Imagine a character who has nothing but mimics for gear and the only thing keeping them all in line is sheer terror.

I just feel bad for the loincloth mimic.

That one’s a volunteer.

there's a special genre of erotic content across all mediums like that (though mainly hentai)

[–] Aaroncvx 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Undead Unluck has a character who constantly regenerates his body and wears a mimic as clothing. It would be pretty practical for adventuring.

Yeah I like it a lot.

In games I run, mimics hate being covered in alcohol because it dissolves their sticky goo stuff, but can still be bribed with beer because it makes them feel great.

There isn't a single word of this post I don't like

Hypothetically, could a mimick turn into the beer, get drank by the barbarian, and then turn into a giant causing the barbarian to explode?

In 3.5 at least, if you're in a space that isn't big enough for you to change size, RAW you just...don't.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

You don't have to change size to become something of the same size that is razor sharp and next to some very unarmored innards.

Good thing Barbarians got unarmored defense and proficiency at Constitution saving throws. Chances are the whole mimic just gets digested like a snack.

If the mimic wanted to be clever maybe they should have targeted the rogue or something.

Now I’m picturing a barbarian eating razor blades as an intimidation technique

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

In 3.5 you can attack unarmed or with a light weapon when you're swallowed whole, and I'd say that qualifies. But it's not an instant-kill.

Extra points for waiting until at least the kidney to do it.

drunk mimic …

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Why is every n two pixels higher than other letters and why is the line spacing overlapping I am uncomfortable

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

You pass the perception check and spot the mimic.

Perfection!

Not an intimidating man, really.

[–] chiliedogg 15 points 1 year ago

In that role he was absolutely terrifying.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

In the show he was a sociopath with mind control powers, which if you know what he's capable of (as JJ did), could be fairly intimidating.

David Tennant, not so much 😆 (Although he was terrific in that role)

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Kilgrave was indeed something else (I'd say that Tennant managed to make him significantly more intimidating than the original), but he's also absolutely terrifying as the Doctor, when he stops trying not to be. And as someone else pointed out Good Omens' Crowley can be pretty intimidating when he wants to.

Tennant is actually very good at playing intimidating characters.

Oh absolutely! That guy does 'barely contained psycho' incredibly well!
