Gambler
You are a skillful gamester who has spend many time in casinos, bar rooms, and gambling dens, or still does. You have thrown dice with rugged sailors, played cards with deceptive con artists, and betted on races. Were your activities legal, or did you break the law? Have you ever cheated in a game, or do you play by the rules? No matter what, your life has been one of excitement, chance, and occasional danger.
Skill Proficiencies: Deception, Insight
Tool Proficiencies: Two types of gaming sets.
Equipment: A set of common clothes, two gaming sets of your choice, a lucky charm, and a belt pouch containing 15 GP
Feature: Gambler's Den
You can always find a place to gamble when visiting a city, town, or other settlement that allows for the existence of one (GM's judgement), be it a crowded tavern in a port city, a luxurious casino in the realm's capital, or a dimly lit room in a goblin warren. These places are not known to most, and many are ran illegally by crime lords. In addition, other gamblers typically take a liking to you when they first meet you, and they may be willing to grant you small favors.
