Homebrew Mimickin Species Details

Most mimic folk accept the belief that their ancestors were the products of some kind of magical experimentation, but no one knows for sure.

However it occurred, mimic folk are descended from some magical fusion of humans and mimics the shapeshifting monstrosities. In their natural form, mimic folk are amorphous in shape, with unique properties. For example, their bodies can flow like a liquid but, when pressed upon, become solid. Their skin is gray or purple or green, sticky, and coarse.

Mimic folk rarely display their natural forms, however, reserving that for only their most intimate relationships. Instead, they adopt a humanoid appearance, much like other shapeshifters do, choosing whatever humanoid appearance they prefer.

Mimickin Traits

Darkvision, Mimic, Adhesive Grasp, Amorphous Form

Darkvision

Accustomed to the hidden and shadowy places of the world, you can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can't discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.

Mimic

As an action, you can change your appearance and your voice, including transforming into objects. You determine the specifics of the changes, including your coloration, texture, and size. You can make yourself appear as a member of another race or as an inanimate object, though none of your game statistics change. You can’t duplicate the appearance of an individual you’ve never seen, and you must adopt a form that is within the size range of Medium and Small. Your clothing and equipment aren’t changed by this trait.

When you transform into an object, your speed becomes 0, and you can't take any actions or reactions except to revert to your true form or to end the transformation. You stay in the new form until you use an action to revert to your true form or until you die.

Adhesive Grasp

You have advantage on Strength (Athletics) checks to grapple creatures. Additionally, you can climb on walls and ceilings as if they were difficult terrain.

Amorphous Form

You can revert to your true form, a viscous slime, as an action. In this form, you gain the ability to move through spaces as narrow as 1 inch wide without squeezing. However, your speed is reduced to 10 feet, and you can't take any actions or reactions. All clothing and equipment you are wearing or carrying fall to the ground when you assume this form and remain behind until you return to your humanoid form. You can revert to your humanoid form as an action.
