A new risk-taking roguish archetype!

Why Play a Gambler?

Thematically, the gambler is a new player option for risk-taking or thrill-seeking characters who always have an ace up their sleeve!

Mechanically, the gambler provides players with a wide-ranging toolbox that always gives them an angle or chink in the armor to try and exploit. The cornerstone feature—Lucky Strike—is all about manipulating the advantage mechanic, enforcing the theme of taking bold risks for a big payoff while also functioning as a fun and unique Sneak Attack progression (Lucky Strike chance of success is ~64%, rising to ~80% at 17th level.)
