I say?  I'm weak.  This is probably another class that would make a better NPC than PC, since it takes a special kind of person to want to be a Slime Wizard. 

As usual the GLOG is a Goblin Punch invention, and my spells are greatly informed by Coins and Scrolls' various spell lists.  Spells marked with * are pre-existing GLOG spells, though Blubber! Ball and Gelatinous Form have been changed slightly.  It is great fun to make specialist wizard classes.



Jellimentalist


The Jellimentalists, the Ooze Wizards, are another newer school from Booezor, the city of riches... or rather the Oldcity sewers below it. They are by nature recluses and outcasts, even among solitary wizardkind. Their magics make them masters of slime, ooze, mucous, jelly, and acid, and their powers are those of transformation, destruction, and defense. While powerful, their spells will not function unless they keep from drying out, like elementalists. This confines them to the dark, wet, underground spaces where they keep company with the ameboid life they celebrate and emulate.


Perk


Enzymatic Resistance – You have a +3 bonus to saves vs. acidic or enzymatic damage, or the effects of ooze, slime, and jelly creatures.


Drawbacks

Slimeball – You have a disturbing appearance and exhibit constant moistness. -2 to charisma rolls against anyone who isn't also slimy and disgusting.


Friend of Filth – You have great difficulty bringing yourself to destroy a slime, jelly, or ooze creature. Make a charisma save to do so.

Moisturize Me! – You are unable to cast spells if you are dehydrated. You can use the Grease spell on yourself to prevent this effect for [dice] hours.
"HUG IT"


Cantrips


1. Dirty – (at will) – You may leave staining marks wherever you touch on a non- magical object, or pollute water or food.


2. Etch – (at will) – You can scour a small surface with acidic secretions from your fingertip. You can control the width of the line you make, allowing for fine designwork or a scrawled arrow. With practice, you can use this to do detailed etching, but only as fast as well-trained professional could.


3. Luminous Blob – (at will) – You create a softly glowing lump of jelly in any color you like. It is adhesive enough to be attached to any surface, but can be easily unstuck. The lump dimly illuminates a 15' area, and you may only create one at a time.


Spells


*1. Grease – R: 50', T: object, D: [dice]x2 rounds
Can be cast directly on a creature or [sum]10' x 10' surfaces. Creatures moving across the area must Save vs Dexterity or drop held objects, or, if moving, drop prone.

*2. Gelatinous Form – R: touch, T: self, D: [sum] minutes

Your flesh and clothing become gelatinous. You can squeeze through gaps as small as keyhole with a great deal of effort. You take no damage from bludgeoning weapons for the duration of the spell. Any acid damage you take heals HP instead. Items you are not wearing will be uneffected.


3. Glue – R: touch, T: object, D: [dice] hours
You secrete a powerful adhesive from your hand onto a single object or creature, the next thing that touches the area is affixed for the duration. If you invest 4 or more [dice] the duration is permanent.


4. Gout of Acid – R: 100' jet, T: creature, D: 0
You spray a jet of acidic slime from your palm or mouth that deals 1d6 + [dice] damage each round for [dice] rounds. The acid eats through paper, cloth, and fur in 1 round unless scraped off, leather and wood objects in 2 rounds, metal in 3 rounds, and mineral matter in 4 rounds. It is inefficient for digging through materials. The gout is messy and splashes regularly at close range.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

5. Stone to Ooze – R: 50', T: stone, D: permanent
Stone transforms into ooze or mud in [dice] 10'x10'x10' areas. Creatures standing on newly formed ooze get a dexterity save to avoid sinking in. Sunken creatures save vs. constitution or suffocate.

*6. Blubber! Ball – R: touch, T: point, D: [sum] rounds
A small green sphere of goo appears in your hand and may be thrown at enormous speed, or immediately attached to an object/creature.
Any creatures struck must Save or be stunned for 1 round. If you cast this spell outside, or in a very large room with multiple exits, you strike 1 target before the spell vanishes into the distance. If you cast this spell indoors, in a room with a limited number of exits, the sphere is trapped and begins to bounce around at high speed. The effects depend on the room size. 400 square feet or less (20'x20'): all creatures must Save or be stunned each round for the spell's duration. All objects that could be shattered or broken have a 20% chance of breaking each round. This includes potions, flimsy furniture, windows, etc. 1600 square feet or less (40'x40'): creatures have a 20% chance per round to be hit. Objects have a 10% chance of breaking each round. Any larger rooms: creatures have a 5% chance per round to be hit. Objects have a 5% chance of breaking each round. These chances may be adjusted by the GM depending on the room size and contents. If you invest 3 [dice] or more in this spell, creatures that fail their Save also take 1 damage. If you invest 4 [dice] or more, creatures that fail their Save are also knocked prone.
If the sphere is attached to an object it creates a super-bouncy surface. Weapons fly out of hands, feet bounce wildly off of floors, if you spend 2 [dice] or more you may create two attachable spheres.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

