A blobby, cell-like humanoid summons elemental fire in one flexible pseudopod. The text reads "Amoeboid: A fluid, shape-shifting, oozelike species for Dark Matter"
A banner ad for the Dark Matter Kickstarter asks you to learn more at scifi5e.com
Amoeboids are intelligent, vaguely humanoid-shaped oozes that can mimic the form of any creature they touch. These beings dwell on Maw stations, experimenting at the cutting edge of science and parlaying with any creature they encounter.
Fluid Anatomy
Amoeboid bodies are composed of a translucent jellylike substance with a complex network of nerves visible throughout, emitting a dim light. They range in color from blues and purples to bubblegum pink, with scintillating rainbows in between. Within an amoeboidβs head floats a large, brain-like nucleus surrounded by five radially spaced eyespotsβtheir unearthly equivalent of a face.
An amoeboid can take a genetic imprint of a creature they touch, molding into an inexact copy, visibly made of the same jelly material. When in this form, they can speak the language of their subject and move in much the same way, allowing them to empathize with virtually any creature.
Mawkeepers
Amoeboids originate on the Maw stations and most reside there, researching the stationsβ ancient technology, repairing ships and Dark Matter engines, and meeting people from across the βVerse. By default, their position is that of galactic ambassadors, a role which many amoeboids relish. They tend to regard newcomers with curiosity and enthusiasm, a disposition that has transformed their Maw stations into central meeting places across the βVerse.
Most amoeboids view the βVerse through a lens of science and reason. With proper experimentation, the multiverse can be defined solely through the workings of magic and physics. Amoeboid researchers regard no subject as taboo as long as its methodology is sound and likely to produce useful data.
For centuries, amoeboids have taken to secretly visiting undeveloped worlds, disguising themselves and their saucers to experiment upon the inhabitants. These experiments are usually noninvasive but nonetheless unwelcome. As a result, many worlds share tales of strange visitors from the stars, looking much like them, but strangely distorted, stealing away individuals by night and performing strange rituals in brightly lit rooms. Amoeboids will also vivisect the odd head of livestock, but these occurrences are more likely to be blamed on predators than on visitors from the stars.
Traits for playing an amoeboid character in a D&D game follow this description.
Hey Bluesky, do you want to play this blobby boi?
Amoeboids are a new species option for the Dark Matter campaign setting! π This revision brings them up to date for the '24 Player's Handbook. Follow for more #scifi #dnd in the coming months.

Valdaβs Spire is normally, (depending on the complete class) the most up-to date version. I believe the Complete Craftsman was just updated to match Valdaβs, but Iβm not sure. Iβm just the social media lady ππ

Unfortunately, itβs impossible for us to keep track of all of the small changes over the years. The Complete Craftsman on DTRPG was probably pretty out of date. π« The Mage Hand Press Store gets the updates much faster.

A deeply mysterious mustached man, has a hat on covering his eyes, only a blond mustache visible on his face. He sits on a bar stool with a gun in one hand and a drink in the other.
A man sits behind a barrel, heβs probably watching someone from a distance. Heβs looking through a scope down the barrel of a long gun.
Risk is in a Gunslingerβs blood. They are bold renegades, bucking tradition and forging a new path with dangerous and inelegant firearms. Gunslingers are infamous for surviving by their wits and relying on split-second timing and a considerable amount of luck to survive.
