Erpip The Lighthouse keeper

Race: Rock Gnome/ Wereslug

Class: Wizard

Age: 107

Background

He started working at the light 56 years ago, only shortly working there the forest druids came and cursed him, because they assumed he was responsible for chopping down the tree that was used for the lighthouse. Ever since he holds a grudge against all druids who he comes across. He will usually just not acknowledge them, but may attack if they annoy him. He uses spells to keep the light running for ships to travel safely. The building was built for humans so he needs to use stools  and other quirky assets to reach stuff. He likes to create his own spirit concoctions and share them when people come by and visit. He will be friendly to anyone who comes, but can easily show hostility if needed. Sometimes he goes to the beach and recovers items that have been stranded at sea and would sell them to you for a cheap price. 

As a wereslug he feeds on the fish and crustaceans from the beach. If he has not eaten in a couple of days. He is always clean and washes all of the slime from the floors.

Challenge 7

Shapechanger. The wereslug can use its action to polymorph into a Large Slug-Humanoid hybrid, Large Slug, or back into its true form, Which is humanoid. Its statistics, other than its size and AC are the same in each form. Any equipment it is wearing or carrying is absorbed into the slug form and digested. It reverts to its true form if it dies.

Gluttonous Rage. When the wereslug is newly transformed or goes without food for too long it becomes ravenous. In this state it gains advantage on Dexterity (stealth) checks and its movement speed increases by 5ft. Each night it goes without having its hunger stated. It must eat at least its own body weight (about 1000 lbs.) to end this effect until its next transformation. While in this state it searches for the nearest available food source. Once located it will pursue this food source until it is devoured before moving on to the next. If it comes across a more bountiful source of food in its pursuit it will target instead the more plentiful food source.

Slime Trail. The wereslug leaves a trail of dangerous slime in its wake 10 ft. wide. Any creature coming into contact into this slime must make the corresponding saving throw to the type of slime the wereslug produced as it left the trail. This also makes the wereslug much easier to track, giving creatures attempting to follow it advantage on Wisdom (Perception or Survival) checks made to follow or find it. The slime washes away after 10 minutes in rain leaving no trace behind. 5 gallons of water can be used to wash away a 5 ft square of the slime. If not washed away the slime trail dries up in exposure to sunlight and flakes away over time, up to a week later.

Keen Smell. The wereslug’s hunger knows no bounds, and as such it uses a powerful chemoreceptors on its antennae to locate food or prey. It has advantage on Wisdom (Perception or Survival) checks to find food.

Actions

Multiattack. In Slug form the wereslug makes two Slime Shots  from its antennae or a combination of the two. In humanoid form it can make two melee weapon attacks. In hybrid form it can attack like a slug or a humanoid. The wereslug may also replace any of its attacks in hybrid or slug form to change the type of slime it is producing.

Bite (Slug or Hybrid Form Only). Melee weapon attack: +7 to hit, 5ft. Reach, one target. Hit: 14 (2d8 + 4) piercing damage. If the target creature is a humanoid, it must succeed on a DC 14 Constitution Saving throw or be cursed with wereslug lycanthropy.

Slime Shot (Slug or Hybrid Form Only). Ranged weapon attack: +3 to hit, reach 20ft., two targets. Hit: Target must make a Saving Throw against the type of slime the wereslug is currently producing.

Slime Swap (Slug or Hybrid Form Only). The werelsug begins producing a different type of slime, swapping between either Paralytic Slime or Corrosive Slime.

The wereslug coats its body with one of two types of slime at a time, it can also shoot each type of slime up to 20ft. at its prey. 

Paralytic Slime. Creatures who hit  a weapon attack on the wereslug or are hit with a melee attack by the wereslug while within 5ft. of it must succeed on a DC 14 Constitution saving throw or be paralyzed. They may repeat this saving throw at the end of each of their turns. Enemies bitten by the wereslug or shot with slime while it produces paralytic slime must also make this saving throw.

Corrosive Slime. Creatures who hit a weapon attack on the wereslug or are hit with a melee attack by the wereslug while within 5ft. of it must succeed on a DC 12 Constitution Saving throw or take 3d8 points of acid damage.
