Description
Plate consists of shaped, interlocking metal plates to cover the entire body. A suit of plate includes gauntlets, heavy leather boots, a visored helmet, and thick layers of padding underneath the armor. Buckles and straps distribute the weight over the body.
he mundane appearance of this suit of armor belies the danger of its true nature. The wood feels soft and sticky to the touch, and eyes and teeth spontaneously form all over its surface as the mimic grows bolder... and hungrier. Sticky Situation. While you're wearing this armor, creatures have disadvantage on ability checks made to avoid or escape being grappled by you. A creature grappled by you takes 1d12 acid damage at the start of each of its turns. The item has the Quick Grip and Tongue Lash properties.
Quick Grip: While wearing this armor, you can attempt to grapple a creature as a bonus action.
Tongue Lash: While wearing this armor, you can use a bonus action to cause the mimic's tongue to elongate and attempt to pull a creature you can see within 15 feet of you. The target must succeed on a DC 16 Strength saving throw or take 1d6 bludgeoning damage and be pulled up to 15 feet towards you. A Huge or larger creature automatically succeeds on this saving throw. If this property pulls a creature to within 5 feet of you, you can immediately attempt to grapple it as part of the same bonus action.
The wearer has disadvantage on Stealth (Dexterity) checks.
If the wearer has a Strength score lower than 15, their speed is reduced by 10 feet.
