Evil / Undead Class : Thrall of Juiblex
"All hail the dark, whispered master, patron of pestilence, and father of slime, Juiblex the unspeakable!" -Duvamil
The thrall of Juiblex is as disgusting an individual as one may ever encounter. Oozing a horrible slime and surrounded by a nauseating stench, these thralls have no place in normal society, although the more powerful ones can disguise their form to slip among civilized people.
Fighters and barbarians sometimes become thralls of Juiblex, and clerics who favor the demon prince also take the prestige class.
A thrall of Juiblex usually operates alone, for no one can stand to be near it except for undead, oozes, and possibly cancer mages.

Class Features
All the following are Class Features of the thrall of Juiblex prestige class.
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: A thrall of Juiblex is proficient with all simple and martial weapons, with all types of armor, and with shields.
Sickening Slime (Ex): A thrall of Juiblex can secrete a smelly slime that coats its body in a thin layer. Anyone within 5 feet must make a Fortitude saving throw (DC 18+ the thrall's class level + Constitution bonus) or take a -1 circumstance penalty on attack rolls and skill checks, due to the outrageous odor of the slime layer.
Corrosive Touch (Ex): Three times per day, a thrall of Juiblex of 2nd level or higher can secrete a caustic slime on its hand that deals 2d6 points of damage. Once it is secreted, the thrall can make an attack to get the corrosive slime to damage a foe, dealing normal unarmed damage as well as the damage from the slime. Because of the corrosive slime, this attack is nor considered unarmed and does nor provoke attacks of opportunity.
Summon Ooze (Sp): At 3rd level, a thrall of Juiblex can summon a patch of green slime, a gray ooze, an ochre jelly, or gelatinous cube as the summon monster spell with his thrall level as the caster level.
Contagion (Su): Once per day, a thrall of Juiblex can spread a disease, as the contagion spell (caster level 10th).
Alter Self (Su): At 4th level, a thrall of Juiblex's for a becomes somewhat transitory and amorphous. It can change its appearance and form at will, as the alter self spell cast by a 4th-level caster.
Summon Demon (Sp): A 5th-level thrall of Juiblex can summon a demon of 5 HD or less once per day. This functions as a summon monster spell cast by a 15th-level caster. A 9th-level thrall of Juiblex can summon a demon of 10 HD or less once per day.
Corrosive Spew (Ex): Ar 6th level, a thrall of Juiblex can spit a gout of caustic goo in a line 5 feet wide and 38 feet long once per day. The corrosive spew deals 8d6 points of acid damage to anyone in its path, with a Reflex saving throw (DC 10 + thrall's class level + thrall's Con bonus) for half damage.
Summon Pudding (Sp): At 7th level, a thrall of Juiblex can summon a black pudding as if it had cast a summon monster spell with its thrall level as the caster level.
Polymorph Self (Su): An 8th-level thrall of Juiblex form is more amorphous than ever. It can change its appearance and form at will, as the polymorph spell cast by an 8th-level caster.
No Discernible Anatomy (Ex): At 10th level, a thrall of Juiblex's form is so amorphous that it no longer need worry about being affected by critical hits, sneak attacks, damage from poison, paralysis, or stunning. However, potions no longer affect the thrall either.