7. Pudding Polymorph Potion Prison – R: touch, T: creature, D: permanent
You make a touch attack against any ooze, slime, or jelly creature which then gets a save vs. spell at – [dice]x2. If the creature fails, it flows into an empty flask (required by the spell) and is transformed into a random potion.

*8. Thicken Air – R: 50', T: [sum]x5 squares 50' high, D: [sum] rounds
Air in an area you select becomes as dense as water. You can still breathe it, but you can also swim in it. Projectiles passing through the area count as moving twice as far for range penalties. Flying creatures entering the area must Save or be stunned for one round. If you invest 3 or more [dice] the spell's duration becomes a year and a day.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

9. Cone of Goo – R: [dice]x10' cone, T: area, D: 0
A huge cone of green-blue goo sprays from your hand. It's as dense as porridge, but tastes like play doh. Creatures inside must save vs. constitution or begin to drown unless they struggle free. Any creatures covered in the thick slime have -2 to attack until they can wash.

10. Acid Rain – R: 200', T: 20' diameter, D: [dice]
All objects in area take [sum]-[dice] acid damage per round for [dice] rounds.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

11. Jelly Baby – R: touch, T: area, D: [dice] hours
You create a 6” tall humanoid shape of living gelatin with proportional strength. Physical attacks do no damage, but force the homunculus to reform in the next round, all other types of damage will destroy it. The baby can read and write and has an effective intelligence of 8.

12. Create Ooze – R: 50', T: area, D: permanent
You permanently create an ooze, slime or jelly creature that obeys one initial command. It will leave you be unless you attack it, but only you. The creature created is determined by the number of dice used: 1 die = grey ooze, 2 dice = gelatinous cube, 3 dice = ocher jelly, 4 dice = black pudding.


Mishaps

1. Magic Dice only return to your pool on a 1-2 for 24 hours.

2. Take 1d6 damage.

3. Random mutation for 1d6 rounds, then make a save. Permanent if you fail.

4. You are slimed! You must struggle out from the goo or drown, your attacks are at -2 until you wash.

5. You continuously secrete a fluid that greases your entire body, the effect lasts one whole day. It is difficult to hold anything, walk across very smooth or very uneven surfaces, etc.

6. Everywhere you go the ground below sucks at your feet like mud for three days, your movement is halved, you are always considered flat-footed.


Dooms

1. All secretions from your body become uncontrollably acidic. All of your possessions save vs. acid each round of contact or are destroyed.

2. Your bones become the consistency of soft cartilage or rubber. You can move ¼ of your movement rate but only for your constitution score in rounds. You will probably need assistance for many actions. You are still able to cast spells, but certainly can't attack.

3. You are permanently transformed into an unintelligent slime creature.

Megadungeon: Outline of Minor Dungeon Levels and Features

The Foabeléth Ordirrex, my megadungeon, begins beneath the city of Booezor with six minor dungeons as entrances.  This is a diagram of their levels, features and connections.  Each square on the outline indicates a dungeon map (level one of the sewer is three maps large), each line a connection between maps, and each numbered node a "feature".  Beyond this diagram the minor dungeons eventually connect and continue downward for at least five more levels.
I'd like to fully write up and map the first level of each minor dungeon.  If I can accomplish that I'll see how I feel about the remaining levels, but it isn't exactly my aim to detail this whole megadungeon.  I've got a list of around fifty monsters to be illustrated and stated.





Labrynthyne (3 levels) – a quasi-extradimensional prison structure built to contain magic users. It is filled with creatures that ignore, twist, or feed on magic energies, convicts too dangerous (or hated) to kill, and beings from other planes.
(levels are randomly generated each time it is entered, connections to other areas are random)
1  Astral Passage – permanent connection to the astral plane (lvl 1).
2  The Parasite Ship – an illithid living ship from Quiddath is anchored to this reality here (lvl 2).
3  Nexus – an area of repeatedly folded space, potentially connects to various other points in the megadungeon (lvl 3).


