'''Enslave ([[SRD:Su|Su]]):''' Three times per day, an aboleth can attempt to enslave any one living creature within 30 feet. The target must succeed on a [[SRD:DC|DC]] 16 [[SRD:Saving Throw|Will save]] or be affected as though by a ''[[SRD:Dominate Person|dominate person]]'' spell ([[SRD:Caster Level|caster level]] 16th). An enslaved creature obeys the aboleth's aboleth’s telepathic commands until freed by ''[[SRD:Remove Curse|remove curse]],'' and can attempt a new [[SRD:Saving Throw|Will save]] every 24 hours to break free. The control is also broken if the aboleth dies or travels more than 1 mile from its slave. The save [[SRD:DC|DC]] is [[SRD:Charisma|Charisma]]-based.

'''Slime ([[SRD:Ex|Ex]]):''' A blow from an aboleth's aboleth’s tentacle can cause a terrible affliction. A creature hit by a tentacle must succeed on a [[SRD:DC|DC]] 21 [[SRD:Saving Throw|Fortitude save]] or begin to transform over the next 1d4+1 minutes, the skin gradually becoming a clear, slimy membrane. An afflicted creature must remain moistened with cool, fresh water or take 1d12 points of damage every 10 minutes. The slime reduces the creature's creature’s [[SRD:Armor Class|natural armor]] bonus by 1 (but never to less than 0). The save [[SRD:DC|DC]] is [[SRD:Constitution|Constitution]]-based.
