Gambler

A game of cards, a boxing match, a horse race: you just can’t say no to placing a bet, especially when the stakes are high. Sometimes you beat the house; sometimes the house beats you. But you always come back for more. Perhaps you left the gambling scene after a big score, never to look back. Or perhaps you busted big time and all that you have left is the shirt on your back. Either way, something always seems to pull you back in whenever there’s some action to be had.

Features

Play The Odds

Your history of gambling has given you an uncanny awareness of knowing when to play the odds. Before knowing the outcome, you may reroll an ability check but must use the result of the second roll. You cannot use this feature again until you complete a long rest.

Suggested Characteristics

Gamblers have a penchant for taking risks, calculated or otherwise. Some see gambling as a science and use math and analysis to make their choices. Others just let their instincts decide. No matter what, gamblers tend to be their own worst enemies.
