Classic chest shape that you can grip with two hands.
Very sturdy with a reliable hinge: rigid and hefty due to 15-layer construction.
Advanced difficulty due to the number of steps, but no step is particularly difficult.
Choose from many provided art choices, or customize it with your own.
Optional mimic interior (don't tell the fighter).
Dice are pictured to show scale and are not included.
DM: OK, that pretty much wipes out the last of the Ochre Jelly spawns. Now there is nothing standing between you and those two chests.
Fighter: So, two chests. I say it should be one for me and one for the rest of you to split.
Wizard: Hang on, it seems a little odd that an ooze would--
Rogue: No, no. To the victor goes the spoils, I always say. Don't hold back our hard-hitting friend.
Wizard: But, an ooze has no lust for gold.
Fighter: Ha! It had a lust for the sharp end of my sword.
Rogue: Good show, good show... Why don't you open both at the same time with one hand each? But first, I'm going to just move behind those barrels by the door.
Wizard: And, I will stand by the door, just in case.
DM: Roll for initiative. Two mimics attack. They were disguised as a door and a barrel.
Coin Chests are beefy props that make treasure distribution more fun. Or, give your precious dice the luxury home that they deserve.
These chests are very sturdy. And, they close with a satisfying "thunk" sound.
Druid-approved: Made with no metal or plastic.
Rogue-approved: I'm keeping this one.
