It's fairly well-made and creative, with detailed information on creating molded, such as their creation, society, and everything else you would expect, as well as a one-shot adventure that is great for introducing the molded to a campaign. The main problem here is with the rules for the molded. They are just far, far too powerful right off the bat. They get damage resistance to slashing, piercing, and bludgeoning weapons, acid, and another damage type depending on their subrace; and they're flat-out immune to psychic damage. Some of the subraces get even more powerful abilities on top of that, such as the black molded getting expertise in stealth for free.

In summation: it's not bad by any means, but anyone who wants to play this should definitely talk with their DM and work out a way to make them a bit less powerful.

Pros:

  • Detailed information on creating molded, including their creation, their society, and their traits.
  • New molded background (with multiple tables) and several interesting racial feats.
  • Included One-Shot Adventure that does a great job introducing the molded to any campaign.

Cons:

  • The molded have extreme ability score changes and borderline game-breaking abilities and resistances right at level 1.
  • No maps for the one-shot adventure.
  • Some confusion regarding NPC names and stat blocks in the adventure.

About as good as you're gonna get if you wanna play an ooze. However some mechanical advantages concern me: Damage resistance to acid and all slashing, piercing, and bludgeoning weapons (it doesn't state non-magical, so I have to presume this applies to ALL weapons). Additionally, they're resistant to another type of damage (determined by subrace ) and immune to psychic. Each subrace is also vulnerable to a very common damage type but I don't think this is enough to balance out the resistance.

You also have a corrosive body, making it hard for anyone to hit you. You're an ooze, which grants you no need to sleep, eat and you basically trance like an elf. You have blindsight to 15 feet, so I guess that's a good balancing point (anything beyond 60, you have disadvantage on perception rolls). Those are all the commont raits, you get additional benefits from your subrace!

The feats are about as balanced as the race is. Which is to say, not overly.

So while someone might have fun at your table with this, I suggest the DM allowing it should read the whole book through. It's well made and well thought out, but mechanical design means the character will require a close eye. It's not as overpowered as the Yuan-Ti from Volo's, but it's about as tricky.

Creator Reply:
Thank you for trying out the module and leaving feedback. The molded are certainly a very odd race. The way their traits are they are much more inclined to be tanks than anything else, which is on purpose. Their race was created to be "magical test dummies" which meant their hardiness was emphasized over all else. It is difficult to make a version that can dish out a lot of damage. The corrosive body shouldn't make it harder for others to hit you, it actually makes it more difficult for the molded to use weapons and armor themselves. I've had some players have quite a bit of fun taking them in other non-tank directions. I would certainly encourage anyone that wants to use this at a table to let the DM take a look and approve it. Thanks again for the response! I hope to release new adventuring modules starring the molded soon!

Weird and wonderful creatures. They play quite well and are very distinct. I'd recomend it to any that like playing unique races.

I play tested the molded and I've really been enjoying the different aspects of this race.
