The Gambler: A Roguish Archetype (5e)
A new risk-taking roguish archetype! Why Play a Gambler? Thematically ¸ the gambler is a new player option for risk-taking or thrill-seeking characters who always have an ace up their sleeve! Mechanically ¸ the gambler provides players with a wide-ranging toolbox that always gives them an angle or chink in the armor to try and exploit. The cornerstone feature-Lucky Strike-is all about manipulating the advantage mechanic¸ enforcing the theme of taking bold risks for a big payoff while also functioning as a fun and unique Sneak Attack progression (Lucky Strike chance of success is ~64%¸ rising to ~80% at 17th level.)

Page 4 is a copy of page 3 with colors removed for easy printing. Quick Preview: Creator's Note: This is the second in a series of personal player options scheduled for release in 2020. All of these sub/classes have gone through playtesting by myself and others¸ with each aiming to explore a theme or trope under-represented in official source material.
