This game set will be your Arcane Focus, and will determine your Gamemaster Archetype. Whichever game set you choose is considered rigged, and in order to use it to play a game with other creatures, you must pass a Deception check against their Insight or Investigation check (whichever is higher). On a failed Deception check, the creature denies your game set, and may be hostile depending on the creature. Seasoned Liar Also at 1st level, you receive proficiency in Deception. Spellcasting At 2nd level, you have learned how to channel magic through your game set, enabling you to cast spells through it. Cantrips At 2nd level, you know four cantrips of your choice from the gamemaster spell list. You learn additional gamemaster cantrips of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the Gamemaster table. Spell Slots The Gamemaster table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your gamemaster spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these gamemaster spells, you must expend a slot of the spell’s level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest. For example, if you know the 1st-level spell burning hands and have a 1st-level and a 2nd-level spell slot available, you can cast burning hands using either slot. Spells Known of 1st Level and Higher You know two 1st-level spells of your choice from the gamemaster spell list. The Spells Known column of the Gamemaster table shows when you learn more gamemaster spells of your choice. Each of these spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots. For instance, when you reach 5th level in this class, you can learn one new spell of 1st or 2nd level. Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the gamemaster spells you know and replace it with another spell from the gamemaster spell list, which also must be of a level for which you have spell slots. Spellcasting Ability Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your gamemaster spells, since the power of your magic relies on your confidence and your cunning. You use your Charisma whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Charisma modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a gamemaster spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one. Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier Spellcasting Focus The game set you chose at 1st level is your arcane focus. Antes At 2nd level, you have a pool of Antes that you can spend on Enforcers that power up spells and actions you do. Each Enforcer can be Regular or Doubled Down. In order to Double Down on an Enforcer, you must spend double the Antes needed, or spend 20 gold for each Ante used. You regain any expended Antes at the end of a short or long rest. Choose two Enforcers from the list below. When you level up in this class, you can choose to switch one of your Enforcers with another on the list, as long as you meet or exceed the level requirement in this class. You can choose a third Enforcer at 7th level, a fourth Enforcer at 13th level, and a fifth Enforcer at 20th level. Enforcers High Card (2nd Level) 1-10 Antes Before your attack roll, you can spend any amount of available Antes to raise your attack roll total by 1 for each Ante spent. Double Down. You also get a +1 to damage for each Ante spent. Three Of A Kind (2nd Level) 1 Ante Instead of an attack roll, you can roll 3d20 straight. If all three rolls are below a 10, you hit the target and deal half damage. Double Down. If all three rolls are below an 8, you deal the regular amount of damage. Bad Beat (2nd Level) 1 Ante If your remaining hit points are less than half the remaining hit points of the target of your next attack, add an extra damage die to the damage of that attack. This does not apply if you or the target have all your hit points remaining, or if the target has a maximum number of hit points double or more than your maximum amount. Double Down. You regain hit points equal to the extra damage die rolled. Payout (7th Level) 3 Antes For 3 rounds, you can mark an enemy. Every time the marked enemy deals damage to you, you can add 1d4 extra damage onto your next attack against them. However, if you are damaged by any other source, this effect disappears. Double Down. This lasts up to 5 rounds, and the extra damage die changes to a d6. Ace In The Hole (7th Level) 4 Antes On your next attack, you can perform a critical hit on an 18 or above. Double Down. Also on your next attack, a critical hit deals maximum damage. Card Sharp (10th Level) 4 Antes On your next saving throw, you can add your Charisma modifier to the roll, possibly preventing a fail. Double Down. If the saving throw was against a spell that causes you to take half damage on a success, the damage is negated, instead. Full House (13th Level) 6 Antes If all of your allies are within 5 feet of you, you each receive advantage on your next attack roll. This is immediately removed if an ally leaves this area. Double Down. The area expands to 10 feet, and lasts for 2 rounds. However, this requires concentration. Blackjack (15th Level) 8 Antes Instead of rolling your attack die, you and the enemy roll contesting 2d12. Whoever gets the closest to 21 wins the contest, but anything over is considered a critical failure. You roll first, and if you do not exceed 21, then the enemy rolls. Double Down Instead of 2d12, you can choose to roll 3d8 instead. High Roller (17th Level) 8 