Filth Pits / Refuse Dump (3 levels) – the size of small town and with a population of people to match, the city's dumping grounds have become their own multi-leveled ecosystem and cave complex, eventually meeting the sewers or the twin underground helical rivers.
4  Trash Town – village of monstrous freaks and lepers (lvl 1).
5  The Corpsegrounds – junction of Dump and Tomb, dumping place for bodies of the lowest class citizens (lvl 1).
6  Rusted Reef – an ecology built around the rusted hulks of ancient machinery (lvl 2).
7 Grunglegon the Glutton Wyrm's Lair – the largest and maddest of the Glutton Wyrms makes its home here (lvl 3).
 8  Sludgefalls – junction of Sewer and Dump, empties into Xeeres river which winds down to the underground sea (lvl 3).


Oldcity Sewer System (3 levels) – the functional and nonfunctional sewer systems of several iterations of the city built on top of each other. A huge mess of tunnels and chutes that spans more than twice the length of the city.
9  Sluicedweller Shafts – home to the Fasinaa Sluicedwellers, the descendants of uncivil marsh dwellers whose reactions to outsiders vary (lvl 1).
10 Oldcity Ruins – here the sewer empties through the collapsed and moldering ruins of the oldcity and creates a fetid underground lake (lvl 2).
11 Flooded Halls – junction of Sewer and Tomb, waters from the sewers flood into the tomb passages here, half-filling the halls (lvl 2).
8  Sludgefalls – junction of Sewer and Dump, empties into Xeeres river which winds down to the underground sea (lvl 3).
12 Ekkaslurem the Cistern Wyrm's Lair – the oldest of the Cistern Wyrms and god of the Troggers makes its home here (lvl 3).

Tomb of Mountain's Heart (5 levels) – its earliest parts were dug deep into the heart of the Sculpted Mountain, and the subsequent generational levels were stacked on top of each other one after another as the city grew. It occupies little horizontal space but a great deal of vertical space.
 5  The Corpsegrounds – junction of Dump and Tomb, dumping place for bodies of the lowest class citizens (lvl 1).
13 Necropolis I – the city of the dead frequented by the living mournful (lvl 1).
11 Flooded Halls – junction of Sewer and Tomb, waters from the sewers flood into the tomb passages here, half-filling the halls (lvl 2).
14 Shrine of Ris – a massive silent temple to Ris the goddess of entropy (lvl 2).
16 Sleeping Fossil Veins – junction of Tomb and Mine, the resting place of innumerable ancient creatures, their remains pressed together into undead chimera (lvl 3).
15 Necropolis II – the true city of the dead, only frequented by them (lvl 3).
17 Bone Pentagrammetricon – a great unholy device, a powerful altar for interacting with spirits of the dead (lvl 4).
18 Lich Queen's Throne – one of the elder rulers of Booezor holds her wraith court in the deepest part of the tombs (lvl 5).


Moonmetal Mine (4 levels) – silver IS magic in the “Furthest Lands”, not a currency. Occasionally silver or Moonmetal will rain down from the sky as meteorites. The most closely guarded mine on the lower slopes of Booezor's Sculpted Mountain was once a steady source of the magical metal.
19 Abandoned Shafts – the worked and emptied shafts that bore earlier lodes (lvl 1).
20 The Crystal Gallery – a tremendous crystal-lined cavern (lvl 2).
21 The Overreach (Contested Zone) – junction of Mound and Mine, a battlefield in the war between man and termite (lvl 2).
22 Active Veins – active silver veins (lvl 3).
16 Sleeping Fossil Veins – junction of Tomb and Mine, the resting place of innumerable ancient creatures, their remains pressed together into undead chimera (lvl 3).
23 Corrupted Meteorite – the resting place of an ancient meteorite filled with daemantine, dormant Metal Demons (lvl 4).

Giant Termite Mound (4 levels) – a great nest of giant termites at the base of the sculpted mountain is believed to connect to the deeper parts of the megadungeon.
24 The Sunken Tower – a mage's tower, long fallen into ruin and half swallowed by the mound (lvl 1).
25 Fungus Gardens – vast areas of fungal growth tended by the termites (lvl 2).
21 The Overreach (Contested Zone) – junction of Mound and Mine, a battlefield in the ceaseless war between man and termite (lvl 2).
26 Thliffuthand the Titan's Lair – a colossal beast like a great anteater makes its home here, it is one of the Nine Titans scattered across the continent (lvl 3).
27 Royal Chambers – the primary termite queen's area of the mound (lvl 4).

