[QUOTE="Hriston, post: 8689243, member: 6787503"] There is no "becoming a threat". If a creature is going to get into combat with another creature, then it is a threat to that creature, and it always was a threat. So noticing a threat is just noticing a threat. A threat can also be hidden, which is sometimes referred to as a stealthy creature. No, it doesn't. It says, "While the mimic remains motionless," so if the mimic doesn't remain motionless, guess what? It doesn't work! No, because the mimic doesn't need to interact with you to try to convince you it's really a chest. The False Appearance takes care of that. All the mimic needs to do is remain motionless, which is exactly what an unseen or invisible creature might need to do to try to hide. The Sage Advice Compendium, that you quoted, literally says you can "be caught off guard, ... because you failed to notice foes being stealthy" which is the exact opposite of what you're saying here. I've made no such argument. I have no idea what you're talking about. [/QUOTE]
