Monster Manual
All mephits fight by biting and clawing or by using their breath weapon.
Breath Weapon (Su): Cone of caustic liquid, 10 feet; damage 1d4, Reflex half DC 12. Living creatures that fail their saves are tormented by itching skin and burning eyes. This imposes a -4 morale penalty to AC and a -2 morale penalty to attack rolls for 3 rounds. A mephit can use its breath weapon once every 1d4 rounds as a standard action.
Spell-Like Abilities: Once per hour an ooze mephit can hurl an acidic blob that functions like Melf's acid arrow cast by a 3rd-level sorcerer (save DC 12 + spell level). Once per day it can create a mass of smelly fog that duplicates the effect of stinking cloud as cast by a 6th-level sorcerer.
Fast Healing (Ex): An ooze mephit heals 2 points of damage each round, only if in a wet or muddy environment.
Summon Mephit (Sp): Once per day, all mephits can summon other mephits much as though casting a summon monster spell, but they have only a 25% chance of success to summon one mephit of the same type. Roll d%: On a failure, no creature answers the summons. A mephit that has just been summoned cannot use its own summon ability for 1 hour.
Water Subtype
This subtype usually is used for elementals and outsiders with a connection to the Elemental Plane of Water. Creatures with the water subtype always have swim speeds and can move in water without making Swim checks. A water creature can breathe underwater and usually can breathe air as well.
Extraplanar Subtype
A subtype applied to any creature when it is on a plane other than its native plane. A creature that travels the planes can gain or lose this subtype as it goes from plane to plane. This book assumes that encounters with creatures take place on the Material Plane, and every creature whose native plane is not the Material Plane has the extraplanar subtype (but would not have when on its home plane). An extraplanar creatures usually has a home plane mentioned in its description. These home planes are taken from the Great Wheel cosmology of the D&D game (see Chapter 5 of the Dungeon Master's Guide). If your campaign uses a different cosmology, you will need to assign different home planes to extraplanar creatures.
Creatures not labeled as extraplanar are natives of the Material Plane, and they gain the extraplanar subtype if they leave the Material Plane. No creature has the extraplanar subtype when it is on a transitive plane; the transitive planes in the D&D cosmology are the Astral Plane, the Ethereal Plane, and the Plane of Shadow.
