Slime Host The goblin is the host of a symbiotic slime. Actions in this stat block are labeled as belonging to either the goblin or the slime. The goblin can take up to three actions during its turn while the slime can take up to three of its own actions separate from the goblin’s during a round. The slime can act at any point during the initiative order after another creature concludes its turn. The slime’s actions take a multiple attack penalty based only on the slime’s attacks, and its attacks don’t count toward the goblin’s multiple attack penalty.
