Gambler

Some gamblers, like you, have become so good, Lady Luck has shown her favor to you and has bestowed upon you greater, gambling powers.

Gambler's Deck

“Lady luck loves a gambler.” - Johnny Guilty Gear

Lady Luck has bestowed upon you a magical deck of 20 cards. You may upgrade a number of cards equal to your rogue level. You may choose upgrades multiple times. The other cards are blank. As a bonus action, you may draw a card from the deck. Roll a d20 to determine which card you draw. If the card you roll is discarded or destroyed, roll again. As you level up you will get access to more card upgrade options. When you draw a card you are given 4 options to take; Play, Discard, or Rip. Playing a card will do the play action, it is removed from your deck temporarily (put in discard). Discarding will cause it to be removed from your deck temporarily (put in discard). Ripping destroys the card, and may give some special ability. As an action, you may shuffle and take all cards from the discard and put them back in your deck.

On a long rest, you regain any ripped cards and you may upgrade cards and change your upgrades.

On subsequent turns, whenever you draw a card you may instead draw the card in the extradimensional space, freeing up the space.

When you take a long rest, any cards in the extradimensional space are put back into your deck.

You may store cards a number of times per long rest equal to your Proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier.

All in

As an action, draw 3 cards and activate them in any order. If multiple cards require actions, ignore that cost. You must choose one of the special options given on the card (ex. If you draw a blacksmith you must play or rip, you cannot discard), and you can’t choose options that have an asterisk (*). You must activate every card, and may not store any cards.

Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.
