For some reason I find it so cool to imagine the blob in human form wearing armor being backed into a corner, only to turn amorphous and slip through a crack, leaving the armour and weapons clattering to the floor.

What about a plasmoid circle of spores druid? Reflavor the abilities as being a more parasitic member of your species, able to break down living flesh and even assume control of humanoids with your cellular copies.

First idea that came to mind was to make Flubber from the movie. Eccentric small green ooze

I'd love to play an unarmed echo knight that is basically a slime splitting via mitosis. One of us grapples the foe, the other punches them

So, I already made a plasmoid and was able to get a climb speed on it. I have to say, I LOVED it. I had so much fun using it and I can't wait to see how it turns out in the end. XD

For an upcoming campaign I’m playing a plasmoid Pugilist Barbarian multiclass. Tankiness of Zac from League of Legends combined with all the goodness of an unarmed grappler. I usually don’t play the strength based characters at my table, so I’m pretty excited to give this a shot. I will be working with my DM to help tune things if something seems out of hand as well. We both want to test out some of these races as well as homebrew stuff out there like the pugilist. Either way the advantage on all things grappling and being able to go unarmored at all times to take advantage of the amorphous property will be a lot of fun. I have a feeling that this will be a character that’s very MCU Groot-like, and I’m all for it.

The thing is, I’m really excited about this race, I mean lineage. 😅 Though I do think this is going to be a banned race.

My current plasmoid character is a bard, and their whole thing is they're a jester! They wear a mask and the rest of their body is dyed in such a manor to resemble colorful tights and they use their amorphousness to perform wacky tricks with crazy allusions and ambulations. Think courage the cowardly dog or warden from super jail

plasmoid necromancer that rides around on a skeleton "I used to be an adventurer like you, till I stepped in slime up to my knee."

Im making a plasmoid alchemist that is basically an experiment become sentient. And the psudopod works great flavored as a tail! Also i wouldnt say the squeeze through gaps as wide as an inch is too game breaking. An inch is quite large when it comes to buildings and i dont think it would be so common it would be broken.

I feel keeping darts as a last resort weapon could be really useful for plasmoids characters. Even though the rulebooks don't mention their width, I believe darts should pass through a 1" gap.

Small size Battlesmith/Cavalier. The Steel Defender is a skeleton and you ride inside the body and attack out of it. Not mechanically much different from riding on something, but is mildly more unsettling visually.

I will say that writing a plasmoid is quite fun. My dude got kidnapped by a wizard escaped with a bunch of wizardry stuff and found a human town to live in

Plasmoid necromancer made out of magically animated blood.

I'm working on a Plasmoid Hexblade Warlock/Swashbuckler Rogue and taking the Mask of Many Faces invocation so I can cast Disguise Self every hour to maintain a more common appearance. Then for added fun, I could scare people by turning into a blob.

I have a plasmoid character based on an OC that was basicaly just me in a sleeping bag doing a voice. His name is terry the terror. He is Chaotic/hungry and his catchphrases include "It aint easy being an amorphous terror" "Here i go terrorizing again" "GIVE ME YOUR BONES" "Oh im sooo FuLL"

Beast barbarian blob: NOWHERE IS SAFE. The spiky angry ooze is coming to get ya

This was a very informative guide and the presentation was well said. Keep up the good. 👍

Plasmoid beast barbarian, Pretty much just venom but without a host

I’m definitely build a hexblade t-1000

I'm thinking Way of Shadow Monk, slipping into a door cast silence or darkness then open the door and let everyone in, lmao no DM is gonna like that.

I feel like I want a plasmoid wildfire druid... I think I'll work on that.

a fun idea i thought of, in the same vein as warlocks with pact weapon, is eldritch knight. You can cast mage armor and you can teleport your weapon to you, so you can always be ready for battle

Cool stuff! You say that this is a lineage, but looking at the UA page, it says that this is a race, as are the other five options. In fact, only the Van Richten options seem to be lineages, so I don't understand where you're getting your definition of Race/Lineage from.

