Ancient Beings
Slimes are one of the oldest races on record, but the vast
majority lack even the most primitive thought process beyond
an endless drive to consume. Many lurk in the deepest
dungeons of the realm, waiting to stumble upon their next
meal, while others hop around on the surface, consuming
whatever organic material they see fit. For whatever reason,

becoming a medium one expends 10, and so on.You can't

consumed with your Devouring Mass trait, and you revert to
your natural form if you die or fall unconscious. You decide
what you look like, including your height, weight, facial
features, the sound of your voice, coloration, hair length, and
any other distinguishing features. Additionally, you always
bear a general resemblance, as well as maintain the same sex
as the individual you consumed to gain the mimicry. You may
choose to change into a creature up to two sizes larger than
you, or one size smaller, in which case you receive the
bonuses and penalties associated with your new size

the above criteria, but you will not gain any of its abilities or
stats.
