Gelatinous Cube/Rust Monster?
« on: September 21, 2011, 03:49:57 AM »
I'm not sure if this is the kind of thing I can post in the Inspiration Strikes forum, since I'm not actually posting the monster...

But has anyone ever made a monstrous hybrid of the rust monster and the gelatinous cube? Like... a gelatinous rust monster? Not a rust-inflicting cube, but the other way around.

you could apply that one gelatinous template in one of the books to a rust monster

I suppose I could...

Glargh. I dislike the picture, though. It turns me off to the whole template.

Go on Gelbooru, search for goo girl pics, find the one that you like the most and imagine that it's a human girl with gelatinious template. That should help. ;)

The picture isn't meant to be taken seriously, the sample monster is a joke.  It's a gummi bear.  :D

I think a half rust dragon gelatinous cube or a gelatinous rust dragon would be more entertaining than going with the mere rust monster, myself.

Or you could just go for Melona from Queen's Blade - replace her acid attack with a rust attack, and you're good to go^^

I take it that this would give much the same results as doing a google image search for bukake?

Quite a lot of them are rather cute actually.

It's also a little cold because of that.

I wish I could read your mind,

"Just what do you think the moon up in the sky is? Everyone sees that big, round shiny thing and thinks there must be something round up there, right? That's just silly. The truth is much more awesome than that. You can almost never see the real Moon, and its appearance is death to humans. You can only see the Moon when it's reflected in things. And the things it reflects in, like water or glass, can all be broken, right? Since the moon you see in the sky is just being reflected in the heavens, if you tear open the heavens it's easy to break it~"

half rust dragon gelatinous cube

Sir, I am afraid I must inform you that this defeats the purpose. I'm aiming for nightmare fuel, not high octane nightmare fuel.

Then follow the template exactly and give it the energy (acid, in a rust dragon's case) breath of the parent dragon.  Deviating from the template slightly to give it the metal-corroding breath instead would be more fun, though (not so much for the PCs).  You could really be a jerk if you gave it the Rusting Bite and Rusting Scales abilities too.

I never understood Gygax's preoccupation with killer Jell-O, and WotC seems to have an unhealthy, almost fetishy fixation with oozes...  :nonono
I'm surpised they don't have something like exactly what you want!

I don't know if the designers meant you to take Skill Focus for every feat.
Sounds a little OP.

The monk is clearly the best class, no need to optimize here. What you are doing is overkill.

It's like people who have no idea what a turn signal is. They ruin it for everyone else.
When another driver brandishes a holy symbol and begins glowing with divine light, seek cover or get spattered with zombie brains. I do not see what is so complicated about this.