I was blissfully unaware of this UA until today and now i am cursed with some many questions, at least it's not that much of a wait until the Spelljammer book where we can see how shape they take (i assume) ;) But yeah i can see how you can easily abuse a Plasmoids Aberrant Mind Sorcerer tho. squeeze through a crack in the wall, use Psionic Sorcery feature to cast Summon Aberration, do not elaborate, leave back thru the crack in the wall (while they suffer a Beholderkin attack).

When this is out in an official book, I may make a glittery rainbow slime warlock. As for the patron? Either hexblade, genie, or fathomless.

When a race takes when there’s a hole there’s a goal to a whole new level 💀

I just made one as an NPC for a starjammer campaign I'm running for some friends. I've already healed someone using healing word with a pseudopod.

I’m playing a plasmoid rogue that is going to be taking the soul knife subclass at 3rd. Can’t wait to start hucking psychic daggers at people. Also, it makes me a psychic grey ooze! 😊

I’m making a plasmoid armorer that inhabits the armor to keep it’s shape. Idk about backstory yet though

A couple of questions. Can you use your pseudopod to make a set of makeshift handcuffs? How effective would it be? I know it can't hold or lift more than 10 pounds. But how does that apply to restraining? Can you give your pseudopod instructions to move and look more like a snake. Can you use your pseudopod as a makeshift trip line? How long does it take to break down 1 pound of nutrients? If I just ate a meal chances are I probably can't slip through a 1 inch hole. Can I goo myself into a lock and picket it? Or what I still require lock picking tools? Could I use the soul knife ability to create constructs for me to slip around in? I like the idea of spinning around in the shape of a top with construct blades along my outer edges. What is the reach maximum reach of my 4 appendages?

Played a ooze bard in a monster campaign based it on meatwad from ATHF it was the most fun character I have ever played so hype to bring this in 5e

I’m a plasmoid Impractical Weaponry Fighter in our campaign and I literally don’t have to carry any weapons with me. I finished off a bandit captain by tongue-tying two frogs together and using them as nunchucks! Don’t have to worry about leaving my weapons behind either because the world is my weapon

Plasmoids are technically capable of the most single turn damage in all of dnd. 1. Build a character for grappling and movement speed. (540ft-24000ft per turn is current max based on various factors like available magic items/party comp.) 2. Spike growth at low level, prismatic wall at high level. 3. Grapple as many creatures as possible that are 2 sizes lower than you. (Plasmoids can technically grow infinite arms so this is only limited by max drag weight) 4. Use all movement to drag through spike growth (average of 5 magical piercing damage without any saves per 5 feet) or to drag into and out of prismatic wall (7 saving throws per 2 inches, one of which turns all subsequent saves into automatic fails, and average of 35 damage of various types per save.) TLDR: grapple up to your carrying capacity and supersonic sandpaper hundreds of enemies with minimum damage in the hundreds per enemy at low levels, and tens of millions at high levels, all rules as written without any ambiguity.

What would happen if you absorb clear dye?

College of Whispers Bard/Warlock multiclass with _mask of many faces_ along with the Whispers disguise abilities. *They are the monster within.* It's just a question of Hexblade for being able to summon a weapon and do damage burst to ambush lone victims, as well as the EldritchArmour invocation so you can don armour in an action, for impersonating guards perfectly. Or going Great Old Ones to have fun with _Awakened Mind_ games and mind control, and also to give the rest of the Party the heads up as to who you're currently impersonating should you cross paths. And in a conventional Party combat as long as there's some form of Telepathy in the Party to avoid friendly fire, you can sneak round and kill the enemies at the rear, maybe even get close to the squishies. And just cause mayhem because they've got to check each other constantly, or you get to take cheap shots at them.

I plan to play a bounty hunter grappling slime who uses its bonus action pseudopod to manacle opponents.

