Part 1:
Can’t remember if it was ds2 or ds3 but one of em had bonfire mimics concept arts.
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.
And then we have Starfinder where a mimic can disguise itself as an entire planet!
Bonus Konsi?
What do you mean
- Meme Pose
Is this #9 of things mimics can turn into‽
This was part of my october drawing prompts, the prompt was “meme pose”
Artist circles on Twitter (although now it’s blue sky) have a bunch of “meme” drawing challenges. Most commonly “outfit” challenges where you have to draw your character wearing a specific outfit. These challenges are like artist “memes”, seeing other people do them causes them to spread. Pose memes are less common, but there are a few.
This pose is the “cammy stretch” meme pose: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/cammy-stretch
Definitely did not expect Konsi doing a Street Fighter 6 Cammy cosplay.
This one caused me so much trouble! I went into it thinking “this will be easy” but it’s surprisingly hard to get right.
I don’t think I 100% got it, her body proportions are too human (Konsi is 4ft tall) - but it was a lot of fun to try. Daily drawing challenges aren’t about being perfect, they’re about just getting the thing done and learning from it.
Not a Konsi Mimic?
Closest I have is this:
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.
OP delivers!
sprinkle something green and red and it becomes crissmass-y
Slimesi
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.
My party do have a pet mimic. He’s called Philip and is mostly there for comic relief although he has been known to help with puzzles and things occasionally
Thrown weapon mimic, like a javelin. Enemy picks it up to throw back and bam, surprise bite!!!
The Flee, Mortals! book has a mimic companion stat block. It can cover you and act as active camouflage.
I think in the early editions they said that mimics were only really effective at imitating wood and stone. I agree that mimic chests are done to death but “anything could be a mimic” would get old fast I fear. Limiting them to only some materials but then getting creative within those limits would keep it interesting without it feeling like a cheap jumpscare.
But, if we’re going to get into DM advice, the way I’d recommend stopping “anything could be a mimic” from getting old is to have it constrained to a themed side-adventure, or a one-shot. For example: A wizard tower where the guy’s one weird hobby was breeding and training mimics. In such an adventure, you want to start fairly tame, but towards the end, the more outlandish and ridiculous the better.
As for the constraints on mimic forms, most of my DnD based jokes use 5e as their basis, as that’s what the majority of my audience are likely using.
Oh totally. I didn’t mean that as a criticism of the comic, I really like the comic. Your artstyle is very distinct and charming. It just got me thinking about how to run mimics generally. A mimic wizard one-shot sounds like a lot of fun.
Spyglass: thoomp
The PHB mimic is starving
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 😱
For your viewing pleasure
A classic.
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.
What about the party being mimics but don’t tell them that.
Tell every party member that they are a mimic and need to keep it a secret from the rest of the party.
This is similar to the premise of Prey.
[This post is not a mimic]
That seems like something a mimic would say.
I wanna share this in the group chat, but I don’t wanna give the GM any ideas xD
The player handbook isn’t a problem, no one reads that thing.
It’s a good way to get rid of your rules lawyer. Everyone hates that guy anyway.
outhouse oof.
