The Boomsticks of Denethix

I elaborated some thoughts on how the guns currently made in Denethix actually work, and ended up with my own set of stats for these things.  The document describing all this is here.

The Computerized Cube

I'm always interested in ways of integrating traditional D&D critters into the ASE.  Here's one I came up with....

Computerized Cube
When a gelatinous cube engulfs a robot, it can not fully digest the robot.  If the robot cannot escape the cube, over time the superconducting nature of the cube (immune to lightning, recall) causes a strange transformation to take place.  The robot's mind merges with the ooze nature of the cube to produce a new creature, the computerized cube. When encountered, the appearance is that of a robot frame floating in mid-air, with electric pulses and bits of wire and circuitry flowing through it.

Attacks for 2d4/paralysis plus 1d6 electric shock
Ranged attack: plasma cannon
save F5
 
Computerized cubes retain some of the robot's intelligence.  They often seek to add additional technological items to themselves to augment their powers.  Most retain the single-minded aggressiveness of their cube nature, but others may have larger plans in mind.  They all have some telepathic ability to command 'normal' gelatinous cubes and other unintelligent ooze creatures.

Intro

Just a small blot...er "blog" on the internet for me to post ideas about D&D and its progeny,  The focus, for now, is on my Anomalous Subsurface Environment campaign.
