The Mimic Blade

Whether it be a boon from a powerful patron, or a chance discovery, you are now bound to a blade. And while the blade may seem mundane, it's appearance hides an interesting truth. This blade is actually a Mimic, but one unlike any other. This Mimic is powerful, and able to pass its abilities to the wielder, allowing them to shift into the form of an inanimate object or even meld into walls. The Mimic can also take the shape of any bladed martial weapon, granting various benefits depending on which form it takes. However, this power comes with a price. The Mimic must be fed regularly. Should the Mimic be neglected, the wielder could lose control and the Mimic will seek its own food, which very well may include the wielder and their party. 

Expanded Spell List

The Mimic Blade lets you choose from an expanded list of spells when you learn a warlock spell. The following spells are added to the warlock spell list for you.

Mimic Blade Expanded Spells

Ravenous Intent

Starting at 1st level, you gain the ability to direct your Mimic's hunger towards someone. As a bonus action, choose one creature you can see within 30 feet of you. The target is focused on for 1 minute. The focus ends early if the target dies, you die, or you are incapacitated. Until the focus ends, you gain the following benefits:

• You gain a bonus to damage rolls against the focused target. The bonus equals your proficiency bonus.
• Any attack roll you make against the focused target is a critical hit on a roll of 19 or 20 on the d20.
• If the focused target dies, you regain hit points equal to your warlock level + your Charisma modifier (minimum of 1 hit point).

You can’t use this feature again until you finish a short or long rest.

Shifting Acolyte

At 1st level, you acquire the training necessary to effectively arm yourself for battle. You gain proficiency with medium armor and martial weapons.

The power of your Mimic is channeled through you, allowing you to change your shape to match any inanimate object. Whenever you finish a long rest, you can use your action to change into an inanimate object for one hour, or until you are damaged. You are able to do this a number of times equal to your CHA modifier. Additionally, when you attack using your Mimic, you can use your Charisma modifier, instead of Strength or Dexterity, for the attack and damage rolls. As a bonus action, you may have your Mimic change into one of these weapons: Battleaxe, Glaive, Shortsword, or Warhammer and its damage is that of the chosen weapon.

Monstrous Visage

Starting at 6th level, you can command your Mimic to reveal its true nature, causing all creatures around you to make a Wisdom saving throw (10+CHA modifier+PB) or be frightened of you for the next minute.

If the creature is aware of your weapons true nature, the DC becomes 10

Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest.

Protective Vindication

Your Mimic acknowledges you as a beneficial ally and will start to protect you from incoming damage, or lash out at those who do harm you.

Starting at 6th level, you may use your reaction to cast either the spell Shield, or the spell Hellish Rebuke upon a successful enemy attack without expending a spell slot. For the purpose of resistance, your Hellish Rebuke deals Acid damage. You may do this a number of times equal to your CHA modifier.

You regain all uses after a short rest.

Greater Arsenal

At 10th level, your Mimic is able to take on more powerful forms of weaponry. Its shortsword is now a longsword, its battle axe is now a great axe, its glaive is now a lance, and its warhammer is now a great hammer. Also, each weapon form allows you to choose one additional Invocation. However, you only have access to the specific Invocation associated with the current weapon form.

Ravenous Hunger

Starting at 14th level, you can cause your Mimic to go into a voracious frenzy, causing enemies affected with Ravenous Intent to take double damage from Melee attacks with your Mimic a number of attacks equal to half of your PB. 

After using this feature, you must complete a long rest before it can be used again.
