Slimespawn

Once upon a time, the Illithids performed experiments to create the perfect slave. Many of these experiments ended in failure or created something unprecedented. What is now known as the Oblex was created by them. The Slimespawn were also created by such an experiment. The Illithids considered Slimespawns a failure as their form only altered their shape and not their appearance; plus their sentience, growing personalities and possession of a soul and also their resistance to psychic assaults make them unpredictable slaves. Therefore, many Slimespawn were destroyed. Some escaped into the surface world and slowly found their place among the other races; whatever that may mean on each community.

As for reproduction, Slimespawn reproduce asexually through mitosis. During this process they separate a small part of themselves and create a small sized Slimespawn which has its own soul. During its first weeks the small slime follows its parent everywhere and imitates it. As the little Slimespawn grows, it forms its own personality, much like babies from other mortal races. Slimespawn diet consists of anything humans typically eat; however they can also eat other things like poisonous animals or rotting corpses, since they are immune to poison conditions and they also lack the sense of taste.

**Sight Sensors.** As a Slimespawn you have two sensors you use to see normally that look like eyes and are generally placed where human eyes are. However, as a Reaction, you can move said sensors and place them wherever you want on your body.

**Change General Form.** Slimespawn generally adapt a shape that looks like a human silhouette. However, as an action, you can change your form to match the general shape of another creature but your size will always be the size you currently are and your equipment must be suitable for this new form or will be unusable. You will always have your Sight Sensors on each form though, and you also can’t use this ability to only grow extra limbs. If the creature's form has more than one mouth, you retain only the mouth you already had or you may choose to have no mouth until you use this ability again.

**Slimespawn Psionics.** You know the Mage Hand cantrip. The hand is invisible when you cast the cantrip with this trait. You also know the Message cantrip, but you don't need to point toward a creature; you need only look at it.

When you reach 3rd level, you can cast the Command spell once with this trait. You need only think the one-word command when you are casting this spell instead of speaking it, but you must be looking at the target creature which receives your command mentally. Also, the creature does not need to understand your language, but must be able to understand at least one language for this spell to work. You regain the ability to cast this spell again when you finish a long rest.

When you reach 5th level, you can cast the Enlarge/Reduce spell once with this trait, and you regain the ability to do so when you finish a long rest.

Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for these spells. When you cast these spells with this trait, they don't require components.
