The Mimic
Armored and belligerent, a half-orc charges head first into a nest of giant spiders. The many-legged and many-eyed monstrosities look on greedily, expecting easy prey. But he opens his mouth and a torrent of flame spills forth, turning their webs to ash and scattering them like house pests.
A half-elf, moving sight unseen, carefully crawls up the side of a slippery cavern wall and comes to a stop upside-down, the ambush set for a pack of unwary goblins headed her way. She knows all of their secrets, and she's only too willing to use them.
Jaw set, a human stares down an approaching troll. The ravenous giant pulls back a clawed hand and is about to strike when its intended meal distends its mouth and suddenly swallows the larger creature whole, leaving no trace of the troll behind.
Mimics are spellcasters of a different sort, wielding magics more commonly seen in the hands, claws, or tentacles of monsters. Many are scholars, but the training they undergo is decidedly more practical than theoretical. The best way to learn the tools of the trade is to contend with them.
Monsters and Power
Mimicry is esoteric and dangerous, its very nature rooted in the world beyond cities and walls.
Its practitioners dedicate time and energy to understanding the various monsters which plague the land, not simply to destroy, but to emulate. mimics fight fire with fire, carefully studying mighty beasts, undead horrors, and alien abominations. In that pursuit they rely on select powers, honing their skills without being stretched thin.
Many mimics are motivated by a sense of duty or justice. They have the tools to combat all manner of foul creature, and so stand as protectors to the powerless. Others follow more personal goals, adventuring simply to encounter strange new monsters and expand their repertoires.
Weird Science
Unfortunately, mimicry is a new endeavor and as such often fraught with misunderstandings and skepticism from the arcane establishment. It is also a double edged sword, trying to achieve what monsters can do without being labeled as a monster yourself. These social roadblocks lead most mimics to researching in the field, engaging with monsters up close and personal - not a task for the faint of heart but certainly a necessity. Many will join adventuring parties simply because it gives them better odds of survival while taking notes.

Mimic Discipline
At 1st level, you have started training in one of the Mimic disciplines of your choice: The Gourmand, Immortal Lion, Lore Master, Masquerader, Ringmaster, or Traveler each of which are detailed at the end of the class description.
Each choice grants certain benefits and determines the ability score you will use for your Mimicries.
Your choice grants you features at 6th level, and again at 10th, 14th, and 20th level.
Mimicry
Also at 1st level your study of monsters has reached a breakthrough revealing the art of Mimicry - studies and insights into other creatures that allow you to manifest the features and qualities of monsters.
Mimicry Ability
If one of your Mimicries requires a creature to make a saving throw or when you make a mimicry attack roll, your Mimicry Save DC and Mimicry Attack Modifier are calculated as follows (your Mimicry modifier is determined by your Mimic Discipline learning style):
Mimicry Save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Mimicry modifier
Mimicry Attack Modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Mimicry modifier
Research Journal
Your research journal is your repository of known mimicry. When you gain this feature at 1st level you add two species of your choice from the Case Studies table below, adding their related Mimicry to your research journal.
Case Studies
Species | Mimicry Learned |
---|---|
Brass Dragon Wyrmling, Dragon | (Primordial) Sonic Scream |
Flumph, Aberration | (Cosmic) Limited Telepathy |
Giant Octopus, Beast | (Natural) Adaptive Camouflage |
Grey Ooze, Ooze | (Cosmic) Pseudopod Appendage |
Harpy, Monstrosity | (Mythical) Vanity Mirror |
Imp, Fiend | (Supernatural) Vermin Form |

