The Wild Card (BoTWT) Class for Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) Fifth Edition (5e)

Base Class: Rogue

Not all rogues are about sneaking and shadows. Some prefer the route of showmanship and style. One can never predict what can happen with Wild Cards like them, but one thing is certain: they keep things entertaining! Let the shenanigans ensue!

The Joker's Hand

3rd level Wild Card feature

When you choose this subclass at level 3, you gain proficiency in the Playing Card gaming set and the Performance skill. Additionally, you can double your proficiency bonus when making these checks.

As a bonus action, you can throw a playing card at an target within 30 feet of you. Make either a Sleight of Hand check or Performance check against the target's Perception. On a success, the target is distracted and your next attack roll against the target has advantage. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier. All spent uses are refreshed after a long rest.

If you use the sneak attack feature while tossing a playing card, you can deal additional sneak attack damage equal to 2d6 and gamble with luck and roll a d53 or draw from a pack of cards, applying the corresponding effect. If the effect is a spell, its saving throw DC is equal to 8 + your proficiency bonus + your charisma modifier, and it does not require concentration. The additional sneak attack damage increases with your Rogue levels, with 3d6 at level 5, 4d6 at level 9, 5d6 at level 13 and 6d6 at level 17.

Twist of Fate

9th level Wild Card feature

Luck can always take a turn around you, whether for better or worse. As a reaction to a creature making an ability check, saving throw or attack roll, you can roll a d4. You can then choose to add or subtract this number from the ability check, saving throw or attack roll. However, on the next ability check, saving throw or attack roll you make within the next minute of using this reaction, you must roll a d4 and subtract the number from the result. You can do this a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier. You regain all spent uses on a long rest.

At level 17, you can expend two uses of this feature to give the creature advantage or disadvantage on their respective roll. Additionally, on doing so, you suffer disadvantage on the next roll you make.

Against All Odds

13th level Wild Card feature

The difference between life and death can be a single miracle. You can use your Uncanny Dodge feature against any damage, not just attacks. Additionally if your HP is reduced to 0, you can use your reaction to instead drop to 1 HP. You can use this feature only once per long rest.

Also, when you roll on the Wild Effects table, you can roll twice and choose either of the two outcomes.

Joker's the Name

17th level Wild Card feature

Your versatility is second to none, and you can fit into any role desired of you. At 17th level, you gain proficiency in two skills, and expertise in one skills you are proficient with. You can also add half your proficiency bonus to your Charisma saves.
