Stump Mimic




A curious monstrosity indeed, the stump mimic feeds off of and adores woodland creatures in equal measure. It prefers a tranquil existence where forest beasts treat it as a valued ally and it can influence them to bring it better prey. But if worse comes to worst, it's not above consuming its 'friends'. The mimic's favored prey is humanoids, of course, though it likes to pay with its food. Its strange nature puts them into a fugue state making them easier to eat or the beats under its thrall to assault.

Shapechanger.

The mimic can use its action to polymorph into a tree stump 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 12). Ability checks made to escape this grapple have disadvantage.

Grappler.

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

Study Buddy.

Allied creatures within 5ft of the mimic gain advantages on Intelligence-related skill checks.

Limited Telepathy.

The mimic can magically communicate simple ideas, emotions, and images telepathically with any creature it has charmed within 90 ft. of it.

Stumped.

All creatures with an Intelligence 4 or greater that start their turn within 30ft of the mimic or enter this area of effect for the first time must succeed on a DC 13 Intelligence save or become Forgetful for the next minute. If a creature fails this save by 5 or more the duration becomes 24 hours. A Forgetful creature cannot take Reactions and can take Actions or Bonus Actions on their turn but not both. In addition, they have Disadvantage on any Intelligence or Wisdom related skill checks. An affected creature may repeat this save at the end of each of their turns with the effect ending on success unless they failed the save by 5 or more. A creature that saves against the mimic's Stumped is immune to it for the next 24 hours.

Actions

Multiattack.

The mimic makes two Pseudopod attacks and one Bite attack.

Pseuedpod.

Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 6 (1d8 + 2) bludgeoning damage. If the mimic is in object form, the target is subjected to its Adhesive trait.

Bite.

Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 6 (1d6 + 3) piercing damage plus 4 (1d8) acid damage.

Happy Tree Friend.

The mimic chooses up to 4 beasts it can see within 30ft and psychically sways them to its side. If a beast's Intelligence is 4 or higher, the action fails. Otherwise, the beast must succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or be charmed by the mimic for the spell's duration. If the mimic deals damage to a charmed creature this effect ends. This effect can affect beast swarms even if they are normally immune to charm.

Coffer Mimic

Most adventurers have either encountered or heard a story of an encounter with a mimic disguised as a chest. This is so common that everyone assumes a chest might just be a mimic. Hopefully, they never run across this monstrosity. Bred and trained by The Moneylender to protect his ill-gotten fortune, these mimics take the form of high-quality chests and possess greedy souls. They horde treasure and protect it fiercely. The more booty the mimic holds, the tougher it becomes - even more so when it robs the dead. If they get too aggressive, the Moneylender sells them off to other villains to populate their castles and dungeons.

Warlock Patron: The Embalmed

You have made a pact with an ancient mummy that while forever entombed beneath sun-scorched sand or impenetrable jungle, can reach out from its sepulcher to influence the living. Perhaps the undead horror was once a powerful sorcerer-king, high priestess of an extinct civilization, or the last remnant of a lost, terrible race. Its agenda and goals match a forgotten age and the mummy's capricious whims. Often the warlock is tasked with recovering artifacts tied to the sarcophagus-trapped horror or its civilization. Some mummies seek to futilely seek to be released from their prison, while others just want to be remembered as a figure of glory and power. Expanded Spell List The Embalmed lets you choose from an expanded list of Spells when you learn a Warlock spell.

Gears

Gears can't remember if he was a dwarven hero or a condemned criminal. Either way, he is more cogwork than flesh now and driven to mete out justice with his metal fists. He was first deployed during an intense goblin invasion of a dwarven stronghold. Initially he served as something between a shocktroop and a living weapon, but this cigar chopping 'cyborg' inspired the dwarven defenders fighting along side of him to the point that he became a mascot, then a leader. More times than one could count, he should have gone down under a barrage of attacks only to plow forward losing more flesh and blood later replaced with mithril and steel. Eventually, Gears lost every last dwarf he fought along side and just kept killing goblins whenever he could until the fortress housed him alone. Now he wanders the world, making things right the best he can one punch at a time. Gears Medium construct (dwarf), chaotic good Armor Class 12 (natural armor) ...
