**Gnome Cunning.** Rimweck has advantage on all Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma saving throws against magic. **Reckless Curiosity.** When Rimweck attempts to mix chemicals or trigger a complex device without preparation, the DM may roll on the Wild Magic Surge table after the attempt is made, regardless of the attempt's success. **Spellcasting.** Rimweck is a 7th-level spellcaster. His spellcasting ability is **Charisma** (spell save DC 15, +7 to hit with spell attacks). He has the following Sorcerer spells known: Cantrips (at will): *fire bolt, light, mage hand, prestidigitation* 1st level (4 slots): *feather fall, grease, Tasha's hideous laughter* 2nd level (3 slots): *blur, misty step* 3rd level (3 slots): *counterspell, fireball* 4th level (1 slot): *polymorph*

Mishap Dagger.** *Melee or Ranged Weapon Attack:* +5 to hit, reach 5 ft. or range 20/60 ft., one target. *Hit:* 4 (1d4 + 2) piercing damage. **Escape Artist.** Rimweck makes a Dexterity (Stealth) check with advantage and can use a bonus action to Dash or Disengage.
Reactions
Arcane Surge.** When Rimweck takes damage, he can use his reaction to gain temporary hit points equal to the damage dealt. Once used, this ability cannot be used again until the start of his next turn.
Roleplaying Notes
Rimweck's curiosity often leads to destructive consequences. He is chatty and seemingly oblivious to danger, treating encounters with Drow or Giants with the same enthusiasm as discussing mine history. His knowledge of the **Purple Worm Mine** is encyclopedic.
Additional Info
Appearance A small gnome, usually wearing dusty, slightly singed clothes. His eyes often dart around, fascinated by every mechanical detail. Voice/Mannerisms Excitable, fast-paced, and full of random facts about tunneling, geology, and alchemy. Bond His "Aunt" Eleanor's House and his own insatiable curiosity for dangerous arcane tinkering. Ideal Discovery. The only true measure of an object is what happens when you combine it with something else. Flaw Catastrophic Curiosity. He cannot leave a complex mechanism or unstable chemical alone, prioritizing experimentation over personal safety. This reckless gene runs in his family. Info Rimweck is the nephew of Eleanor Tinkersmith and inherited his chaotic, mad-scientist tendencies from his father. He is a master, if reckless, guide of the Purple Worm Mine. Equipment Studded leather armor, a simple dagger, a chatty tour book of the mine, small pouch filled with colorful but unstable-looking vials.
