Answers to questions that are anticipated to be asked or have been asked frequently:
Q: If a slime shapes wings can they fly?
A: No, the act of trying to flap wings would do little more than scatter bits of slime everywhere.
Q: Can a slime swim?
A: Yes, slimes OTHER THAN RED can fully submerge in water safely
Q: Why can't red slimes swim?
A: Red slime are hotter and more volcanic in nature. SO a red slime submerging in water would produce steam and cause them physical harm at a rate of 1d4 straight damage per round they are submerged which will cause their core to go dormant if they reach 0 RPHP and require volcanic lava to regenerate.
Q: If a Slime slime is acidic in nature, can they dissolve metals?
A: Only black slimes can dissolve metals, the other slimes acid isnt of the right make to work on metals.
Q: Can slimes digest other living creatures or players?
A: If a slime attempts to digest another living creature or player that did something stupid like stick their hand or other extremity into the slime and the slime attempts to digest it the player rolls a DC15 Fortitude save or suffer a 1d4 acid burn for the first round. If it continues past one round each following round another DC15 Fort save is attempted, each failed save is an additional 1d4 acid damage to a max of 3d4 acid damage. If target armor is also in the acid of a black slime it can put on their armor giving them -2 AC until it's repaired. If digestion is made as a combat action the slime must first successfully grapple its opponent by following all the rules of grappling. (Damage based on a scaling version of acid blast with no bonus modifiers)
Q: I see slimes have a taste under their help files. Does this mean they can be eaten?
A: Anything can be eaten if you're brave enough. The real question should be, is it wise to try and eat slime?
Q: Is it wise to eat slime?
A: Not really, it would be like eating exotic jell-O and long term ingestion has unknown results.
