About[edit | edit source]

Attacks[edit | edit source]
Tactics[edit | edit source]
Mimics are very much ambushers, using their ability to disguise to take their enemies by surprise. When a character approaches a Mimic while disguised, they will make a Perception Skill Check at DC 20. If failed, that character will be Surprised as the fight starts.
The best approach when fighting a Mimic is to make ranged attacks from a distance. Mimics have only half the movement speed of most enemies and most of their attacks are close range. Just be careful that your party is positioned so that their Pseudopod Lash attack does not pull a party member down a chasm or off a cliff face (which can happen while fighting the Mimics in Grymforge). It is also wise to keep extra weapons on hand in case a character has theirs eaten by their Bite attack.
Because of their low Intelligence, Wisdom and Charisma, Mimics are vulnerable to the many spells involving such Saving Throws.
They are also immune to being knocked Prone.
Loot[edit | edit source]
- Gold
- Random mix of common weapons, rings and/or gems.
Handaxe +1 (Grymforge Mimic)
Wondrous Gloves (Grymforge Mimic)