Needle Blight, Plant | (Natural) Natural Projectiles |
Pegasus, Celestial | (Sacred) Divine Will |
Pixie, Fae | (Mythical) Illumination |
Shadow, Undead | (Supernatural) Shadow Blend |
Learning Mimicry
When you successfully use your discipline's learning style on a creature you automatically learn that creature's species and type, creating a blank entry for that creature in your research journal (eg. Wolf is a species of type Beast; Pixie is a species of type Fey; and Zombie is a species of type Undead etc). You can work for 1 hour as part of a long rest, selecting a blank entry from your research journal to develop a new mimicry for it. Check the Schools of Monsterology table below and select one bestial mimicry that you meet the prerequisites for from the corresponding school of the creature's type. Your choice is added to the species entry in your journal. You can only know one mimicry for each species at a time, unless otherwise specified. You can replace the mimicry associated with an existing species in your journal by using your learning style on that species again and following the process described above, replacing the existing entry instead of learning a new mimicry during your hour's work. Doing so removes the old mimicry from your memorized list if it is currently memorized.
Memorizing And Using Mimicry
You memorize a list of mimicries from those you have available in your research journal. While memorized a mimicry is treated as a class feature for you, and you can make use of it as described. To memorize mimicry, choose any combination of mimicry up to the memorization limit for your level as shown on the mimic table. Using mimicry doesn't remove it from your list. You can change your list of memorized mimicry when you finish a long rest.
Memorizing a new list of mimicry requires time spent studying your research journal and meditating: at least 5 minutes per mimicry.
Libra
At 2nd level, your extensive documentation on different species can be used to learn about creatures. As an action you can learn information about another creature, the DM reveals one of the following characteristics about it of your choice:

- Armor Class
- Current Hit Points
- A random condition or damage immunity (if any)
- Condition immunities
- Damage resistances
- Damage vulnerabilities
- Damage immunities
- Is Legendary? (Can use legendary resistance or legendary actions)
Once you use this feature, you can't learn additional information from the same creature again until you finish a short or long rest.
Research Specialization
Every Mimic has their favorite Monsterology schools to study, ensuring you additional insights going forward. Select two Monsterology schools as your areas of specialty. From 3rd level, every time you gain a level in this class your research reveals one new creature of a type related to one of the schools (your DM can advise you of an appropriate creature for your level). You can add a new blank entry for that species to your research journal.
Ability Score Improvement
When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can’t increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.
Bestial Might
At 5th level, attacks granted to you by Mimicry and Class Features are imbued with your growing power and now count as magical for the purposes of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage.
Faux Mastery
At 7th level, at the end of a long rest choose a number of bestial mimicries with no requirements that have the 'trait' tag equal to your constitution modifier (minimum 1). These mimicries are now considered memorized but do not count against your total number of memorized mimicry.
Fearless Fare
Your line of work requires that you put yourself in harms way to further your own progress. To be a mimic is to never hesitate in times of desperation, to carry on without worry or fright. At 9th level you become immune to being frightened.
Legendary Mimicry
At 11th level your education and training have prepared you to wield the power of legendary mimicry. If you are able to find and successfully use your learning style on a creature that is a legendary creature, you may select a legendary mimicry from its related school in addition to your regular mimicry. You can only memorize one legendary mimicry at a time as part of your memorized mimicry list, but you can memorize an additional legendary mimicry at 13th, 15th, and 17th level.

Spells can only be cast in this way if they are of a level you can cast and have a casting time of either: an action, bonus action, or reaction. This spell uses your spellcasting ability, and acts as if you had cast it normally but does not cost you any MP.

If you succeed you magically capture a small portion of the creature's essence in a magically constructed mask you can immediately put on as a free action. The mask takes on the creature's likeness, but its exact appearance is up to you. The mask is enchanted with the creatures essence, wearing the mask grants you the following benefits.
- Advantage to Charisma ability checks against members of its species.
- You can mimic its voice with uncanny accuracy; A creature can determine the voice is illegitimate with a successful Intelligence (Investigation) check against your mimicry save DC.

The creature feels a sense of inferiority, it subtracts 1d4 from its next attack roll, ability check or saving throw.
If the creature succeeds at the contested roll, you instead suffer one point of exhaustion as it saps from your essence instead, feeling a sense of superiority over you.
Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.
Deconstruct. At any time while you possess a mask created by your Captivating Visage feature you can magically deconstruct the mask, adding a new mimicry to your research journal for the species the mask is based on. The mask then crumbles into dust.

