I don't use mimic-like monster, but I want to be able later to use one. This answer the core of the question. | |
| Mar 22, 2019 at 22:07 | comment | added | Quadratic Wizard | @NautArch (and the 7 people who upvoted their comment) - At no point does the asker say they want to use mimics. Their problem is paranoid players frequently mistaking objects for mimics and de-railing the game. My solution directly fixes the stated problem by allowing players to quickly and freely dispel their paranoia. | |
