			== Physical Qualities ==

			All mimics look broadly the same, like large treasure chests with bare arms and legs. However, the shade and grain of the wood, the design of the metalwork, even the shape of the keyhole all go to differentiate individuals. It can still be slightly tricky for people not entirely familiar with mimics to tell two apart. Their arms and legs, though they look to be made of flesh, are composed of the same hardy material as their pseudo-wooden bodies, meaning that they do not require shoes or boots to protect their feet against rough terrain. It can still be somewhat disconcerting to see a weary mimic start sanding down his soles at the end of a day's travel, regardless of how often one has kept company with them.

			The internal workings of the mimic are a mystery to most people (and most mimics). When they open the lid that serves as their mouth (which can warp and distort to allow them to speak words), they reveal an empty space within that seems to stretch down further than it should. Indeed, it does, for mimics can carry more within themselves than they should by outer dimensions alone. This increases with age, to the point where elder mimics often keep all their worldly possessions within themselves. Mimics also have the innate ability to find whatever they want after a brief moment of fishing around inside their mouth, as if the entire contents rearrange themselves at the mimic's subconscious whim to hasten the search. Others reaching in (which the mimic will allow on a basis of personal trust) will take longer to uncover the item they seek.

			There is a limit to what a mimic can take in, as heralded by the old mimic saying "Never eat anything bigger than your own head." Recent magical research has demonstrated that enlarging the mimic to unnatural sizes can work around this - so long as the mimic is large enough when consuming or disgorging the item, their size when carrying it is of no concern. However, they report feelings of "being full fit to bursting" when carrying an item larger than themselves.

			== Playing a Mimic ==

			All mimics are born traders, born from the time when their distant ancestors would aggressively negotiate with the other dungeon denizens for items to swallow. But the days of beating goblins round the head until they give you gold are long gone, so the mimics have had to move with the times and work on strategies of commerce. Although some still quite enjoy the physical aspect of beating people round the head.

When you do so, you ignore the power's requirement and action type, and your target is the creature that triggered the opportunity attack.

			= Racial Backgrounds =

			=== Hustler ===

			You are a merchant by profession. More accurately, you are a conman. You use your gift of gab to outwit and bamboozle marks with ease. Is this a natural talent? Does it run in the family? Is it a blessing or a curse? Have you ever gotten in serious trouble because of it? Perhaps you see the world as one big opportunity to get rich. Or do you have some altruism in your soul?

			'''Associated Skills:''' Bluff, Insight

			=== Magic Cabinet ===

			You have spent a long time in the company of arcanists, or perhaps you are an arcanist yourself. Perhaps a lifetime of storing magical trinkets within your maw has given you enhanced senses, or an ability to discern magic easily. Do you approach such things with serious study? Do you just put any old thing in your mouth? Perhaps you were once in the service of a great and powerful wizard, and you learned your craft from watching him.

			'''Associated Skills:''' Arcana, Perception

			=== Spelunker ===

			You don't just venture into dungeons, you ''dwell'' in them. Old tombs, lost cities, caves - you've sat in all of them and pretended to be a treasure chest. Perhaps you do this to feel closer to your ancestors. Or maybe because you're weird? Have you gained a thirst for adventuring so you can see the great dungeons of the world? Do you want to ambush unwary dungeon denizens and steal their stuff? Have you ever had second thoughts about your predilection to dungeon dwelling?

			'''Associated Skills:''' Dungeoneering, Stealth
