Myxpia

Myxpia

The first Myxpia was created by the soul of a dead Humanoid child and the perfect storm of magic. The child was killed, taken from the world too early and in a dying wish or agonizing call to the Magical Weave the child's soul was reborn. Whether by parent or guardian, there is some chaotic magics in the world through the Magical Weave that have allowed these children another chance at life. Myxpia are Slimelings that reflect the Humanoid race they were originally born as. More rare than any other race in Luder'ae, outside of the Goodran, they are able to change their forms at will, although always reverting back to their base humanoid form. Their rarity and confusing form makes them subject to discrimination, due to the discomfort of all other races. They are usually only found as outcasts and adventurers trying to make a life for themselves or in one of the couple small tribes that live in the Plutonic Realm. They can be of a variety of colors, but are smooth and amorphous with many rounded features.

Second Chance at Life: You were once a child of a non-Slimeling race. Pick another Humanoid race. This is referred to as your 'originally born race' and will be important to deciding your racial features.

You regain your ability to cast the spell again in this way once you finish a long rest. Constitution is your spellcasting ability for this spell.
Pseudopod: Your body can be used and shaped into a natural weapon, which you can use to make Unarmed attacks. You can create a pseudopod that, if you hit with it, you deal 1d6 acid damage instead of your strength modifier(or any other modifiers) and bludgeoning damage for an Unarmed Strike.