- The creature has disadvantage on its next attack against you.
A thousand Faces

You can only wear multiple masks for up to 1 minute. If you decide to equip three masks you suffer one point of exhaustion upon removing the masks.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, regaining all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
Capricious Form
At 20th level, you can become one with the beast itself to utterly transform yourself. As an action you can transform yourself as if under the effect of a true polymorph spell for up to 1 hour, you are subject to the limits of the spell. While transformed this way you can revert back to your normal form at any time at no action cost.
Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.
Ring Master
The troupe of the Masked Carnival are quite unlike other Mimics. Rather than spend all day in a stuffy study or a sweaty dojo, they'd prefer to be on the road with their beast by their side putting on a show! These Mimics have discovered how to manifest their beast outside their physical form, and together they entertain, perform, and dazzle the world by working together as a team.
Showman's Proficiencies
When you choose this discipline at 1st level, you gain proficiency with the Animal Handling skill or expertise if you are already proficient, as well as whips.
Bestial Avatar
Also at 1st level, your unique relationship with the inner
beast allows you to conjure an avatar of it. Your bestial
avatar acts as your companion, accompanies you on your
adventures, and is trained to fight alongside you.
The avatar obeys your commands as best it can. It rolls
initiative like any other creature, but you determine its
actions, decisions, and attitude (no action required by you).
When you and your avatar roll initiative, your avatar can
change initiative to match your own. If you are absent or
incapacitated, your avatar acts on its own.
Your avatar has statistics determined in part by your
level. All avatars begin using the stats for the Avatar of the
Beast detailed below, though you decide its appearance and
what melee attack it uses (eg. a bite, claws, or a tail etc.).

own. It has a natural armor class of 10 + its Constitution
modifier

cannot wear barding or attune
to, or activate, magic items.

level after 1st, your avatar companion
gains an
additional Hit Die and increases

your
Mimic level for the purposes of
calculating spells like
polymorph and
true polymorph.
When you gain the Ability Score Improvement

feature, your avatar's abilities also improve.
Your avatar can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or it can
increase two ability scores of your choice by 1.
As normal,
your avatar can't increase an ability score above 20 using

