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.
Why thank you Sir Picard. I have one very paranoid group of players now though, lol.
Now you can play off that!
You could give them something that really seems like a trap, but is totally benign.
