Ooze Encasement[edit]
Living Ooze which developed toward a more symbiotic relationship, protecting the wearer in exchange for feeding.
Ooze Encasements are produced by convincing an Ooze to limit its own feeding. This is done with a DC 20 Craft (Alchemy) check in order to alter the alchemical processes of the Ooze. Creating a mesh or padding shape depending on armor replicated. These Ooze feed off of the wearer's secretions requiring the wearing to have some sort of secretions, most often being sweat. Creatures without such secretions, such as most undead or constructs, are treated by the Ooze as objects and are not encased protectively. The Ooze, upon coming into contact with a food source, will creep it's way into a donned position. This allows the wearer to take actions while the armor dons itself.
Ooze Encasement can be formed to mimic that of a type of armor. The ooze will provide the wearer with DR/slashing or piercing dependent on the type of armor being replicated as the Ooze softens the impact of these strikes. DR 3 for light. DR 5 for Medium. DR 10 for heavy.The Ooze causes less resistance than normal armor and reduces the Armor Check Penalty by 2. It forms to the wearer and does not resist movement. Magic coursing through the body worries the Ooze into shuffling increasing Arcane Spell Failure chance by 20%. The ooze provides the armor with a specific bonus effect based on the type of Ooze used to make the armor.
