"My hocus-pocus is out of focus!"

Young Albert had already been working on his card trick skills when he was pulled into the fantastical world of Dungeons & Dragons. He took on the mantle of Presto the Magician, hoping to become a mighty magical mage. But between his lack of self confidence and an unpredictable magic hat, he still has a lot to learn about being a wizard!

I. Presto

Presto is a bookish and timid teenager whose dreams of becoming a magician became reality when he was transported with his friends to the magical world of Dungeons & Dragons. He wields a capricious, unpredictable form of magic with his distinctive green magical hat. Presto is known for his inventive but sometimes uncontrollable magical solutions as he and his friends search for a way back home.

Presto the Magician is a support Champion who assists the party through debuffs created by his magical hat, buffs to the two columns in front of him, and he discovers extra Modron Component pieces. Once unlocked, you can find this human wizard in Seat 2 opposite Celeste.

III. Presto's Design

"Magic hat, I'm gonna be frank: What we need now is a twenty-ton tank!"

With a green hat full of magical mischief and a repertoire of rhyming spells, Presto is excited to be a real wizard, even if he can't always control what actually happens. His Hat of Many Spells can produce birthday cakes, skateboards, and rotary phones, each damaging and debuffing enemies in different ways. He prefers to stay behind his stronger friends, so he'll boost the damage of Champions in the two columns in front of him. He'll also help scavenge Modron Component Pieces from defeated bosses to assist the formation on their adventures.

Presto can increase his damage bonus depending on who has joined him in the formation. He can specialize with Champions close to his own age, work with companions with less heroic ability scores, or be inspired by others capable of powerful magical attacks. And when he tries hard enough, Presto can pull an amazing elemental attack from his hat to debuff all the enemies on the battlefield and inflict ultimate damage!

Presto hasn't been able to use his magic to help his friends return home, but he's ready to assist the formation as they continue on their adventures!

"There's courage in being terrified, but still going forward."

After escaping the horrors of Avernus, Karlach wants to experience all the joys of the mortal world that she missed. She's full of positivity, an unrestrained lust for life, and a deep kindness for others. And when necessary, she'll gleefully charge into battle full of rage and fire!

I. Karlach

Freshly escaped from Hell, Karlach is finally free of the Archdevil Zariel - but not from the infernal engine Zariel planted in her chest. With her first taste of freedom in ten years, Karlach is eager to find a fix for the engine that’s burning hotter and hotter before it burns her out completely. But even more premiere in her mind? Exploring, finding like-minded travelers, falling in love (or lust)... and taking revenge on the man who sold her to Zariel all those years ago.

Karlach is a DPS, Support, and Tanking Champion who ignites in fire when her rage kicks in. Once unlocked, you can find this Tiefling Barbarian in Slot 4 opposite Jarlaxle.

II. Karlach's Stats

Race: Tiefling	Alignment: Chaotic Good
Gender: Female	Pronouns: She/Her
Age: 30	Affiliation: Absolute Adversaries	Class: Barbarian

STR: 15	DEX: 13	CON: 14
INT: 9	WIS: 12	CHA: 12

Role: DPS, Support, Tanking

Eligible for Patrons: Mirt, Vajra, and Zariel

Slot: 4 (Jarlaxle)

III. Karlach's Design

As an impressively muscular Tiefling with an intimidating greataxe, Karlach is a terrifying opponent on the battlefield. But she is just as fierce in her love of life and joy at being surrounded by good people. Most of her focus is on protecting her new friends by boosting the damage of Champions in her column and the column behind her, and by charging forward to cleave at the nearest enemies. As she attacks, or is attacked, her Rage grows until she ignites on fire and boosts her damage bonus even more!

Because she is a Champion of Zariel, Karlach can always be used in any Zariel Patron adventure or variant. And the more of those Zariel Patron variants you complete, the bigger her damage bonus becomes. She also has a mind flayer tadpole in her brain, which she uses to increase the health of all other Champions in her formation. And when necessary she can absorb the energy of a Soul Coin to add even more fuel to the fire of her Rage for Ultimate damage!

Karlach's specialization choice further reinforces either her DPS, tanking, or support role. She can become a Berserker and increase her Rage damage. Or she can use that unrelenting ferocity while raging to heal some of the damage she's taken. Otherwise she can choose to embrace the mental connection she has with her fellow Champions undergoing Ceremorphosis to increase her support capabilities.

Whichever path she takes, Karlach will embrace her role with extreme passion, bringing her fun-filled love of life to the entire formation!
