Greatcoat Mimic




A relative of the Scarf Mimic, the Greatcoat Mimic seeks out creatures in need of its protection. No one is sure why this is, though the prevailing theory is that the first coat mimic was cursed by a winter fey or festive saint it attacked. Now it must protect others from the harsh climate and other foes. If so, it seems this curse passed on to its spawn. It uses its pseudopods not only to attack enemies but also to keep its ward upright and moving as needed.

Shapechanger.

The mimic can use its action to polymorph into a fine, long coat or back into its true, amorphous form. Its statistics are the same in each form. Any equipment it is wearing or carrying isn't transformed. It reverts to its true form if it dies.

Adhesive (Object Form Only).

The mimic adheres to anything that touches it. A Huge or smaller creature adhered to the mimic is also grappled by it (escape DC 13). Ability checks made to escape this grapple have disadvantage. A creature that the mimic is bonded too is not affective by the Adhesive ability unless the mimic wishes to do so.

False Appearance (Object Form Only).

While the mimic remains motionless, it is indistinguishable from a fine, long coat.

Coat Tails (Object Form Only).

If the mimic is worn by a creature it is bonded to, it provides that creature a +1 armor class and the ability to move at full speed over difficult terrain due to icy/winter conditions without fear of falling.

Grappler.

The mimic has advantage on attack rolls against any creature grappled by it.

Limited Telepathy.

The mimic can magically communicate simple ideas, emotions, and images telepathically with its bonded creature within 30 ft. of it.

Actions

Pseudopod.

Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 7 (1d8 + 3) bludgeoning damage. If the mimic is in object form, the target is subjected to its Adhesive trait..

Bite.

Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 7 (1d8 + 3) piercing damage plus 4 (1d8) acid damage.

Reactions

Coat of Arms (Object Form Only).

Whenever a bonded creature wearing the mimic must make a Save to not be knocked prone, the mimic may use its reaction to make the creature immune to the condition until the start of its next turn. Whenever a bonded creature wearing the mimic is incapacitated, the mimic may use its reaction to move itself and the creature up to 15ft. This movement does not provoke opportunity attacks.


Mimics of a Feather

If the Scarf Mimic and Coat Mimic are worn at the same time by a bonded creature, that creature becomes immune to cold damage.

Knave of Knights

Bound to the Cavalcade of the King of Fools , this fallen angels wears a mockup of platemail armor crafted from bright pressed velvet and knitted wool but his weapons are nevertheless quite real. Said weapons are a whip crafted from liars's tongues and a lance of hell iron he wields as if it was made from driftwood. The stub of burnt wings jut from his back with multi-colored streamers dangling from the charred bones. The Knave of Knights fell in with the Cavalcade when he vowed to defend a rightful king's right to rule, only to find out that the sire he fell in with was a bastard usurper who had successfully taken his brother's place. Cursed and broken mentally by the deception, he was easily felled by the King of Fools and given a new place at the archdevil's side serving as his jester and favored knight all wrapped into one.

The Black Lady

The Black Lady claims to be the The King of Fools' concubine and takes pride in the title despite how other devils look down on her and the rest of the cavalcade for it. She adores the 'silly' archdevil to no end and works tirelessly to ensure that the devils beneath him show the properly courtly respect that her lord is due... if he is around. Otherwise, she focuses more on vicious gossip, violent fetes, and malicious matchmaking. Pitch black in skin with burning red eyes, the Black Lady's legs end in smolding pig hooves while long, curled horns poke from her ebony coiffure. She wears a variety of overy fancy dresses that are always stripped, monochrome, and risque. One accessory she is never without is an enchanted fan made from burnt angel feathers. This fan is as sharp as any demon's claws and will always return to her hand. The Black Lady Medium Fiend (devil), lawful evil Armor Class 22 (natural armor) Hit Points...

Crackle

A singular being, Crackle is a bolt of lightning given sentience after hiting a monk meditating atop the mountain. In fact, it believes it is that very monk reincarbated from a smoldering husk instead of the force which killed it. Crackle takes on a humanoid shape, chaning its lighting to appear to have skin and clothing. However, ripples of electricity constantly wiggle along its form. Often times its hair, clothing, and arms will clip through one another for Crackle is an imperfect copy. Crackle travels about, driven by a strong sense of law if not justice. It has a hard time empathizing with other points of view than the one it adopted and flies into a rage when pressed on its true nature.
