Chamber board and 24 special one inch Gelatinous Cubes are part of the
limited edition Gelatinous Cube Checker Set.
Emerald Ooze
Armor Equivalent to Leather
Hit Points: The number of skulls on the top of the Cube x 11
Speed: 15 ft.
Size: 10 x 10 x 10 feet
Immune to all conditions that would affect humans or animals
Highly corrosive to flesh, this acid Cube has an unusual magnetic pull that can draw metal
objects to it. To retrieve an object from the Cube or to escape the Cube once consumed by it,
players must pass a medium difficulty dexterity or equivalent roll. This Cube causes acid burns
equivalent to your system. Emerald Ooze and Molten Magma can work together in packs. Weak
to fire and psyonic spells.
Attacks - Base attack is firing Spawn Cube projectile for 1D6 damage. Spawn explodes on impact.
Slush - Melee swipe of thick green acid that burns flesh and steals metal objects. Roll 1D4 for
each skull on the side of the Cube facing the target for damage. Adjacent targets get splashed
for half that damage if attack is successful.
Magnetic Pull - All metal objects within 10 +2D6 feet are pulled to the Cube with the strength
of a high level monster. High strength saves can counter this attack.
Reverse Magnetism - Cube can focus on a target’s metal object and magnetize it for 1D12
minutes, allowing the Cube to launch other metal object from inside it like swords, shields, and
battle axes to the newly magnetized item.
Magnetic Projectile - Massive Cube uses magnetic force to control Spawns, causing targets to get
stuck inside the Spawns. Targets are immobilized and consumed up to 5x5x5 feet and take 1D4
damage per round until freed. Spawn must be destroyed to free target. Massive Gel can move
Spawns while players are inside Spawns for deadly bumper-cube rides.
Birth - Up to three times per battle, roll 1D4 and place that many Spawn Cubes adjacent to
the Massive Gelatinous.
Spawns The Massive can spawn smaller versions of itself. Always roll Spawn Cubes like
dice before placing them into the game. Place Spawns adjacent to Massive.

Hit Points: The number of skulls on the top of the Cube
Speed: The number of skulls on the top of the Cube
Immune to all human or animal conditions.
Attacks
Slight Slush - Melee swipe of thick green acid that burns flesh and steals metal objects. The
number of skulls on the side that faces its target is the damage the target takes.
Molten Magma
Speed: 15 ft.
Magma Cubes will melt just about anything including metal. They are so hot that normal beings
cannot stand adjacent to them for over 5 seconds without protection. Massives and Spawns will
work in tandem to trap targets and melt them alive. Emerald Ooze and Molten Magma can work
together in packs. To retrieve an object from the Cube or to escape the Cube once consumed by
it, players must pass a medium difficulty dexterity or equivalent roll. Weak to ice-like and psyonic
spells.
Fire Swipe - Melee damage of 1D6 +Fire. Anything on fire attracts Spawns to them.
Lava Ball - Projectile equivalent to your system’s fireball spell. Can perform this attack 3 times
per battle.
Geyser - 5x5 foot geyser opens in floor only spraying each time the Massive Gelatinous takes
damage. Sprays magma 5 +1D6 feet in a circle for 1D4 damage.
Trails - Cube leaves behind 10 foot wide fiery trails that can create snaking obstacles.

Attacks
Hot Slider - A ram attack of 30 +2D12 feet with damage of 1D4 +Fire. Rammed targets can
also be dragged. The Spawn also ricochets if it hits an obstacle, sliding in the direction with
the most skulls on that side until it hit an object.
Column - Spawns will stack up to six high and spit small fireballs from the tallest cube. For
every Cube the column is tall, that’s how much damage each fireball does. Range = 15 feet per
Cube.
Boiling Blood
Special Ability - A Queen Blood can spawn Illuminated Spawns that quickly grow into
Massive Illuminated Cubes within 5+1D6 minutes if they are not killed. If you want
your Blood Cube to be a Queen, just decide that at the beginning of the encounter.
Armor Equivalent to Flesh
Speed: 15 ft.
A huge hot brick of twisted muscle and bloody sinew. Bile bubbles to the top of the mass,
popping and busting. This beast stinks and will cause nausea if smelled. To retrieve an object
from the Cube or to escape the Cube once consumed by it, players must pass a medium difficulty
dexterity or equivalent roll. Weak to melee attacks, fire, and most spells.
Popped Boil - A bubble grows on the side of the Cube and bursts, splashing adjacent targets
with boiling hot bile. Damage of 1D6 and the targets must roll constitution or equivalent to
avoid vomiting. Each time this Cube uses this attack, another bubble forms on the opposite
side. If anyone attacks that side, a failed attack busts that boil for the same effect.
Gush - A thick gushing column of blood rockets from the Cube’s side. It causes no damage
other than the force of which it hits, equivalent to an unarmed melee hit from a medium level
creature. Targets are covered in gore and will be pushed 25 +3D6 feet.
Blood Sickness - Cube leaks a puddle that surrounds it on all sides for 5 feet in every
direction. Anything that touches that puddle has hemophilia for the rest of the battle and can
bleed out easily. Once the Massive Gelatinous is destroyed, this condition is cured.

