Gnome Professor of the Arcane (Pepitos the Manic) by DM Stash

They said he'd lost his mind somewhere between the seventh and eighth volume of his own autobiography — but his students would tell you he'd never been more focused.

Pepitos the Manic is the Professor of the Arcane from DM Stash's Bastion of the Wandering Mage collection, and this sculpt captures everything a gnome wizard should be: chaotic, brilliant, and utterly unaware that anyone finds him alarming. He stands perched atop a precarious tower of grimoires and leather-bound tomes, one foot raised mid-stride as if he just remembered something tremendously important and is already late. His wide-brimmed witch's hat lists to one side above a magnificent bushy beard, his travelling cloak billows outward mid-motion, and his wand is thrust skyward with the confidence of a caster who has absolutely never misfired. Not once. He would like that on the record.

The stacked-book base is integral to the sculpt and tells its own story — this is a man whose library followed him, not the other way around. Whether you're painting every spellbook spine a different colour or keeping the whole piece in moody monochrome, this miniature rewards the detail-focused painter. It also earns its place on any shelf as a display piece in its own right.

A fine addition for adventurers who:

• Need a gnome wizard PC — Pepitos suits any Wizard or Sorcerer build with serious academic leanings
• Want a memorable quest-giver, eccentric ally, or rival arcane scholar for their campaign
• Are building out a magical academy, arcane institution, or wandering mage's tower as a setting
• Collect display-worthy character miniatures with strong narrative presence

Encounter Hook:
The party arrives at the Bastion of the Wandering Mage to retrieve a stolen spell component — only to find Pepitos already three steps ahead of them, standing atop his tower of books in the middle of the courtyard, wand aloft, mid-incantation, apparently shouting instructions at a flock of enchanted quills. He does not look up. "You're late," he says. "The ritual started six minutes ago and I needed someone to hold page four hundred and twelve."

Details

Printed at 32mm scale. The model and its decorative stacked-book base are separate pieces and bond cleanly with superglue — and given how much the sculpt interacts with the base, we'd strongly recommend using it as intended. Some minor support marks may be present from the printing process; these are easily tidied up before priming. Supplied unpainted and ready for your brush.
