| Pattern-Name=<onlyinclude>{{#ifeq:{{{transcludesection|Pattern-Name}}}
| Pattern-Name| Sticky Creature
}}</onlyinclude>


'Sticky Zombie' is a pattern that can be added to any Zombie, hereafter referred to as the base creature.
| CR-Adj=<onlyinclude>{{#ifeq:{{{transcludesection|CR-Adj}}}
| CR-Adj| 1
}}</onlyinclude>


A Sticky Zombie uses all of the base creature's statistics and abilities except as noted below.
| Picture =
| Picture-Text =


== CR ==
| Description=<onlyinclude>{{#ifeq:{{{transcludesection|Description}}}
Same as base creature +1.
| Description|  '''''Sticky Creature''''' does exactly what it sounds like: Makes a creature sticky. Attacking or touching it can cause the attacker to get stuck, which is rarely a good thing.


== Size and Type ==
How is this accomplished? The possibilities are nearly endless. Earth Elementals can become Tar Elementals, or creatures can be covered in alchemical glue they poured over themselves. Maybe there was a weird experiment, and now the creature is actually made of living glue! Perhaps there is a layer of telekinetic mire that surrounds a ghost, or sticky ectoplasm coating a Devil, or maybe an entire swamp is filled with muck creatures which all are made of swamp goop.
The creature's Size and Type do not change.


== Initiative Modifier ==
Perhaps an invading bandit horde has honey-coated shields, or some Treants exude thick, gelid sap. Some Aboleths may have slime coats that are more sticky than usual, or a band of Trolls have been cursed to be forever melting. Psychic compulsions, astral slime, coatings of soft metal, the possibilities are nearly endless.  
The creature's initiative modifier increases by half the amount that its CR increases, round up.


== Senses ==
Have fun creating!
No changes.
}}</onlyinclude>


== Armor Class ==
| Short-Desc=<onlyinclude>{{#ifeq:{{{transcludesection|Short-Desc}}}
Sticky Zombies gain +1 AC.  This is granted by adding to the base creatures natural armor bonus.
| Short-Desc| This creature seems confident that if it is attacked, their attacker will regret it. What tricks could it have to be so certain?

== Hit Dice ==
| Change-Type=<onlyinclude>{{#ifeq:{{{transcludesection|Change-Type}}}
No changes.
| Change-Type|
}}</onlyinclude>


== Defensive Ability ==
| Add-Subtype=<onlyinclude>{{#ifeq:{{{transcludesection|Add-Subtype}}}
A Sticky Zombie gains the following abilities, which may be added to their Bestiary entry:
| Add-Subtype| Sticky
}}</onlyinclude>


'''Special Defenses:'''  Sticky Flesh
| Change-Alignment=<onlyinclude>{{#ifeq:{{{transcludesection|Change-Alignment}}}
| Change-Alignment|
  <!-- Values: Lawful Good, True Lawful, Lawful Evil, Pure Good, Neutral, Pure Evil, Chaotic Good, True Chaotic, Chaotic Evil -->
}}</onlyinclude>


'''Special Abilities:'''
  <!-- ABILITY SCORES -->
  <!-- Except for INT, these stat changes are cosmetic and do not affect other numbers
      Just put in the number you want to ADD to the existing monster's stats          -->


;Sticky Flesh: Sticky Zombies are full of thick, gluey vileness.  Any creature which strikes a Sticky Zombie in melee combat while in an adjacent space must make a [[Skills,_Saves_and_Ability_Checks#Saving_Throw_Target_DC.27s_By_Level | CR appropriate Reflex save]] or be struck by a vile splatter of thick, ropy glue-like ichor.  If the save is failed, the attacker gains the [[hindered]] condition and may not move away from the zombie's space, although they may move into any space adjacent to the zombie.  The zombie, likewise, may not move away from the space of the character stuck to it, but may move around it, and it does NOT gain the hindered condition.  A hindered creature may roll another saving throw each round as a move action to break free of the vile glue. 
| STR-Adj=<onlyinclude>{{#ifeq:{{{transcludesection|STR-Adj}}}
| STR-Adj|
}}</onlyinclude>


:If a creature that has the hindered condition chooses to attack the zombie again while hindered, and fails the saving throw a second time, they are instead given the [[grappled]] condition, although the Sticky Zombie is NOT grappled.  They must break the grappled condition with a roll against the zombies Maneuver Defense.
| DEX-Adj=<onlyinclude>{{#ifeq:{{{transcludesection|DEX-Adj}}}
| DEX-Adj|
}}</onlyinclude>