Megadungeon: The Moonmetal Mine Encounter Table (d30)

This is it, the final minor dungeon encounter table, 6/6 the Moonmetal (Magical Silver) Mine.  I actually finished a series of a thing, lookit that.  That means there's hope for completion of my playable races and the other primary encounter tables, the d100 ones.  I still have badlands, seas, general subterranean and probably a bunch more left to do.
Anyway the previous minor dungeon encounter tables are:



Moonmetal Mine (d30)
 
1. Moon Mites – flat, chrome-shelled arachnids with bolt cutter jaws, found dormant in fallen moonrocks, their bodies are incredibly hard and shatter all but the finest weapons, they now continuously plague the living creatures of the mines when new clusters are discovered.
2. Excavator Golem – powerful steel monstrosity prone to disasterous break downs and dangerous accidents, equipped with two jackhammer arms and a drill bit head.
3. EEKs – Explosive Excavation Konstructs, small ambulatory bomb creatures, they come in a range of sizes, their only attacks are a nasty bite and devastating self destruction.
4. Xyrx – creature of elemental earth, like a starfish with only three arms, there are purple gem-like eyes between each arm, and three-jawed toothy mouth opening in the center of each side, the whole creature is fifteen feet across and moves through solid rock like air hunting for delicious gemstones and rare metals.
5. Cannontail – 15' long rock-eating reptile, combines minerals in special glands and fires a kind of molten cannonball from its false head tail, migrate from the depths to here for the delicious mining scree and deposits of salts.
6. Environmental Encounter (1d4)
   1. Sinkhole – 50% collapse on themselves, 50% empty into a lower area.
   2. Warped Magic Zone – area of chaotic magical effects, some local wildlife are attracted here.
   3. Active Spirits – nature spirits here are active, driven wild with the presence of all the hidden silver, they want to madden the “invaders” with visions of the deeps.
   4. Untapped Silver Vein – hereto untouched lode of the precious moon metal silver, only about a handfull of sp worth.

7. Earth Elemental – most are bound and summoned to move stone or guard the precious veins in the tunnels.
8. Metal Mimic – able to assume the forms of metallic objects, veins of shining ore, weapons, tools, etc., at rest a dull liquid metal.
9. Slave Miners – mainly kept for the finest work, they either pick away with tiny tools at the thin veins of silver that remain or mine other metals and salt.
10. Guardian Golem (Iron) – massive humanoid construct of blackened iron, its arms are formed into giant sledgehammers that fit together to create a tower shield.
11. Guardian Golem (Steel) massive humanoid construct of burnished amask steel, it carries a masterwork steel greatspear in each hand.
12. Moonmythus Agents – unauthorized and secretive silver seekers from the Moonmythus group, suspicious of others if not downright hostile.
13. Shard Leech Scree - razor-edged stones used as the shell of a 4"-14" land mollusc, hide in areas of loose rock waiting for man size or larger prey, throw themselve en masse at a target, pierce flesh and release a mild paralytic venom, drink their fill of blood, fall out of the target, and move away from the remains.
14. Silverdust Spectre – tormented spirit seen in the swirling forms of silvery dust, swallows years of life from its victims while desperately trying to embrace them.
15. Quicksilver Serpent – thirty feet long and thick as a man, an incredibly rapid moving serpent with a thrashing whip-like tail, and a venomous bite that causes madness.
16. Metallic Ants – giant steel, copper, and gold colored ants from somewhere deep underground, while they behave much like standard giant ants, they supplement their diet with small amounts of metals, gold seems the most desirable while silver seems to be an intoxicant.
17. Noble Family Wizard (1d4) – always accompanied by a retinue of guards/golems, here to inspect their share of the mine asset.
   1. Aldabodath Clan
   2. Gaerabin Clan
   3. Nyremn Clan
   4. Primis Clan

