Of course, one can infer that acid that can eat through armor can also eat through a sword. Also, the player is correct, no mention of destroying weapons, or any other material other than armor.
Probably my player made the same mistake. I didn’t even notice the second bit myself until typing it out above, and assumed B/X was going to tell me that all armor takes a full turn to destroy. normal) first, given that the next sentence directly states that normal armor is destroyed in a single round. How odd to list the special case (magic armor vs. Certainly there is text in there about it taking one turn to destroy magic armor. Gray ooze cannot be harmed by cold or fire, but can be harmed by weapons and lightning. After the first hit, the ooze will stick to its victim, automatically destroying any normal armor and doing 2d8 points of damage each round. This acid will dissolve and destroy magic armor in one turn. It secrets an acid which does 2d8 points of damage if the gray ooze hits bare skin. This seeping horror looks like wet stone and is difficult to see. A bit backwards, I know, but don’t worry we’ll look at the OD&D description next.
These questions are rooted in the B/X description, so I’m actually going to start there. They recently lost a magic sword fighting a gray ooze, so naturally they’re a bit distressed. Shouldn’t it have taken a full turn (10 minutes) for the gray ooze to dissolve our armor? Also, the text says nothing about it destroying weapons. Let me start by summarizing my player’s questions: Actually, the real reason for the title is simply my preference for alliterative titles. I suppose that might make this a very short series, though by 2nd edition all slimey monsters (green slime, gray ooze, gelatinous cube, etc.) get filed under the moniker ooze. Technically the only “ooze” in the game, the gray ooze is the monster one of my players asked some specific questions about.
