I like the idea of playing with AC.  Let’s see if I can keep that going in 5e

Daily Punch 9-8-16 Summon Ooze Spell for DnD 5e

ED CONTINUES TO DEMAND MORE OOZES!  Also, how about a slightly different way to summon.  I think conjurers (conjuration based wizards) need to keep up with Druids.  Let’s make that happen!

 

Summon Ooze

2th-level conjuration

Casting Time: 1 minute

Range: 30 feet

Components: V, S, M (a 1-ounce glass jar of acid)

Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour

You call forth an ooze servant. An ooze of challenge rating 1/2 or lower to appears in an unoccupied space within 10 feet of a point in range.

The ooze disappears when it drops to 0 hit points or when the spell ends.

The ooze is friendly to you and your companions for the duration. Roll initiative for the ooze, which has its own turns. It obeys any verbal commands that you issue to it (no action required by you). If you don’t issue any commands to the ooze, it defends itself from hostile creatures but otherwise takes no actions.

If your concentration is broken, the ooze doesn’t disappear. Instead, you lose control of the ooze, it becomes hostile toward you and your companions, and it might attack. An uncontrolled ooze can’t be dismissed by you, and it disappears 1 hour after you summoned it.

The GM has the ooze’s statistics.

At Higher Levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3th level or higher, increase the challenge rating of the summoned ooze to 1 if you use a 3rd level spell slot and by 1 thereafter for each slot level above 3th.

  • Oil Coating: Creatures struck by the ooze are covered in oil if they fail a saving throw.  This oil can be removed at the end of their turn without an action with a successful Dexterity saving throw (DC 14).  If the target spends an action to remove the oil, the saving throw is performed with advantage.

Description

This ball of ooze appears to look like a shimmering rainbow.  The rainbow is a trick of the light as the ooze is made of flammable material the shimmers.  Those who use fire on this creature soon regret their final action.