18. Silverspine Dragon – relatively small steely-scaled wurm with rows of silvery spines down its back, along its forelimbs, and along its non-functional battering wings, it breathes a cloud of hallucinatory gas that confuses foes, and has a certain ability to pluck random useful spells from the aether that are drawn to its silvered body.
19. Giant Tamed Moles – hut-sized domesticated moles used for excavating and guarding shafts, usually accompanied by drivers with mole picks.
20. Viral Crystal – blade straight glittering crystal clusters, easily slice through clothes and skin and begin crystal infections that continue to cut and weigh down the body.
21. Fossil Chimera – several unrelated ancient animals, their remains fused into a skeletal monstrosity maddened by competing instincts, millions of years, and the magical influence of the lodes of moonmetal.
22. Whisperer - resembles a bipedal, wingless, bat about five feet tall, with the v-shaped chests and long forelimbs of a bat, but clawed hands, two of the fingers are rigid and end in large hooked claws, useful in climbing, it is intelligent and can mimic most voices and animal sounds, but is bad at creative improvisation.
23. Xiphid – person possessed by a daemantine weapon, a Metal Demon from beyond the starless blackness of the cursed season, the silver deposits in the mine call out to them and the lesser ones find themselves drawn here.
24. Guardian Demon – bound and summoned demons of violent hate, unable to interact with most beings they are aware of in the mine, their reaction to intruders is swift and disproportionate.
25. Mineral Dryads – spirits of living rock with female forms, agitated by the mining operations they trap mortals within gemstones, or lure them to their deaths.
26. Bats (1d4)
   1. Cave Stirges – blood-drinking cave animals unrelated to bats, inflict continuously bleeding wounds.
   2. Giant Bats – large predatory bats incapable of lifting a man, but will attempt to sever limbs with their wicked, oversized fangs.
   3. Carapace Bats – non-flying specialist bats who have taken the place of piercers, they hide with rocky wings folded around themselves for prey to hurl themselves into.
   4. Cloak Bats – intelligent, magic-using bats prized for their skins and wing membranes.
27. Skeletal Laborers – animate skeletons tasked with the most backbreaking work, they will attack anything interfering with their tasks.
28. Guard Bulettes – fitted with steel reinforced cranial and dorsal plating, these bulettes are set loose upon tresspassers, thieves and the occassional uncooperative (or incompetent) miners.

Megadungeon: The Labrynthyne Encounter Table (d30)

5/6 of the entry minor dungeon encounter tables for the Foabeléth Ordirrex, the megadungeon beneath Booezor.  Previous tables here, here, here, and over here.  Nearly there now, the next and last one is the Moonmetal Mine, which is more construct and humanoid-centric.



The Labrynthyne
1. Xeazeon – energy being and trap for magically talented souls, a small crystalline polygon, transparent but glowing from within, surrounded by three or more powerful wizard spirits bound into an incandescent lattice, multicasts and resists many magics.

2. Labrynthyne Tracker/Courser – biomagical constructs created to track and harry those who are trapped here, like sleek plastic dogs, they smell individual magical signatures and disable their targets at the throat and wrists.
3. Skoshola – hulking blue-grey quadrupedal beast larger in the front, like a huge bear with a cluster of fleshy petals for a head and a great mouth bisecting its chest, they seek to eat magic users above all else.
4. Dreamer – what appear to be some sort of fetal creatures, each physically different, blissfully asleep inside iridescent bubbles, they are near indestructible observational presences from another world and warp reality around their positions.
5. World Sphinx – woman and beast on a great scale, an oracle and executioner in one who reads magical fortunes with the Seeing Cards that can maim and kill.
6. Flying Eye – “evil eye” monsters, small and rapid in their chiropteran flight, they have various gaze attacks depending on their iris color.
7. Gremlin – living metamagical distortions with a dangerous and annoying sense of humor.
8. Mind Thief – a great floating mass of tentacles, jointed mouthparts, and innumerable eyes, attached to a bloated sack of a body covered with foot-long lumps, the lumps are the stolen brains of spellcasters which make the creature the natural opponent to the illithid races.
9. Ethwuu – tiny tube-snouted, armless creature, flies on the lazy flapping of several “petals” of skin around its neck, sips the magic from enchanted items and lasting spells with its hummingbird tongue.
10. Wizard Convict – powerful learned magic prodigy, dangerous or disruptive enough to the city to be banished here.
11. Census Objex Warden – special heavily outfitted member of the city's “magical authority”, generally here to interrogate or retrieve an important exile, always accompanied by two or more Coursers (2) .
12. Warder Magarchitect – master transmuter here to repair or reinforce the physical and intangible structures that make the Labrynthyne, always accompanied by several Lamellar Worms (28), necessary for the work.
