Wild Card

Some rogues favor honing their skill and precision, others perfect a silver tongue, but gamblers of fate always get a kick out of leaving things up to chance. Rogues of the Wild Card variety thrive on the high stakes and random thrill of the game table. Armed with cunning cheats and no small amount of luck, these sly gamblers live and die by their rules, never keen to simply accept the hand fate deals them.

When you choose this archetype at 3rd level, you gain proficiency with the playing card set. You can now throw playing cards as weapons and you can draw a throwing weapon as part of an attack you make with it.

This damage die can increase as you find vendors with sharpened cards. One deck of playing cards is usually 5 silver, and contains 52 cards.

Some of your techniques require your target to make a saving throw to resist certain effects. The saving throw DC is calculated as follows:
