09-03-06, 05:51 AM I have had a request from a player to play an awakened ooze, specifically, an awakened living spell. I'm not terribly experienced at judging LAs for my oozy friends, and I was wondering if the experienced minds on this board could aid me. What would be the LA for an awakened ooze? He's specifically looking for an acidburst (acid-substituted fireburst)/ Evard's black tentacles living spell, but as the DM I may be happier with just a simple gelatinous cube or something. :)

09-06-06, 01:31 PM I'd say +2 is fair, just keep in mind that the living tentecals is going to have a 19 str (in spell description) unless you change it. Also are you going to allow your pc to roll his stats or just use the ones on the MM3 stat blocks? that might be something that raises the LA to +3. Grappeling is fun though. After rethinking the ooze can't use equipment so yea +2 should be good (unless you let it have vow of poverty)
