<h3 chunk_id="f27a6b03-7ae9-4816-9921-82a16135ce0e" class="normal" id="SlimeMold">Slime Mold</h3>A slime mold appears as a mound of earth and detritus covered in a thick layer of fungus that exudes a faint stink of decay. The fungus actually shares a symbiotic relationship with the slime mold, serving as an external digestive system while gaining access to the nutrients it needs. The ooze remains perfectly still until living prey passes within reach, then it lashes out with disgusting pseudopods. With a touch, a slime mold can infect its prey with a foul contagion known as slime rot, a horrific disease that painfully breaks down a victim’s flesh. At first, the disease manifests as painful rashes and agonized joints. In the later stages, though, the flesh of the affected creature actually begins to liquefy and run in rivulets as the creature’s spores continue to work. Death, when it occurs, swiftly causes the resulting body to split open and release a brand new slime mold.<div chunk_id="75be4db9-970d-4650-b305-451c0d1f2b92" class="sidebar" style=""><img class="book-image-left" data-id="1587" data-name="12-25-PZO2102 TREASURE ICON.png" src="https://content.demiplane.com/compendium/pathfinder-2e/bestiary-2/fkCXQlxbWtaFNta/12-25-PZO2102 TREASURE ICON.png" style="width: 75px;"/><h5 class="exclude-from-nav" id="SlimeMoldFungi">Slime Mold Fungi</h5>The particularly foul environments in which slime molds dwell are conducive to the growth of extremely potent and dangerous mushrooms and other fungi. A dead slime mold can be a source of enough materials to produce a few doses of deathcap powder or other types of poison. Some creatures, such as <href href="/nexus/pathfinder2e/sources/bestiary/d/#Dero" title="Dero">deros</href> or those with inherent immunity to disease, cultivate slime molds in order to harvest these materials.</div>

Just as your character’s ancestry plays a key role in expressing their identity and worldview, their class indicates the training they have and will improve upon as an adventurer. Choosing your character’s class is perhaps the most important decision you will make for them.

CLASSES

Your character’s ancestry determines which people they call their own. A character’s ancestry and their experiences prior to their life as an adventurer—represented by a background—might be key parts of their identity, shape how they see the world, and help them find their place in it.

ANCESTRIES

The peoples of Golarion are many, and they have a long history of intermingling. The inevitable offspring of these mixed unions share physiological features with both their parents, manifesting as a specific heritage.

HERITAGES

There are infinite possible character concepts, but you might find that the feats and skill choices from a single class aren’t sufficient to fully realize your character. Archetypes allow you to expand the scope of your character’s class.
