Feel free to use it if you like it. Also feel free to give criticism/suggestions.

I like this. It is very unique and has a lot of versatility to it. There are just a couple things I would change about it.

1. I would change the flaw from Dexterity to Intelligence since most slimes are mindless creatures and Dexterity doesn't make sense with how flexible this ancestry should be able to be.

2. I would change the Malleable feature from an automatic feature to a 1st level feat. Other ancestries have only 1 special trait gained at 1st level automatically. This would also allow you to reduce the ancestry from Rare to Uncommon.

Just my thoughts from reading through it, but I think this is really well done and very unique. Great job.

These aren't ordinary slimes. They're fairly smart, exceptionally caring, and actually not the fastest at maneuvering.

Lizardfolk get breath control and claws. While most may not get more than one free ability, several get a one free ability on top of an additional sense.

Thank you ^_^ I appreciate it!

I haven't seen that rarity effects power level, as far as ancestries go. Shoonies are Rare, and they are decidedly less powerful than the LOCG or APG ancestries.

In this case, as all of the heritages are on the weak side, giving the base a bit extra is more than fine.

Motion sense is a bit OP, since they also seem to have normal vision. I would specify that motion sense is an imprecise sense for them.

After looking at how precise senses work, you're right. I've changed it.

This is pretty cool. I'm adding this to my (currently very short) list of allowed third party content for my players. :)

I am honored. If Paizo would give me the compatibility license already, I could publish another ancestry that I've not revealed.
