So i've had a dream on a mimic I've wanted to use for awhile, and I finally got the chance to use it last night.

The scene: You come across a chest, a podium, and a book laying on top of the podium titled "How to spot a Mimic".

The first thing my trap checker player did was check the podium for traps. When she had the all clear, she then grabbed the book.

The next half hour of the Mimic being a monster book of monsters was just a hilarity I wish was recorded.

My favourite is the mimic accidentally/on purpose placed inside a bag of holding. Any time the party take something out of it there's a nonzero chance it'll be a mimic instead of what they were after.

Did the party know or was everyone just like, "Why are you rolling everytime we reach in the bag?"

I sometimes roll a d20 just for my own purposes. Maybe to force my own decision, maybe for a secret check. Maybe just to make them nervous.

That last part is absolutely devious, but I also kind of like it
