Warlock Patron The Mimic

• Perhaps you unknowingly wandered into what appeared to be a grand manor, only to discover—too late—that it was a massive, ancient Mimic lying in wait. Whether you struck a deal out of desperation or were bound against your will, you now serve this cunning entity. In return, it grants you the power to summon its spawn—ravenous mimics that fight at your side, so long as they are fed by the bodies of your fallen foes.

Level 3: Mimic Summoning Ritual

• 3rd-level transmutation

  Casting Time: 1 hour
  Range: Touch
  Components: V, S, M (two weapons, pieces of armor, or shields, which are consumed)
  Duration: Instantaneous

  You perform a special ritual to bind a Mimic to you, calling forth a shapeshifting companion from beyond. The ritual requires the offering of two weapons, pieces of armor, or shields (in any combination), which are devoured by the summoned Mimic.

  • HP & Durability: The Mimic has hit points equal to 1d4 × your Fighter level. If reduced to 0 HP, it dies and dissolves into nothingness.
  • Bonded Form: Upon summoning, the Mimic can take the form of weapons, armor, or shields, depending on the items consumed. You choose its starting form upon completion of the ritual.
  • Magical Properties: If the sacrificed items were magical, the Mimic retains their magical properties when assuming their form (e.g., if a +1 sword was offered, the Mimic weapon will be a +1 weapon).
  • Mimic's Adaptation: If the Mimic devours additional items after the ritual, it can only copy their physical properties (such as damage type, AC bonus, or shape), not magical enchantments.
  • Dismissal & Resummoning: You may dismiss your Mimic as a bonus action, calling it forth again at will. If your Mimic is destroyed, you can perform this ritual again after a short or long rest to summon a new one.
  • Fire Vulnerability: The Mimic is vulnerable to fire. When an enemy deals fire damage to the Mimic, the attack has Advantage against it.

   

Level 3: Living Arsenal

• Level 3: Upon summoning your Mimic, you choose its specialization: either Weapon or Armor/Shield. You can change this specialization once per Short Rest, adapting to different combat situations.

• Bonus Action Transformation & Shapechanger:
  As a Bonus Action, the Mimic can transform into one of the last two objects it has devoured, limited to weapon, armor, or shield, based on its specialization from the Mimic Summoning Ritual. It gains the magical properties of these objects. While specialized in one of these types, the Mimic loses the ability to transform into any other object except its true, amorphous form.

  The Mimic can also polymorph into its true, amorphous form, losing all magical properties while in this state.

Armor/Shield Specialization:

• Armor/Shield Devouring: Your Mimic can consume and transform into the last armor set or shield it has devoured, granting its respective AC bonus.
• Mimic Resilience: While wearing Mimic Armor or wielding a Mimic Shield, you use The Mimic's HP as Temporary HP (1d4 × Fighter level).
• Adaptive Protection: The Mimic reinforces your defenses, granting +AC = Con Modifier while worn or wielded.
• Adhesive Trap (Reaction): When an enemy makes a melee attack against you, you can use your Reaction to coat the area in Mimic adhesive. The attacker must make a DC 10 Dexterity saving throw (with disadvantage):
  • Failure: The attacker (or their weapon) is grappled by the Mimic (Escape DC 10, Strength check).
  • Roll of 5 or Lower: The Mimic Can Either use Bite to the attacker or Weapon Devourer to the weapon.

Weapon Specialization:

• Weapon Specialization:
  Weapon Specialization grants the user advantage on attack rolls, ensuring a target is hit by the Mimic shifting in weapon form.

  Weapon Devouring:
  Your Mimic can consume weapons, transforming into the last two it has devoured.

  Adaptive Weapon:
  You can use a Free Bonus Action once per turn to:

  • Switch to one of the last two weapons the Mimic has devoured.
  • Change the weapon’s damage type between Bludgeoning, Slashing, or Piercing.

  Shred:
  After every melee hit, the Mimic automatically makes a Bite attack against the same target.
