The Vorpal Tribble
12-28-05, 05:32 PM I'm working on an unusual NPC where one of the abilities is to be able to add special groundcovers to their Summon list such as Snowflake Lichen from Frostburn.

I know I've read about others, like special mosses and alge or whatnot such as you find underground... but I'm thinking it may have been 2nd ed. Anyone know of anything like this? Things that are not so much monsters as living obstacles.

12-28-05, 06:45 PM Well, 2e had Obliviax, the Memory Moss, which is updated to 3.0 in the Tome of Horrors, Olive Slime, which turned you into a zombie of sorts, also updated in the ToH, Flareaters, intelligent, light-eating green slimes, Sonic and Chromatic Mold, which killed you, and I don't remember how, seeing as how I have misplaced the book they were in. Then there was the Carapace, but that's more of a creature than a hazard.

I like this idea Vorpal.

Hrmmm, except they move about, have natural attacks, etc...

One of the books I don't have but do want... does it give a challenge rating?

I like this idea Vorpal.
