Gambler

While all rogues enjoy risky behavior, the life of a Gambler revolves around this risk. They enjoy nothing more then high stakes situations where they can put everything on the line. Often found in taverns and casinos, these rogues cannot help but gamble away any wealth they acquire in their adventures.

Pick a Card

3rd-level Gambler feature

You can weaponize your trusty deck of cards. Beginning at 3rd level, decks of cards count as improvised weapons for you. When used as a weapon, it has the finesse and thrown properties. It has a normal range of 30 feet and 60 feet long range, and on hit, your playing cards deal slashing damage equal to  <strong>1d4</strong>{{modifier:str,dex#signed}}.

Once per turn, when you make a playing card attack the number rolled on the d4 grants your attack a bonus effect:

3	You gain temporary hit points equal to the damage dealt by this attack.
4	You can choose to switch places in the initiative order with the target, starting at the top of the next initiative round.

Gambler's Know-how

3rd-level Gambler feature

In life's games, sometimes you win, and sometimes you need to improvise. When you adopt this Archetype at 3rd level, you gain proficiency with improvised weapons, playing cards, and one other gaming set of your choice. Whenever you make an ability check that uses a gaming set that you are proficient with, you add double your proficiency bonus to your roll.

Also, if you spend at least 1 minute observing or playing a game you aren't familiar with, you can add your proficiency bonus to any ability checks related to that game. Only one game or gaming set can benefit from this feature at a time.

Lucky Streak

9th-level Gambler feature

Your attacks have been blessed with an entertaining, yet strange, luck. Starting at 9th level, your attack rolls score a critical hit on a roll of 7 or 20 on the d20, but rolls of 13 or 1 on the d20 are both considered critical failures. Good luck!

Quickdraw

13th-level Gambler feature

Jackpot

17th-level Gambler feature

Your good fortune is another's bad luck. Starting at 17th level, whenever you roll a 6 on a d6 for one of your Sneak Attack dice, you roll an additional d6 and add it to your damage roll.
