Talk:Ochre jelly

Assuming a maximum size of a 15-foot-wide circle and 6 inches thick, weighing 5,600 pounds would make this thing roughly three times as dense as solid gold, and probably an instant kill if one fell on you. Considering Lost Mine of Phandelver has one of these hanging from a ceiling... are we sure about that weight?


 * That's what Monster Manual 3e says, however 2e says that ochre jelly is between 4'and 7' in size. so there is some wiggle room to how dense they are. -Artyom.pavlov (talk) 03:33, 27 February 2022 (UTC)


 * A smaller size at the same mass would make them more dense, but I haven't seen another mass/weight for them. More often, the mass is screwy – for a game about statistics, maths usually isn't a designer's strong suit.


 * In any case, I checked and calculated it myself and got a density of ~1,002 kg/m3 for the ochre jelly, which is much lighter than the 19,320 kg/cm3 listed for gold on Wikipedia and is much more like the 1,000 kg/cm3 for fresh water. That's much more likely; if anything, it seems a little too light. BadCatMan (talk) 06:37, 27 February 2022 (UTC)
