Meta Game Mimic Leveling

by Gygax Mimic

So this is me Kultach, writing about Gygax as the player and the plan, and maybe some history.
There I was, bored and wanting to play some D&D, when I found the message board.
There was a post about 3.5 monster Monday gaming, and I thought randomly open a book and play said monster.
Thus Gygax the Mimic was born. I did many hours of searching books and the web for mimic info.
Found much and selected, advantage Gygax, all the good stuff. Wow is there a lot out there. I really had no clue.
 
So the Gygax self written journal does have a lot of the info for mimics I will be using. Here I will add some for the future of Gygax.
This is something that has been discussed with a DM, yes you know who I am talking about.
 
When Gygax became sentient, reasoning unknown as only the god(s) know why, he shrank to 1 cubic foot and and has AC adjustment
bonus to counter the size AC plus or minus.
 
Lvl 1 1 cubic ft Nat AC 3 62 lbs Size of Grig Tiny
Lvl 2 2 cubic ft Nat AC 4 125 lbs Size of Gnome Small
Lvl 3 4 cubic ft Nat AC 5 250 lbs Size of Human Medium
Lvl 4 8 cubic ft Nat AC 6 500 lbs Size of Bear Medium
Lvl 5 16 cubic ft Nat AC 7 1000 lbs Size of Hippogriff Large
Lvl 6 32 cubic ft Nat AC 8 2000 lbs Size of Frost Giant Large 5% Size Compression ability
Lvl 7 64 cubic ft Nat AC 9 4000 lbs Size of Gorgon Large +5% Size Compression ability (every 10% compressed adds 1 to AC)
Lvl 8 128 cubic ft Nat AC 10 8000 lbs Size of Adult Dragon Huge +5% Size Compression ability MAX Size Reached
Lvl 9 +5% Size Compression ability
etc.............
Size compression maxes out at 90%
