[QUOTE="Rel, post: 858361, member: 99"] I'm not sure if the rest of my post will be very helpful, but this first part is VERY important: Get yourself a little blob of Play-Doh (tm) to represent the Mimic on the battlemat (assuming you use one). Nothing makes a session more fun than wrapping a blob of Play-Doh around someone's figure. :D The way I ran a Mimic at a recent game-day was this: On a hit with the slam attack, the Mimic got a free grapple attempt. If you failed the opposed check, you were grappled. The next round, you got automatically slammed and the Mimic tried to Pin you. If the Mimic succeeded in the Pin, he just sort of sat on you and tried to slam somebody else. This meant that the first person to encounter the thing wasn't automatically beaten until dead and I got to attack some of the other party members with it. I know that this is probably not quite an accurate rules interpretation. But everybody had fun and the dwarf fighter lost the back side of her trousers and was bare-bottomed for the rest of the adventure. So it all worked out for the best. :D [/QUOTE]
