Next she will be the one who get dissolved

Slowly, and painfully while the cube explores every inch of its meal?

Technically, no. Gelatinous cubes secrete an anesthetizing slime that paralyzes their prey. She won't feel a thing, unless she has a freedom of movement spell running, in which case she can probably just pull herself free. A basic cube is not very strong.

Also, since cubes can only digest organic materials, I would guess that she was not wearing metal armor.

She could still be in mental anguish, watching as her poor body painlessly melts away before her very eyes~

The lewd is always appreciated. The clothes are always the first thing to go (which is kinda weird, considering if something can dissolve flesh, cloth would most likely survive longer than the tissue and skin, but who cares, hentai logic means we get naked chicks in Slimeg :3)

For gelatinous cubes, there are no specific rules for loss of clothing or armor, so it is a game master's (or artist's or writer's) call.

For black puddings, there is a Reflex save for armor worn by prey they are constricting, and it's a pretty nasty one. Of course, black puddings are one of the nastier oozes.

Like I said previously, d&d isn't the definitive source of canon lore for every fantasy creature :) While I don't really play it myself, so for all I know this specific gelatinous cube could be from it and play a big role, slimes are far too prevalent in fantasy to be restricted to a single game/show/movie/hentais rules.

Well, I agree, except that the gelatinous cube (and the black pudding, for that matter) originated with D&D, so it is rather the canon source for those critters.

Now, in my setting, I use a modified and renamed version of the gelatinous cube simply named the ingester. They don't necessarily conform to a cube shape if they are not squeezing down a 10' by 10' corridor; they are a gelatin that weighs tons, so how could they? Also, unlike the cubes, ingesters precipitate indigestible items—otherwise, the DC 15 Spot check to see them is silly. "Hey, guys, there's an empty suit of chainmail floating toward us. Whaddaya tbink it is?" :P

Dc 15 Spot check? Sorry, like I said I don't play it, so I haven't the foggiest what that means :)

Posted by IvesBentonEaton 7 years ago Report

Well, the following sentence sort of explains it, but if you really want to know:

DC is Difficulty Class. A Spot check is a roll on a 20-sided die with a character's Spot score added to it. If this sum is equal to or greater than the DC in question (15), then the character spotted the creature or object in question: in this case, a transparent gelatinous cube hungrily bearing down on the adventurer(s). >:D

Ok, what's a spot score? XD

Posted by IvesBentonEaton 7 years ago Report

It's the number of skill points spent to improve the skill plus the appropriate attribute score modifier (for spot, that is Wisdom) plus any racial modifiers (for example, elves get +2 on Spot and Listen scores), plus any modifiers for magic and miscellaneous stuff.

An attribute score is Strength, Constitution, Dexterity (the physical attributes), Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma (the mental attributes; Charisma is regarded more as "force of personality" more than physical beauty).

A human typically rolls three six-sided dice, totaled, for each of these. The modifier is equal to the attribute divided by two rounded down minus five, so if one has a Wisdom of 13 (a bit above average), the modifier (added to Spot and Listen and other similar skill scores) is 13 / 2 = 6.5, rounded down to 6, minus 5 for a Wisdom modifier of +1.

There's a few other things to be said about it, but I've already gone on way too much about this in a venue completely inappropriate to it. :D

Posted by Hereforvore 7 years ago Report

Oof, that's quite complicated, and that's just for basic stuff, isn't it? I've been considering going to a local club thing that sometimes plays d&d, but I get the feeling it might be a bit too much for me :)

Posted by IvesBentonEaton 7 years ago Report

Heh. Well, one doesn't have to learn it all in one sitting, or all of it ever, although it's nice if the game master does. At least, D&D only has you do stuff that you can do on a four-function calculator. I recall one game, Ringworld, whose authors decided that people wanted a game that required one to do square roots in the middle of combat. That might qualify for unnecessarily complicated…

Sorry for making your comment section a D&D tutorial. On the plus side, it all counts as comments for your art, so…yay? :P

It was entertaining, so no problem there =D