Keen Hearing and Smell. The beast has advantage on Wisdom(Perception) checks that rely on hearing or smell.
Actions
Basic Attack. Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 4 (1d4 + 2) piercing damage.
Learning Style
Finally at 1st level, you discover how to acquire new mimicry from the creatures of the world. The ringmaster learns by teaching their beast to master the tricks they've seen their foes use. You gain the following features:
Mimicry Modifier: Charisma
Bestial Training. As part of a long rest you can spend an hour training your beast, trying to teach it a new mimicry. Select a creature you have encountered and make three Wisdom(Animal Handling) checks against your own mimicry save DC. Track the number of successes you roll. It takes three successes for the beast to fully understand the lesson, allowing you to add a new mimicry to your research journal for the species you based the lesson on. If you don't achieve enough successes you can continue training as part of the next long rest, giving the beast time to rest and clear its mind. If you suffer two consecutive failures, you subtract one success from its progress, to a minimum of 0 successors. If you start training the beast lessons based on a different creature, it loses all progress made for any other.
Bestial Memory. As part of your morning meditation, your avatar can memorize a single mimicry from your research journal that does not have any prerequisites. The avatar uses your mimicry attack bonus and mimicry save DC as required. You can't both have the same mimicry memorized.
Life in the Spotlight
At 6th level, your life of experience with showmanship grants you unique benefits:
- You have advantage on Charisma (Performance) checks to gather a crowds attention
- Your deeper understanding of monsters allows you to use the Wisdom (Animal Handling) skill with non-beast creatures to intuit their intentions.
- You can use your bonus action to rally your bestial avatar giving it advantage on its next attack roll, saving throw or ability check before the start of your next turn. You can do this a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus and regain all uses after completing a long rest. Landing a critical success on any attack roll, saving throw or ability check allows you to rally your avatar at no cost.
Food motivated
Also at 6th level, you've gotten to know your beast and can take advantage of its simple motivations. If you incorporate 1lb of meat from the creature your lesson is based on, you have advantage on each of the animal handling checks made for that creature's lesson.
Fast Learner
From 10th level, your beast manifests more mimicries you have learned. As part of your morning meditation, your avatar can memorize a number of bestial mimicry it meets the prerequisites for from your research journal equal to half your proficiency bonus rounded down. You can't both have the same mimicry memorized. Bestial Memory does not count against these memorized mimicries.
Tandem Strike
Starting at 14th level you've developed a synergy with your beast. Whenever you take an action that deals damage or applies a condition to a target you can choose one of the targets affected. Your beast can immediately move up to its speed and make an attack against the target at no action cost.
Unrivaled Performance
At 20th level, your beast has grown to full strength, and can effortlessly wield the mimicry you share. Your beast can memorize one legendary mimicry it meets the prerequisites for from your research journal. You can't both have the same legendary mimicry memorized.
Traveler
Knowledge and the love of new wonders give these mimics meaning, purpose. They follow the adage of experiencing everything at least once, to try, fail, and pick themselves backup. The Travelers are eagerly wanderlust to see the plane for all its magically worth and to dream of ever greater possibilities.
Traveler's Proficiencies
When you choose this discipline at 1st level you gain proficiency in cartographer's tools.
Mighty Guard
Also at 1st level your body takes on physical traits and aspects of the toughest monsters. You can reduce any damage you take by an amount equal to your proficiency bonus.
Learning Style
Also at 1st level you have discovered how to acquire mimicry from the creatures of the world. Traveler's achieve this through first hand experience, choosing to experience the effects of a creatures attack in order to better replicate them. You gain the following features:
Mimicry Modifier: Wisdom
Endure Scars: When you are targeted or in the AoE of a spell, special action or attack you can choose to fail the saving throw and reduce your AC to 0 taking the full effect of the action. If you take damage or suffer a condition as a result of this action, you can add a new blank entry to your research journal for the attacker's species.
You must finish a long rest before you can use this feature again.
Intercept: when a creature you can see within 15 feet of you is targeted by an attack, spell or special action you can use your reaction to swap places with them taking the hit in their place. Once you use this reaction you can choose whether you want to Endure scars or not.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus.
At 6th level when you use Intercept or Endure Scars you gain resistance to all damage until the start of your next turn.
Wayward Rover
Starting at 6th level your experience traveling grants you the following benefits:
- Choose two skills from: History, Nature, Insight, Perception, Survival. You gain proficiency in those skills or expertise if you already have proficiency.
- When traveling, you motivate yourself and your companions to move at a faster pace than usual. When calculating travel speed, add 100 feet per minute, 1 mile per hour, or 6 miles per day to the normal speeds given in the PHB on page 182 under the Travel Pace table. When moving towards dangerous situations (DM's discretion advised) you double this effect.
- Your base walking speed increases by 5ft.
Traveler's Ward
Starting at 10th level, whenever you use a mimicry that recharges on a short or long rest, you gain 2d8 temporary hitpoints.
Additionally when you use Intercept you can choose to give both yourself and the creature you swapped with 2d8 temporary hitpoints.
Endless Journey
At 14th level you learn to create a safe haven to rest between your travels. you can create a Demiplane that you can travel to using an action and you can exit the Demiplane at any time using a bonus action. You can choose up to 5 willing creatures to enter the Demiplane with you.
- The demiplane is not an enclosed space; rather, it is an island on an endless, impassable plane, such as an ocean, a sea of fog or a bottomless void.
- The demiplane may extend 100 feet in each dimension and can manifest structures, objects, decorations and weather of your choice. Anything created by the demiplane dissipates into smoke if it is removed.
- While within your own demiplane, you gain the following benefits: If you complete a long rest, you regain all of your hit dice and gain the benefits as if you were the target of the spell Greater Restoration.
- When you exit the Demiplane you can choose an unoccupied space within 60 feet of the space you entered the Demiplane from and appear there.
Limit Break
Upon reaching 20th level, your mastery of stealing and mimicking is unparalleled allowing you drain a creature's divine spark. As an action, choose one creature you can see and force it to make Charisma saving throw against your mimicry DC. On a failed save, you steal 4 points from one of the creature's ability scores, the target's ability score is reduced by 4, and your total in that ability score is increased by the same amount to a maximum of 24. All benefits are lost when this feature is used again. Once you successfully use this ability, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.
Monsterology
Across the world there are monsters to be discovered, each with inner beasts that have evolved in a multitude of ways. The mimic is able to tap into these creature's inner beasts and learn to replicate their unique abilities for their own use through the art of Monsterology - a study of monsters.
Bestial Mimicry
These abilities defy typical magic and can only be manifested through the inner beast, dubbed bestial mimicry. These are the most basic form of mimicries and can be learned from any creature who's species you can enter into your research journal.
Legendary Mimicry
The most powerful kinds of mimicry are legendary mimicries, however they can only be learned from deadly and rare legendary creatures. These mimicries are prized, showing the heights of your ability as a mimic, so are often seen as bragging rights amongst research circles.
Mimicry
The following pages feature the mimic schools of Monsterology tied to bestial mimicry and legendary mimicry. When you learn a new bestial mimicry you can select a mimicry that you qualify for from the school associated with the creature's type. Unless otherwise stated, you can only learn each mimicry once. Effects of the same mimicry used multiple times don't combine, and only the most potent effect (eg. highest bonus) applies while durations overlap.
Descriptive Variety
Monsterology provides a lot of descriptive room for players to experiment with when casting spells and using mimicry. You don't have to use the descriptive text provided after all, as long as the effect remains the same! Perhaps you manifest your powers by momentarily transforming your body into the creature you learned it from, or you summon a part, or all of the monster to perform the ability on your behalf? Maybe your powers manifest with the common visual flare of other spellcasters, or perhaps each memorized mimicry alters your body just a little as you gradually become more monstrous over the course of your adventure! The possibilities are endless, so let your imagination go wild!
Prerequisites & Exclusivity
If a mimicry has prerequisites, you must meet them to learn it and you must have the prerequisite mimicry memorized to memorize the dependent mimicry. You can learn the mimicry at the same time that you meet the prerequisites. A level prerequisite refers to your level in this class. If a mimicry has an exclusivity then you cannot memorize more than one mimicry with the same exclusivity tag at the same time.
Cosmic Mimicry
The aberrations and oozes of the world possess some of the strangest and most alien inner beasts that can be found on the material plane.

