The Game Master's Gambits Image

The blessing of the Master of Games from the Dragon's Hoard Casino allows you to bend fate in a gambling match where the wager is life. You may take a wager based on the following conditions, but each roll can only have one wager per roll:

  • When you make an attack roll, saving throw or ability check, you may wager 30 life. All of the even numbers on your next roll become 20s and all the odd numbers become 1s. If you roll an odd number you lose the wager.
  • When you make an attack roll, wager 10, 20, or 30 life. Your next attack does a d6 extra damage if you wagered 10, a d8 if you wagered 20, or a d10 if you wagered 30. If you miss the attack roll you lose the wager.
  • When you fail a saving throw, wager 60 life. You may re-roll the saving throw, you must use the new roll. If you fail the saving throw you lose the wager.
  • When you roll for damage, wager 5, 10, or 15 life. Pick a number on one of the dice you want to roll. If you roll the number on the die, add +1 if you wagered 5, +2 if you wagered 10, or +3 if you wagered 15 to the damage. If you don't roll the number you chose, you lose the wager.
  • Final Gambit: When you hit with an attack roll, wager all your remaining health. If the target of your attack has less health than your wager, the target takes an amount of damage equal to your wager. If the target has equal to or more health than your wager, you lose the wager. Whether you win or lose, you can only use this wager once per long rest.

You can only wager health you have. If a wager would bring you to below 0, you cannot make that wager.
