College of Chance

Bards of the College of Chance are famously known as thrill-seekers and risk-takers, willing to bet it all for the chance of great reward. Many are known for captivating crowds on the street with games of chance, while their roguish friends pickpocket the unsuspecting victims. Others find their fortune in casinos, using their skills to forever bend the odds in their favour. Associating with these bards often means having a bit of extra luck on your side, but with the cost of a little more danger from time to time.

Gambler

When you join the College of Chance 3rd level, you gain proficiency in the Sleight of Hand skill. You also gain proficiency with two gaming sets of your choice, and you can double your proficiency bonus to any ability checks related to using them.

High Roller

At 6th level, you raise the stakes even higher. You may choose a number from 2 to 10 to be your Lucky Number. Then choose a number from 11 to 19 to be your Unlucky Number. When you make an attack roll, ability check, or saving throw with a d20 and you land on your Lucky Number, it is counted as a natural 20. When you roll your Unlucky number, it is counted as a natural 1. During a long rest, you can change your Lucky and Unlucky numbers to different numbers within the same parameters. You can also choose to remove both of your numbers.

Big Payout

Your luck begins to rub off on your allies. Starting at 6th level, when a creature adds one of your Bardic Inspiration die to its ability check, attack roll, or saving throw, they may reroll a 1 or 2 on the Bardic Inspiration die, and must use the new result. This also applies to the Bardic Inspiration die provided by your Lucky Charm.

Pure Luck

Starting at 14th level, you no longer have an Unlucky Number and your Lucky Number can be any number from 2 to 19. In addition, when an enemy creature rolls your Lucky Number on an attack roll against you, the attack automatically misses.