Man I really wonder how far you could take the "Shape self" thing. Would be really cool if you could be imaginative and be rewarded for it

My new character is a small grapple ooze. an angry little flubber that launches itself at people. at lvl3 taking rune knight. seems odd sure, but flying through the air and turning large half way to the target? yes please.

I’m currently in the process of making a plasmoid gunslinger and we added a lot of modern guns but I could take all the suggestions and help I can get for this new character

I made a plasmoid rogue named Sawse. They like to steal all the shiny objects and "is a normal human person being with a skin condition". They also talk in third person and have an intelligence of -2 but a +4 in charisma so they have a funny way of talking as a result

i made a plasmoid ranger with swarm keeper subclass. and the swarm theme is more slime. picked faceless background to disguise as a peasant while in cities, and took the roleplaying opportunity to act really weird because their charisma is 6. that made for a funny introductory session as the rest of the party figured me out, and i trust it will make for more fun rp moments of acting chaotic chaotic

We're playing a kingdom hearts inspired campaign and I'm playing a plasmoid monk descendant of Flubber. My dm invented an item that I attuned with that gives me a 60ft range on unarmed attacks as long as i don't move beforehand. And I have a custom subclass that I can use a ki point to double my stretchy range, making that into 120ft. Or at level 11 I can turn into a gelatinous cube. 😀

For my dm's next game I'm planning on making a Plasmoid monk based on Android 21 from DBZ

How much fine dexterity does a Plasmoid have? Could it pick a lock or disarm a trap? Would it matter what form it's in? Also how much control does it have over it's form? Can it be a chair? A boat? A backpack? Could it flatten itself out?

To be fair, this is basically playing as Kirby but with camouflage options. And bigger, because Kirby is only 8 inches tall.

Plasmoid mutant monk of the way of four elements, working for the Simic Combine on Ravnica. An elf scientist who made an experiment which went wrong. It would be awesome, am I right?

Hehehehehe goes from being grappled to choking the grappler...

I can't wait to start my space faring flubber character.

It should be noted, you can use "That Time I Was Reincarnated As A Slime" as an anime to see how you could play an intelligent slime.

I home brewed a Myconid race by taking the Hill Dwarf & swapping its armor & weapon features with Rapport Spores & Sunlight Sensitivity.

i gotta assume right now the humanoid shape things is gonna be explained by conservation of mass but i think they should change it too

I saw a few interesting combinations: Astral monk - popular choice Beast Barbarian Fathomless Warlock Creation Bard Divine Soul Sorcerer Spores Druid Alchemist/Armorer Artificer Soul Knife Rogue Rune Knight Fighter No love for Wizard or Ranger yet, but I’m sure someone will think of something

Created a plasmoid rogue named bloop havent gotten to use them yet but i will tonight

Time to build ditto in 5e

I thought this was a stellaris race video I just saw Plasmoids

I definitely want to play a slightly Homebrew version of this Basically they polluted plasmoid They lose some abilities that a regular plasmoid have but in turn they gained a few extra Like for instance they are immune to water and can even be healed by it but are very very vulnerable to anything that can try them out fire lightning xcetera And of course being polluted they have a harder time slipping through cracks than regular slimes on top of the fact that they also smell absolutely terrible with a tar like substance that they're made out of The makeup for this they have an acid spray and if they drop everything on them and flatten out into a disc if it can fly short distances using this acid spray as propulsion But again this is only for short distances for as long as they can use their spray for They also are likely unable to wield weapons made with any form of organic material because they are highly acidic to anyting made of flesh wood ect but have no effect against unorganic materials Basically they give up some of they're amorphous capabilities for being able to do more damage and having slightly more mobility thanks to temporary flight But again though it is scenario that could dry out a slime this guy is at his weakest such as if he's in the middle of a forest fire He might be able to consume the carbon even though it's not fully organic but with all of his water being dried out from the fire he would die For those who get the reference yes it is the smog monster from Godzilla versus monster also known as hedorah

Im trying to make a plasmoid swashbuckler rogue, hehehe it's gonna be weird but cool

I think a sponge bob type character would work perfectly for this race

as a plamoid could you wear people?.. like enter inside them for up to and hour?

