Bonus Proficiencies

When you choose this archetype at 3rd level, you gain proficiency in one of the following skills of your choice; Deception, Performance, or Sleight of Hand.

You also gain proficiency with playing cards and one additional gaming set of your choice

WildCard's Gambit

Starting at 3rd level, while tossing a card you can enchant it with powerful magic and turn it into a dangerous weapon.

While holding a playing card set, you gain a new attack option that you can use with your Attack action. This special attack is a ranged spell attack with a range of 60 feet. You are proficient with it, and you add your dexterity modifier to its attack and damage rolls. Its damage is force, and its damage die is a d4. You can apply your Sneak Attack to this special attack (the damage type is force), the rules for its use must be met as normal. If you have at least one card from a playing card set at the end of a short or long rest, it magically replenishes itself into a full deck.

Additionally, when you hit a creature with this special attack, you deal an extra 1d6 force damage and roll a d4. The attack gains a random gambit effect based on the number rolled as shown in the WildCard's Gambit Table below, DC for saving throws made against your gambit effects equals 8 + proficiency modifier + your Charisma modifier.

You can use this feature this way a number of times equal to 1 + your Charisma modifier (minimum of once), you regain all expended uses after finishing a long rest.