It looks particularly life-like, but does not hold up to close physical inspection as touch reveals it is all one squishy piece.

The duplicate thinks and acts exactly as you do and follows your orders, although it will not do anything you wouldn't do yourself.
The duplicate has statistics matching yours, and duplicates of your equipment, but duplicated equipment loses any magical properties your originals have. If your duplicate ever loses physical contact with a duplicated piece of equipment, it melts and evaporates. In combat, you roll initiative for the duplicate and control it on its turns.
When created, your current hit points are halved (rounded down) and shared between yourself and the duplicate, it has the same mimicry memorized as you, and other physical traits you had at the time it was created. The duplicate does not preserve spells and other effects active on you when it is created.

Soul Weapon
Mimicry
Trait
Your inner beast can shape and manifest your essence into a weapon to wield against your enemies. You can use your action to create a soul weapon in your empty hand. You can choose the form that this weapon takes each time you create it (see the Weapons section for weapon options). You are proficient with it while you wield it and you can choose to use your Mimicry modifier instead of Strength or Dexterity for the attack and damage rolls. This weapon counts as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage.
Your soul weapon disappears if it is more than 5 feet away from you for 1 minute or more. It also disappears if you use this feature again, if you dismiss the weapon (no action required), or if you die.
You can transform one magic weapon into your soul weapon by performing a special ritual while you hold the weapon. You perform the ritual over the course of 1 hour, which can be done during a short rest. You can then dismiss the weapon, shunting it into an extra-dimensional space, and it appears whenever you create your soul weapon thereafter. You can’t affect an artifact or a sentient weapon in this way. The weapon ceases being your soul weapon if you die, if you perform the 1-hour ritual on a different weapon, or if you use a 1-hour ritual to break your bond to it. The weapon appears at your feet if it is in the extra-dimensional space when the bond breaks.