Attacks
Squirter - A thin stream of hot and toxic blood squirts out from the cube. Range 10 feet.
Damage 1D4. Smells like baked urine and charred hair.
Blood Boost - If a Spawn attaches itself to a Massive Gelatinous, the Massive gains +2 to all
rolls and attacks until that Spawn is destroyed. More than one Spawn can attach at the same
time.
Rotten Miasma
Speed: 15 ft.
A jiggling mass of somewhat dissolved and rotted victims, all of which formed a diseased stew.
They are easier to kill than other Cubes, but no less deadly. Exposure to this jelly can cause
chronic illness. To retrieve an object from the Cube or to escape the Cube once consumed by it,
players must pass a medium difficulty dexterity or equivalent roll. Weak to melee attacks, fire,
and most spells.
Chunks - Cube lobs partly dissolved rotten chunks of meat and body parts at targets. Some
chunks still have loot stuck to them. Damage 1D6.
Lump Buster - Cube lays a bloated mass of flesh on the ground that burst in 1D6 minutes.
It sprays botulism-laden bits in all directions for 10 feet causing difficulty breathing, muscle
paralysis, and possible death.
Lasting Gift - Once attacked with any weapon, small particulates of this Cube will cling to it.
If the weapon is not cleaned off, there is a chance that whoever wields it can contract incurable
leprosy.

Attacks
Tiny Cuts - Spawns collect small weapons like daggers and bolts so they can fire them at
victims. Damage equivalent to thrown weapon in your system.
Head - Spawns can sit on top of a Massive Gelatinous and take damage for the Massive while
firing small weapons from their center.
Illuminated
Special Ability - Any other Cube type that is within the glowing radius of an Illuminated
Cube will have +2AC. Once the Illuminated Cube’s glow fades, this ability is gone. Spawns
provided +1 to within glow radius AC. Similarly, any dark/black magic user who is aligned
with the Cubes will gain these bonuses when within the glow.
Armor Equivalent to chainmail
Speed: 15 ft.
As magic eater, the Illuminated Gelatinous hunts wizards and other magic users. The numerous
spells that it has consumed make it glow in the dark with eerie light. To retrieve an object from
the Cube or to escape the Cube once consumed by it, players must pass a medium difficulty
dexterity or equivalent roll. Illuminated Cubes have been known to travel with Blood and
Miasma Cubes. No known weaknesses.
Re-Leveler - Choose a low to mid level projectile spell from your system that this Massive
Gelatinous can cast.
Spell Suck - Cube will attempt to draw out all spells from nearby magic users, using these
spells against the party. For every five minutes of battle, a new spell is randomly sucked and
this Cube can instantly cast it.
Marked - Spits a blob of glowing ooze that sticks to a target, marking them for Spawns to
attack. Once marked, the target is -1 to all physical stats and physical roll saves for entire
battle. Marked targets cannot sneak or hide.
Generator - Illuminated Cubes can generate all other forms of Cubes. They can do this twice
per battle.
Deep Radiation - Radiated material clings to this Cube and will seep into bodies if the battle
goes on for too long. After half an hour of exposure, most unprotected beings will have some
level of radiation sickness or chronic illness.

Attacks
Re-Leveler - Choose a low level projectile spell from your system that this Massive Gelatinous
can cast.
Charged Column
Speed: 5 ft.
Charged Columns consist of a Blood or Miasma Cube on top of an Illuminated Cube. Although
slower, this Cube uses all the stats of both Cubes, but will weaken as the illuminated Cube dims.
Once dimmed, only the top Blood or Miasma Cube’s attacks are active.
No known weaknesses.
Top Cube’s attack range is +10 feet.
While bottom Cube is illuminated, nothing can stand adjacent to it without taking 1D6 damage
each time that player actives.
Advanced Head Hunter (Boss)
Speed: 15 ft.
Much like the Illuminated Gelatinous, this Cube hunts wizards and other magic users, taking
their heads as well as all the spells they learned over their lifetime. This Cube can embody the
sentient soul or energy of a previously fallen enemy who is seeking revenge. An Advanced Head
Hunter can be any type of Cube: Ooze, Magma, Miasma, Blood, Illuminated, etc. To retrieve an
object from the Cube or to escape the Cube once consumed by it, players must pass a medium
difficulty dexterity or equivalent roll. No known weaknesses.
Tentacled Beams - Cube grows tentacles with skulls at the tips, allowing it to blast cutting
beams around corners and over obstacles. 1D8 Damage +Fire. Multiple concentrated beams
can explode stone and melt metal.
Organ Sack- Cube has encased a snaking track of intestine attached to a cluster of preserved
kidneys from the magic users it has consumed. Opening a small hole in its side, it will move
an intestine to the opening and squirt concentrated poison. Range 15 feet. Poison = system’s
highest toxic poison.
Spell-Breaker- Cube’s skulls chant in endless cycles, breaking the concentration of any magic
user casting a spell. Can use once per battle can lasts 1D20 minutes.
Tentacle Grab- Skulls on the ends of tentacles slither out from the Cube to grab and quickly
pull targets inside the vile mass. If the tentacle is cut, the skull drops and is no longer part of
the Cube. The Cube also loses whatever spells that were “inside” that skull from the previously
consumed magic user.
Advanced Re-Leveler - Choose several mid to high level spells from your system that this
Massive Gelatinous can cast.
Spell Suck - Cube will attempt to draw out all spells from nearby magic users, using these spell
against the party. For every five minutes of battle, a new spell is randomly sucked and this
Cube can instantly cast it. A magic user who gets this spell sucked from them cannot use that
spell until the Head Hunter is destroyed.
Saw - Once per battle, the Cube can blast beams from all four sides’ skulls (excluding top)
while spinning in a circle for 15 seconds. Each blast causes 1D8 damage.
Tortured Scream - If the Cube is cornered or in peril, it can let out a high pitches screeching
of all the captured magic users it has consumed. Targets within 50 feet collapse from the ear-
splitting sound. Lasts 1D4 minutes and Cube can move out of harm’s way.
