Homebrew Emulator Species Details
Emulators are clusters of mimics that combine into a humanoid shape made from but not limited to assorted luggage and prized items. They cannot and will not be seperated. Their forms includes books, food and equipment, with eyes and maws that occasionally emerge when secure. If inspected, the emulators will allow one piece to leave the colony, however, no further than 5ft. You may choose your appearance but not alter it.
Emulator Traits
A hidden enclave of shamans befriended mimics and taught them to replicate magical effects. As they lived harmoniously with the shamans, the mimics evolved into emulators, abandoning their predatory traits and becoming unique magic items and advanced tools, far surpassing the technology of their time. When a dragon destroyed and submerged the enclave, its secrets remained buried. Centuries later, heroes exploring the ruins exposed a sealed chamber containing the last surviving emulators. In return for their rescue, the emulators pledged steadfast support and friendship, seeking assistance to restore the lost shaman enclave in the future.Ring of Mind Shielding
