Every time you learn a new gambit, you can replace one gambit you know for a new one.

Card Thrower

You can fling your cards with speed and accuracy enough to harm someone. You can use playing cards as simple ranged weapons, with the finesse, light and thrown property (30/120).

Distraction

As an action, you can create a distraction on your turn. All creatures within 10 feet of you must succeed on a Wisdom (Insight) against your Charisma (Deception) or Dexterity (Sleight of Hand) check. On a failed contest, they loose their reaction.
