Critical Gambler

A gambler is someone who has spent their whole life playing with luck, they go all in on everything they do, they always tempt luck and that can make every action they make either very rewarding or a fatal mistake.

They tend to hang out on very suspicious places, such as shady taverns and crime ridden cities, they also like the fancy casinos of the high society and will go there if they have enough money to play there.

 

"Life is a gamble, and you are more than willing to take any risk if it means getting a great reward"

Skill Proficiencies: A gambler is proficent on both deception and sleight of hand, much like a criminal, a gambler spends much of their time on unsavory and criminal places, therefore they've learned a thing or two.

Tool Proficiencies: A gambler will always have on their hands a Gaming Set.

Languages: Funnily enough, a gambler is not really picky when it comes to the company they have while playing games and making gambles, they've learned to speak goblin with time due to how much time  they've spent with creatures as greedy as themselves.

Equipment: A Lucky Coin (a gambler may use it to trigger the background unique skill "Lucky throw"), a dark set of clothes, a pouch containing 25gp and a knife