I am building a Plasmoid Blade Pact Fiend Warlock focused on Fire, Necrotic, Poison and Acid. That's right... I built Hexxus...

I thought the psudopod was detachable when i read the description

why do normal oozes use their pseudopod to attack but this playable one not?

I would probably make a beast barbarian plasmanoid

after a year, I'm saddened how little plasmoid content there is. Although I'm a forever DM, I have played a plasmoid in a one shot. It was fun, I went Monk Rogue no gear at all, and played into just a blue goo in a bucket most of the time. They had sneak through the roof, could break and enter anywhere, and unarmed combat was not an issue.

I have a symbiote character that resides within the gut of my main character, which aids in digestion in turn of the darkness and the warmth of the insides of their body, so I might be able to add them along with him into a campaign as a duo. Two truly exotic friends

Plasmoid cat girl, yes I am a weeb. Also making them a warlock, specifically genie.

Couple the 10' pole with your not-tenticle for some real carefulness and take a whip for a weapon so it can go through cracks after you. Unarmored defense is better than armor so for martial be monk, barbarian, or rogue.

I can be slime buddy YAAAAAAAH!!!!

A better background would be the drasalite from StarFrontiers

I’m not a bad slime.

Is this the same as Gothic Lineages in the sense that you can start as another race and the transition later in the campaign?

I honestly wish I was a plasmoid

I'm going to make an assassin plasmid that sneaks through cracks and keyholes to escape and infiltrate, and maybe suffocates the victim by crawling into their Airway

I built a plasmoid similar to Majin Buu from dragon ball - my dm hates my Monk ooze!

Plasmoid Soulknife here. I was made to be an assassin.

I'm about to play a plasmoid wu jen mystic

That would be awesome if the had blind sense instead

it's nowhere as broken as flying at level 1. I would change that 60 feet of darkvision with an amount of blindsight and specify that the ooze is blind beyond that.

I want to make a plasmoid who can make itself look just like a human just all colored like my favorite color glowing neon green as a short reference to how I'm thinking imagine any character and color them the ooze color hair and all and instead of individual strands of hair it's more like big spiky blobs and its mostly feature less body you can see a mouth and nose and what's suppose to be eyes but no detail especially in the eyes also the mouth has what looks like teeth and a tongue and that thing in the back of your mouth also I want it to fake having clothing imagine some dude in a trench coat like jacket that instead of the bottom ends just falling cause of gravity they kinda floats to the side same color as the character edit you can make the psuedopod a tail based off the writing not specifying from where

Just turn your hand into a key easy

I'm going to do a Plasmoid Inquisitive Rouge basically Slime Girl Treasure Hunter. Scratch that in the Lost Mine of Phandelver campaign I got invited to I'm doing a Plasmoid Horizon Walker Ranger basically same concept Slime Girl Treasure Hunter and I convinced my DM to let me swap Darkvision for Natural Armor the reason why I'm going with Natural Armor was because I want to play with the idea that Plasmoids like all oozes/slimes have a malleable, adaptable, gelatinous body plus I thought Natural Armor pairs up better with Amorphous.

Time to find a way to exploit this like I always do

*lookst my ooze place that has a pit of ozzes that are meant to slip through cracks in the floor to attack players* Me as a DM: Fffffuck

Yo I'm a barbaric Plasmoid without armor so I'm going into the team8te armor to protect me and them 😂😂

We aren't a slime or ooze, this is clearly based on being an amoeba.

Detective Mark Mallard. Private Investigator. Plasmoid. Rogue. This guy likes to use his unpredictable shape and actions to work within the law and bring people to justice ⚖️ .

:) my friend is gonna not have a good time

For Dms wanting to buff a plasmoid player. I homebrew a trait where the plasmoid's body acts as a bag of holding where they can stuff items in themselves and spit it out when needed. If you think its too broke, you can set up encumbrance that halves their walking speed.
