Plasmoid 5e - Ultimate Guide for Dungeons and Dragons

Famously Amorphous

The Travelers of the Multiverse unearthed arcana seems to have finally confirmed that a 5e spelljammer book is on the way and we’ve got a bunch of new interplanar races to play with. We first saw the plasmoids way back in 2nd edition as a monster, but now they’re getting the full playable race treatment giving 5e players their very first opportunity to play oozes! These big amoebas can be human-shaped, literal blobs, or anything in-between. But how does one play as a blob? Get your microscope and hide all the disinfectant as we go through everything you need to know

For some reason I find it so cool to imagine the blob in human form wearing armor being backed into a corner, only to turn amorphous and slip through a crack, leaving the armour and weapons clattering to the floor.

What about a plasmoid circle of spores druid? Reflavor the abilities as being a more parasitic member of your species, able to break down living flesh and even assume control of humanoids with your cellular copies.

So, I already made a plasmoid and was able to get a climb speed on it. I have to say, I LOVED it. I had so much fun using it and I can't wait to see how it turns out in the end. XD

First idea that came to mind was to make Flubber from the movie. Eccentric small green ooze

For an upcoming campaign I’m playing a plasmoid Pugilist Barbarian multiclass. Tankiness of Zac from League of Legends combined with all the goodness of an unarmed grappler. I usually don’t play the strength based characters at my table, so I’m pretty excited to give this a shot. I will be working with my DM to help tune things if something seems out of hand as well. We both want to test out some of these races as well as homebrew stuff out there like the pugilist. Either way the advantage on all things grappling and being able to go unarmored at all times to take advantage of the amorphous property will be a lot of fun. I have a feeling that this will be a character that’s very MCU Groot-like, and I’m all for it.

My current plasmoid character is a bard, and their whole thing is they're a jester! They wear a mask and the rest of their body is dyed in such a manor to resemble colorful tights and they use their amorphousness to perform wacky tricks with crazy allusions and ambulations. Think courage the cowardly dog or warden from super jail

[Turtlefightclub]

I have a plasmoid character based on an OC that was basicaly just me in a sleeping bag doing a voice. His name is terry the terror. He is Chaotic/hungry and his catchphrases include
"It aint easy being an amorphous terror"
"Here i go terrorizing again"
"GIVE ME YOUR BONES"
"Oh im sooo FuLL"

plasmoid necromancer that rides around on a skeleton
"I used to be an adventurer like you, till I stepped in slime up to my knee."

[misterc]

I'd love to play an unarmed echo knight that is basically a slime splitting via mitosis. One of us grapples the foe, the other punches them

[Peason]

I will say that writing a plasmoid is quite fun. My dude got kidnapped by a wizard escaped with a bunch of wizardry stuff and found a human town to live in

[reversalring]

I feel keeping darts as a last resort weapon could be really useful for plasmoids characters. Even though the rulebooks don't mention their width, I believe darts should pass through a 1" gap.

[Dragon_Song]

The thing is, I’m really excited about this race, I mean lineage. 😅

Though I do think this is going to be a banned race.

[krumpits]

Im making a plasmoid alchemist that is basically an experiment become sentient. And the psudopod works great flavored as a tail! Also i wouldnt say the squeeze through gaps as wide as an inch is too game breaking. An inch is quite large when it comes to buildings and i dont think it would be so common it would be broken.

[Halinspark]

Small size Battlesmith/Cavalier. The Steel Defender is a skeleton and you ride inside the body and attack out of it. Not mechanically much different from riding on something, but is mildly more unsettling visually.

[marshabrew]

I'm working on a Plasmoid Hexblade Warlock/Swashbuckler Rogue and taking the Mask of Many Faces invocation so I can cast Disguise Self every hour to maintain a more common appearance. Then for added fun, I could scare people by turning into a blob.

[hyko]

Beast barbarian blob: NOWHERE IS SAFE.

The spiky angry ooze is coming to get ya

[Carspeedanimator]

When a race takes when there’s a hole there’s a goal to a whole new level 💀

[coolcoolercoolest]

Plasmoid necromancer made out of magically animated blood.

[summermermaidstar]

When this is out in an official book, I may make a glittery rainbow slime warlock.
As for the patron? Either hexblade, genie, or fathomless.

[BaeBunni]

I'm thinking Way of Shadow Monk, slipping into a door cast silence or darkness then open the door and let everyone in, lmao no DM is gonna like that.
