The Gambler Image

You live life on the edge, thriving in situations where the stakes are high and the odds are stacked against you. Luck is more than just a word to you—it’s a force you can almost feel guiding your hand. Whether you’re rolling dice, flipping cards, or facing down certain death, you always seem to come out on top. Perhaps you’ve struck a deal with a deity of fortune, or maybe fate itself bends to your will. Whatever the source, your luck is both a blessing and a curse, as it draws you into situations where most wouldn’t dare tread.

Feature: Favor of the Fates

Your incredible luck isn’t just happenstance—it’s almost as if the universe itself is on your side. Once per day, when you make an attack roll, ability check, or saving throw, you can roll a d20 twice and choose which result to use. If you succeed using this feature, you also gain temporary hit points equal to your proficiency bonus. Additionally, when you gamble or play games of chance, you always seem to break even, unless you intentionally want to lose.
