The book makes it very clear that this is the entire partyвЂ™s chance, not per individual, and the only way to improve the odds are with appropriate magic.

Apparently itвЂ™s hard for anyone to notice a dripping patch of slime the rest of the party has only a 50% chance to spot it. They cling to ceilings with tendrils, dropping down to attack if they feel vibrations below them.ДЄs soon as they come into contact, the slimes release a numbing poison so the victim wonвЂ™t notice them. Like their brethren - who, incidentally, they donвЂ™t get alone with and the two slime types attack and neutralize each other when brought together - they feed off animals, vegetables and can eat metal.

The Monster Manual II takes a slightly different shade of green and makes a slime which works similarly but вЂcontact with it is worse in most respects.вЂќ The green slime of the original Monster Manual dwelt on ceilings in subterranean caverns, eating through metals and wood, and when they drip on people turning them into slimes as well. They were included in the slime/ooze/jelly section in the Monstrous Manual.Д«ut later editions decided slimes are not interesting, so creatures that are made by slimes donвЂ™t exist either.Д¬ontent Warning: ThereвЂ™s some body horror in here, a fairly detailed description of how slime creatures are made. Slime creatures are Level III, V or VII depending on HD.Дўe renamed them вЂњOlive Slime Creatures,вЂќ which is a name I prefer. IвЂ™m not sure I can really call the slime a symbiote, since thereвЂ™s not a mutual benefit going on here. The fact slime creatures spread olive slime is a nice way to propogate. If youвЂ™re going to have, say, plant monsters from outer space, they need a way to transform their victims into some sort of plant zombie. If theyвЂ™re in a wet area, theyвЂ™re immune to mundane but not magical fires. But otherwise they can be harmed only by acid, cold or magic missile. I donвЂ™t know if slime creatures are immune to weapon attacks, though I assume theyвЂ™re not. Each hit has a 10% chance of infecting the target with olive slime. Slime creatures can communicate with each other via telepathy if theyвЂ™re within 20 feet of one another.Дepending on size, they have 3+2, 5+2 or 8+2 HD, AC 9, move at 6вЂќ, and attack for d4, 2d4 or 4d4 damage. But they have cunning, can learn from experience, and can set traps.

вЂњThe vegetable intelligence of slime creatures is of animal nature,вЂќ the book notes, which means they have animal level intelligence (1-2). These creatures can be small, medium, or large, depending on what the original creature was, and gather together, in groups of d20, for вЂњ mutual assistance in feeding and for defense.вЂќ They can be found in warm, shallow waters or on dry land. Things infected by olive slimes are mutated into slime creatures, a vegetable creature that vaguely resembles its original form, symbiotically linked to the slime.They look enough like vegetation that you need to closely examine them to realize theyвЂ™re not plants. Though if you called it an olive slime creature IвЂ™d have no objections. So I feel itвЂ™s a little presumptuous to call this the slime creature. And 2e would add a few other animals with slime in their name. So everything in this post is educated guesswork.)ДЄD&D 1e has green slime, the slime demodand and olive slime. Either they cut some details for space or assumed a few things would be obvious. (The slime creature entry in the book feels kind of haphazardly written.
