Wondrous Item, uncommon
This robe has cloth patches of various shapes and colors covering it. While wearing the robe, you can take a Magic action to detach one of the patches, causing it to become the object or creature it represents. Once the last patch is removed, the robe becomes an ordinary garment.
The robe has two of each of the following patches:

Posted Feb 25, 2025An uncommon magic item costs 400gp. One of the items this could have is 10 gemstones worth 100gp each. Another item is a silver coffer worth 500gp. It has 4-16 of these other items. Possibly it could have 20 gemstones worth 2k gp total. Can someone help me understand the math behind this?? (Were the designers and editors not paying attention? The same thing was true of this item back in 2014).

Posted Mar 1, 2025Because its fun. Things do not have to be balanced or faire for the game to be fun for everyone, it also says DM can pick the random patches and can just not pick the massive amount of gold or OR make it a plot point now thieves and bandits have gotten wind of your legendary magical money making robe and are hunting you. This is D&D Math never has to Math here for here there be dragons and mimics.
Also fyi i am 100% not a mimic.

Posted May 21, 2025The average value, rolling on the table 4d4 times, of the stuff that has a defined cost or value (so, say you can sell 2 mastiffs for 25 gold each), is slightly over 1500 gp.
I can use my bastion action to make these for 200 gp each.
Just saying... why have a gaming hall when you can have a sweatshop of robe making?
