My sister and I were diving deep into the lore and rules for mimics and the most terrifying thing they could be, is either an entire planet or a humanoid. They might even be able to be a planet-sized humanoid. Or even a human-sized planetoid 😱

That's why you need post it on your stuff.

All fun and games until the mimic pretends to be a post-it note

I like to think mimics cant replicate text. If not I'm gonna need a fancy mimic lens or start tapping my stuff with a wrench before I touch it.

Now I want Konsi christmas cookies!

A long time ago I did spend a few months experimenting with ratios to make my own cookie recipe, it makes really good chocolate chip cookies. Not very christmassy though.

sprinkle something green and red and it becomes crissmass-y

OP delivers!

I've often thought it'd be fun to let a party have a tame mimic as a pet. Not helpful in battle unfortunately, unless one of your opponents decides to take a looting break.

The Flee, Mortals! book has a mimic companion stat block. It can cover you and act as active camouflage.

Thrown weapon mimic, like a javelin. Enemy picks it up to throw back and bam, surprise bite!!!

Teleportation mimic will teleport you. To its stomach.

Breastplate mimic just wants to sink its mouth on your breasts.

Saddle mimic wants to lick your lowers parts.

No comment on outhouse mimic. We don't talk about it.

just wants to sink its mouth on your breasts.

Get in line, mimic.

Play Shattered Pixel Dungeon. You can get special mimics that can disguise as literally everything. A door, strength potion, the way to the next level, basically anything that looks useful. And of course they only appear as soon as you've forgotten to check for them.

Cover your phb in spray adhesive and leave it sitting on the table. As soon as someone touches it, shout "ROLL INITIATIVE!"

Actually, apply this to other random objects at the game table. A bag of chips, 1 can of soda in the fridge, every 3rd pencil, whatever.

Not my menstrual cup!

I've always been a fan of mimics being ladders or bridges.

[–] toynbee 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

This is similar to the premise of Prey.

[–] Atlusb 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

[This post is not a mimic]

[–] toynbee 4 points 1 day ago

That seems like something a mimic would say.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

And then we have Starfinder where a mimic can disguise itself as an entire planet!

Can't remember if it was ds2 or ds3 but one of em had bonfire mimics concept arts.

[–] GreenKnight23 1 points 1 day ago

Would be neat if you only realized when the heat coming off them wouldn't match the size of fire. either be to great or too little.

that or no smoke.

The player handbook isn’t a problem, no one reads that thing.

[–] A7thStone 1 points 1 day ago

It's a good way to get rid of your rules lawyer. Everyone hates that guy anyway.

[–] Madison420 1 points 1 day ago

Anal prayer beads because monks is kinky.

[–] iAvicenna 3 points 1 day ago

outhouse oof.

[–] Atlusb 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

What about the party being mimics but don't tell them that.

[–] AeonFelis 2 points 1 day ago

Tell every party member that they are a mimic and need to keep it a secret from the rest of the party.

[–] CaptainBlagbird 5 points 2 days ago

I wanna share this in the group chat, but I don't wanna give the GM any ideas xD

[–] MimicJar 2 points 1 day ago

It's always more fun when mimics team up. A couple of goblins bother the party at night, just enough to give them chase, then when they return, hop into their sleeping bag and boom, mimic.

[–] Jocarnail 1 points 1 day ago

The PHB mimic is starving

[–] PunnyName 1 points 2 days ago

A shirt or your gear.
