===Combat===
A gray [[SRD:Ooze Type|ooze]] strikes like a snake, slamming opponents with its body.

'''Acid ([[SRD:Ex|Ex]]):''' A gray [[SRD:Ooze Type|ooze]] secretes a digestive acid that quickly dissolves organic material and metal, but not stone. Any melee hit or [[SRD:Constrict|constrict]] attack deals acid damage. Armor or clothing dissolves and becomes useless immediately unless it succeeds on a [[SRD:DC|DC]] 16 [[SRD:Saving Throw|Reflex save]]. A metal or wooden weapon that strikes a gray [[SRD:Ooze Type|ooze]] also dissolves immediately unless it succeeds on a [[SRD:DC|DC]] 16 [[SRD:Saving Throw|Reflex save]]. The save [[SRD:DC|DCs]] are [[SRD:Constitution|Constitution]]-based.

The [[SRD:Ooze Type|ooze]]’s acidic touch deals 16 points of damage per [[SRD:Round|round]] to wooden or metal objects, but the [[SRD:Ooze Type|ooze]] must remain in contact with the object for 1 full [[SRD:Round|round]] to deal this damage.

'''[[SRD:Constrict|Constrict]] ([[SRD:Ex|Ex]]):''' A gray [[SRD:Ooze Type|ooze]] deals automatic slam and acid damage with a successful [[SRD:Grapple|grapple check]]. The opponent’s clothing and armor take a –4 penalty on [[SRD:Saving Throw|Reflex save]]s against the acid.

'''[[SRD:Improved Grab|Improved Grab]] ([[SRD:Ex|Ex]]):''' To use this ability, a gray [[SRD:Ooze Type|ooze]] must hit with its slam attack. It can then attempt to start a [[SRD:Grapple|grapple]] as a [[SRD:Free Actions|free action]] without provoking an [[SRD:Attacks of Opportunity|attack of opportunity]]. If it wins the [[SRD:Grapple|grapple check]], it establishes a hold and can [[SRD:Constrict|constrict]].  

'''Transparent ([[SRD:Ex|Ex]]):''' A gray [[SRD:Ooze Type|ooze]] is hard to [[SRD:Identify|identify]], even under ideal conditions, and it takes a [[SRD:DC|DC]] 15 [[SRD:Spot Skill|Spot]] check to notice one. Creatures who fail to notice a gray [[SRD:Ooze Type|ooze]] and walk into it are automatically hit with a [[SRD:Melee Attack|melee attack]] for slam and acid damage.