:Zombies which have living targets stuck to them usually attack those targets in preference to any others.
| CON-Adj=<onlyinclude>{{#ifeq:{{{transcludesection|CON-Adj}}}
| CON-Adj|
}}</onlyinclude>


== Speed ==
| INT-Adj=<onlyinclude>{{#ifeq:{{{transcludesection|INT-Adj}}}
A Sticky Zombie's base speed improves by ten feet in all movement categories it has.
| INT-Adj|
}}</onlyinclude>


== Melee Attacks ==
| WIS-Adj=<onlyinclude>{{#ifeq:{{{transcludesection|WIS-Adj}}}
A Sticky Zombie retains all the base creature's attacks, and its weapon and armor proficiencies. These attacks retain the same primary or secondary status they had for the base creature.  A Sticky Zombie adds 1d6 of negative energy damage to all its melee attacks.
| WIS-Adj|
}}</onlyinclude>


== Damage ==
| CHA-Adj=<onlyinclude>{{#ifeq:{{{transcludesection|CHA-Adj}}}
The base damage of all attacks does not change.

  <!-- These values adjust the BASE CR of the monster (not the adjusted CR).

| Special-Ability-1-Description=<onlyinclude>{{#ifeq:{{{transcludesection|Special-Ability-1-Description}}}
| Special-Ability-1-Description|  Once per round per enemy creature, any creature which successfully strikes a Sticky Creature in melee combat, while in an adjacent space, must immediately make a  Reflex save against a DC of {{Save-DC}} or be struck by a vile splatter of thick, ropy glue-like ichor. If the save is failed, the attacker suffers from Sticky Entrapment and gains the [[hindered]] condition, and much worse, may not move ''away'' from the Creature's space (even with a teleport move speed). Entrapped creatures may still move into any unblocked, unoccupied space adjacent to the Creature.
 
The Creature, likewise, may not move away from any space with a character stuck to it, but may move to any space which is adjacent to all stuck creatures, and it does NOT gain the hindered condition. A hindered creature may roll another saving throw against the same DC once each round, to break free of the vile glue, ending the hindered condition and allowing them to move away from the Sticky Creature if they wish.

Not just anybody can do this, you know. Well, okay, they can if they have this pattern. But otherwise...

Sticky Creature Pattern (+1 CR)

Subtype: add Sticky to subtypes


Sticky Creature does exactly what it sounds like: Makes a creature sticky. Attacking or touching it can cause the attacker to get stuck, which is rarely a good thing.

How is this accomplished? The possibilities are nearly endless. Earth Elementals can become Tar Elementals, or creatures can be covered in alchemical glue they poured over themselves. Maybe there was a weird experiment, and now the creature is actually made of living glue! Perhaps there is a layer of telekinetic mire that surrounds a ghost, or sticky ectoplasm coating a Devil, or maybe an entire swamp is filled with muck creatures which all are made of swamp goop.

Perhaps an invading bandit horde has honey-coated shields, or some Treants exude thick, gelid sap. Some Aboleths may have slime coats that are more sticky than usual, or a band of Trolls have been cursed to be forever melting. Psychic compulsions, astral slime, coatings of soft metal, the possibilities are nearly endless.

Have fun creating!

This creature seems confident that if it is attacked, their attacker will regret it. What tricks could it have to be so certain?

Sticky Entrapment (Su; Sticky Creature Pattern)

Once per round per enemy creature, any creature which successfully strikes a Sticky Creature in melee combat, while in an adjacent space, must immediately make a Reflex save against a DC of 14 or be struck by a vile splatter of thick, ropy glue-like ichor. If the save is failed, the attacker suffers from Sticky Entrapment and gains the hindered condition, and much worse, may not move away from the Creature's space (even with a teleport move speed). Entrapped creatures may still move into any unblocked, unoccupied space adjacent to the Creature.

The Creature, likewise, may not move away from any space with a character stuck to it, but may move to any space which is adjacent to all stuck creatures, and it does NOT gain the hindered condition. A hindered creature may roll another saving throw against the same DC once each round, to break free of the vile glue, ending the hindered condition and allowing them to move away from the Sticky Creature if they wish.

If a creature that has the hindered condition from Sticky Entrapment chooses to attack the Sticky Creature again while still hindered, and fails the saving throw a second time, they are instead given the entangled condition, although the Sticky Creature is NOT entangled. They may continue to save, as above, to break the entangled condition as well.
