A young elven wizard is on a pilgrimage to the Grandfather Tree, and she has hired the Champions to escort her. The wizard has foreseen an acorn falling from the tree - an extraordinary and truly rare occurrence - and she hopes to collect the holy relic to take to Silverymoon.
Yet as the party ventures forth, the very forest itself resists them, while elves from the Feywild and the Underdark seek to claim the acorn for themselves!
The Running 6 introduces Nixie, the Tiefling Sorcerer from Deerstalker Picture's1 for All, and brings back Dungeon Master, the human wizard from the 1980s Dungeons & Dragons cartoon, as well as Shaka, the Tiefling Warlock from Rivals of Waterdeep. Players have until Monday, May 15th at 12PM Pacific to complete their The Running 6 unlocks and objectives.
New Champion: Nixie
Some folks never bother to ask how big the room is; they're always ready for a fireball. And Nixie is the quintessential firecracker, able to light up a room with her bright smile and her flaming hot spells!
Nixie is a charismatic tiefling who grew up in a wealthy but oppressive household. There she was punished for using magic, despite her natural talent. In a rebellious move, she stole the family grimoire to teach herself dark sorcery, which resulted in the burning down of her family manor and all her family inside. Despite this tragedy, Nixie is now on a journey to enjoy her newfound magical freedom and find a new family.

I. Nixie
Nixie is a charismatic tiefling who grew up in a wealthy but oppressive household, and punished for using magic despite her natural talent. In a rebellious move, she stole the family grimoire to teach herself dark sorcery only to result in the burning down of her family manor and all her family inside. Despite this tragedy, Nixie is now on a journey to enjoy her newfound magical freedom and find a new family.
Nixie is a DPS and Support Champion who gives charismatic Champions like herself a big boost. When force is required, she casts Fireball, and when stealth is required...she casts Fireball. But her magic isn't perfect as she inadvertently triggers the occasional wild magic surge. Once unlocked, you can find this Tiefling Sorcerer in Slot 1 opposite Bruenor.

III. Nixie's Design
When 1 For All crafted characters for their fantasy comedy web series, they leaned into some of the beloved tropes that can be found in many D&D PCs. The joy of casting a fireball never grows old, and it can be fun to create a chaotic character who crafts flames with unbridled enthusiasm!
Nixie is sparkly, cute, and uncontrollably deadly! She delights in jumping into the throes of battle casting fireballs, despite it possibly harming her own team members. With her Blazing Charisma she gleefully increases the damage of other charismatic Champions, but every spell cast is a chance to cause a random Wild Magic Surge. Some surges cause a bonus effect on the battlefield, like engulfing enemies in flames, creating a coin cascade, summoning a random monster, causing a stunning shockwave, or enlarging both her size and her damage! But sometimes she'll turn into a potted plant, or her skin will turn blue. That's the risks that come with being a Wild Magic Sorcerer.
Despite the unpredictability of her magic, Nixie is always ready to launch a flaming attack on her enemies. Normally it's a smaller Fireball?. But occasionally it's time for a FIREBALL!!! This ultimate, gigantic fireball engulfs all enemies on the field, burning them to a crisp. Those flaming spheres can cause even more damage depending on which Specialization Nixie chooses. Each one boosts the damage bonus of Blazing Charisma based on who else is in the formation. Infernal Impact focuses on the number of Tieflings, Anarchy Amplified works with Chaotic Champions, and Flawed Force counts the number of Champions with a total ability score of 78 or less.
Nixie's natural talents bring a chaotic element to the party, and she'll charm you over with her bright smile and even brighter explosions!
