[QUOTE="Grue, post: 4653576, member: 11989"] It occupies that odd little niche between magic item and construct. I think in 2e they were 2,000 gp but the pricing seems a little off for 3e. I did find a stat bloc after digging around a bit more at Planewalker but it seems a bit geared for using a mimir as a familiar (tiny construct with weapon finesse (bite)). Not sure if 2e ever statted up the mimir implicitly as a magic item either but I'm leaning towards the 'mimir's are tape-recorders that can cross reference entries' rather than the portable flying sage camp. So before I did any real work on it for my campaign to come up with something close, I figured I'd ask around:) Anyway for completeness here's the anonymous monster entry I found at planewalker-- Thu, 01/01/2004 - 07:00 — Anonymous Tiny Construct Hit Dice: 1/2d10 (2 hp) Initiative: +2 (Dex) Speed: Fly 40 ft.
