    Default Gibbering Mouther's "Aberrant Ground" ability

    I have so many questions regarding this ability.

    1. When the Gibbering Mouther dies, does the ground:
    • revert to normal?
    • maintain whatever shape it had when the Gibbering Mouther died, but materials return to original consistency?
    • stay the same doughy weirdness?

    2. If it's "doughy" what can be done to it?
    • Can you cut it with a sword even if its original material was rock?
    • If I scoop out a piece of doughy rock with a spoon, does it immediately turn back to regular rock, or does it stay doughy as a separate piece until the Gibbering Mouther dies (if even then)?

    3. If the Gibbering Mouther is on a floor of 1-inch thick wooden planks:
    • Does the full thickness of the planks become doughy?
    • Can you sink through the floor to the level below?
    • Can the floor even support itself or does it sag and collapse to the floor below? Would a Gibbering Mouther on the roof of a tall building with many floors cause the complete collapse of the building over time?

    You can make it into a pizza. Those things that you think are pepperoni slices are actually mouther tongues.
    Add anchovies, mushrooms, onions and olives to taste ...

    Rulings are not 'House Rules.' Rulings are a DM doing what DMs are supposed to do.

    Agency means that they {players} control their character's actions; you control the world's reactions to the character's actions.
    Gosh, 2D8HP, you are so very correct!

    My rulings...

    1) Reverts to normal after a few moments.
    2) You can use it like dough, but it reverts to the original material quickly once removed from the floor.
    3) The full planks become doughy, but they stay solid enough to maintain themselves. How? Aberrant magic.
