View source for Inevitable, Mercury (3.5e Monster)

=== Combat ===

Mercury inevitables enter a world and investigate a target, drawing in close and observing their weaknesses and strengths.  They will take any methods to reach the target and assassinate them, up to and including slaughtering any others which get in their way as needed.  In their eyes, the needs for justice to be done exceeds the loss of the death of innocents and family members.  When the target least expects it, the inevitable strikes to kill.

'''Death Attack {{Ex}}:'''  A mercury inevitable has the death attack ability of an [[assassin]], though the DC is 22 (10 + 1/2 HD + [[Int]] modifier).

'''Mimicry {{Ex}}:'''  A mercury inevitable may morph into creature it can see within one size category up or down as a standard action.  This is not an illusory effect and is not breached by ''[[SRD:True Seeing|true seeing]]''.  It has a +10 bonus on Disguise checks while mimicking a creature, and can even mimic it's voice exactly.  It retains its own ability scores, skills, and class features.  It can retain this appearance indefinitely, though it needs to view a creature again (either in person or in a picture) to mimic them.

'''Jack of all Trades {{Ex}}:'''  A mercury inevitable can use all skills untrained.

'''Morphic Body {{Ex}}:'''  A mercury inevitable is partially an ooze, and counts as both as a construct and an ooze for all purposes and effects.  As a standard action it can revert into ooze form, enabling it to move through cracks as small as 1/2 an inch wide, and gaining blindsight 60 ft and blindsense 120 ft in this state.

They gain their [[Charisma]] score to their hit points each hit dice, as their essence desires to hold itself together.  This is in addition to the +20 hp for being a medium construct.

'''Morphic Weapons {{Ex}}:'''  As a free action a mercury inevitable can transform its limbs into any simple or martial weapon, which it is proficient with.  Typically it transforms into a large version of a weapon, usually defaulting to a large longsword (2d6, 19-20).  They are also always under the effects of ''[[SRD:Greater Magic Weapon|greater magic weapon]]'' as an extraordinary effect, and their weapons bypass DR/silver.  It can two-weapon fight with its morphic weapons by turning both arms into two weapons.  They cannot create projectile weapons, nor throw their weapons.  They can enhance their weapons by enhancing their body as normal.

'''Reconstitution {{Ex}}:'''  Even though they have no [[Con]] score, mercury inevitables have a form of regeneration.  They take nonlethal damage (even though they are normally immune) instead of lethal damage.  They take lethal damage from fire.  If they take more than 50 points of cold damage in a single blow they must make a [[Fortitude]] save (DC 20) or become frozen, effectively paralyzed for 2d4 rounds, or until they take any fire damage to melt them.
