    I get the joke, but with no prior context it’s kind of a jerk move to assume the player already opened it if they asked for a perception OR an investigation. A Mimic would normally just ambush you OR attack when the player opens them. If it was opened it’s probably already attacking, and if it was closed then performing a perception shouldn’t cause initiative until rolled (if the mimic noticed you noticing it, for instance).

    I’ll…I’ll crawl back into my dingy nerd tavern now…

      I mean, any GM who is having you roll either of those to see inside of a chest anyway is a bad GM.
