Slime Folk Traits

Your ooze-like nature gives you plenty of advantages, some of which are determined by your subrace
    Ability Score Increase. Increase one ability score by 2 and increase a different one by 1, or increase three different ability scores by 1.
    Age. Slime Folk mature within the first six years of their life, but can mature quicker if plenty of nourishment is available. Once matured, they live up to 200 years, though some Slime Folk are known live way past this age.

Additionally, as an action you can attempt to engulf an object or creature of your size or smaller within 5 ft. of yourself. The creature must succeed a Dexterity saving throw or be grappled by you.

    Subraces. Slime Folk come in several shapes and colors. More importantly, they come in different types. Choose one of the following subraces to determine your exact slime folk nature: Alchemical, Eldritch, and Feral.

When you create the character, you choose Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma as your spellcasting ability for it.
Alchemical Adaption. Your knowledge about your inner alchemy is vast and you learned to adapt and alter your inner chemistry. You can change your inner chemistry by consuming 50 gp worth of arcane material components and change your resistance and exchange the corresponding cantrip to the new one according to your new resistance of your Alchemical Makeup trait after one minute of digestion. Changing your inner chemistry might change the color of your body to reflect your change. Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you have finished a long rest.

Consume. When taking a short rest, you can eat one creature that is not more than one size smaller or larger than you that is not a construct, elemental, or undead. When you do, you gain one additional hit dice that you have to spend during that short rest. If the devoured creature is one size larger than you, you roll twice on the gained hit dice and choose the higher result. Consuming a creature will nourish you for one day. You can use this trait a number of times equal to half of your proficiency modifier (rounded down) before you have to finish a long rest to use it again.

Necrotic	Chill Touch
Psychic	Vicious Mockery

You may only attune yourself without harm an amount of times equal to your Proficiency modifier per long rest. Attunements via spells consume charges. Attempting further to attune yourself will deal 1d6 damage, with the element being your last attuned element.
    This damage increases by 1d6 when you reach 5th level (2d6), 11th level (3d6), and 17th level (4d6).
    Shape Self. As an action, you can reshape your body to give yourself a head, one or two arms, one or two legs, and makeshift hands and feet, or you can revert to a limbless blob. While you have a human-like shape, you can wear clothing and armor made for a Humanoid of your size.