Antes Roll 1d100 and round it up to the nearest 5. If the target for your next attack is that exact range, you can deal double the damage dice. Double Down. You can add or subtract 1d4*5 feet from what you rolled. Royal Flush (20th Level) 10 Antes Select 5 creatures. If all the selected creatures are below half hit points, your next attack has double the damage dice, and all of the damage is evenly distributed between the 5 of them. Double Down. If all 5 of the creatures' remaining hit points are less than your hit point maximum, the creature with the lowest CR immediately drops to 0 hit points and dies completely. Gamemaster Archetype Feature At 2nd, 6th, 11th, and 18th level, you receive a feature from your Gamemaster Archetype. Pay to Win At 3rd level, you can spend Antes to regain expended spell slots. As an action, you can spend a number of Antes equal to a spell slot's level up to a maximum of 5th level. Alternatively, you can spend spell slots to regain expended Antes. You receive 1 Ante per spell slot of 1st or 2nd level, 2 Antes per spell slot of 3rd or 4th level, 3 Antes per spell slot of 5th or 6th level, and 4 Antes per spell slot of 7th level. Expertise At 3rd level, choose two of your skill proficiencies, or one of your skill proficiencies and your proficiency with your game set. Your proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check you make that uses either of the chosen proficiencies. At 10th level, you can choose two more of your proficiencies (in skills or with your game set) to gain this benefit. Ability Score Increase When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can’t increase an ability score above 20 using this feature. Arcane Link At 5th level, you and your game set are bound together by a strong, magical bond. You can choose to magically bond with your game set through a 1-hour ritual. Through this ritual, you gain some features: You always know where every part of your game set is, even if it's on another plane of existence. However, if any of the pieces go beyond a distance of 20 feet from each other for 1 minute, the bond with your game set is broken. If your game set is destroyed or lost while you have a bond with it, you can recreate it during a long rest as a ritual. If the previous game set still exists, it is reverted to a regular, unmagical game set upon the recreation of your bonded set. If you use your game set as a weapon, any part that is thrown can be magically pulled back to you as a bonus action. Croupier's Aid At 9th level, you have learned how to use your Antes to aid your allies. As a bonus action, you can target an ally and give them the effects of one of your Enforcers. However, in order to do this, you must spend the same amount of Antes as if you were to Double Down. Enforcers that are used on allies cannot be Doubled Down due to this. At 15th level, the amount of Antes needed to use this feature returns to the regular amount for each Enforcer. Enforcers can now be Doubled Down for allies. Card Counting At 14th level, you have learned to anticipate attacks made by enemy creatures. As a reaction to an attack made against you or an ally, you can roll a Charisma saving throw with a DC equal to the creature's CR. On a success, the creature gets disadvantage on its attack roll, or if it's a saving throw, you or your ally (whoever was targeted) receives advantage on their saving throw. You can use this feature twice, and you regain any expended uses at the end of a long rest. Game of Enigmas At 20th level, your game set has grown powerful enough that it can produce a wide range of spells, even ones you don't have access to. As an action, roll 1d100 on the Enigma Spells Table below. The spell chosen on the table is immediately casted at its lowest level in your preferred location within the spell's reach, and any spell DCs or attack rolls will use your spellcasting modifier. You can use this feature once, and you regain any expended uses at the end of a long rest.

Rigged Game Set Starting at 1st level, you know the in's and out's of the 3-Dragon Ante game set. You have a special deck of metal cards, and this counts as a Simple Weapon with the One-Handed, Light, Thrown, and Finesse properties. It deals 1d6+dex piercing damage, and you are proficient with it. At 18th level, the damage die changes to 1d12, and you can throw two at once. Wyrm Trickster Spells You learn additional spells when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown on the Wyrm Trickster Spells table. Each of these spells counts as a gamemaster spell for you, but it doesn’t count against the number of gamemaster spells you know. Wyrm Trickster Spells Gamemaster Level Spells 1st Bane, Bless 2nd Continual Flame, Dragon's Breath 3rd Call Lightning, Fly 4th Ice Storm, Polymorph 5th Destructive Wave, Mass Cure Wounds 6th Harm, Heal 7th Draconic Transformation, Fire Storm Flight of the Dragons At 2nd level, you can use your cards to alter outcomes. At the end of a long rest, draw cards from your deck until you hit 6 cards. These cards can be used as a reaction to any creature failing a check, saving throw, or attack roll. When a creature fails a roll, you can use the effect of any card in your hand, as long as the number on the card is less than what the creature rolled. You have to target the creature you used your reaction against. You can only use a maximum of three cards per long rest. This changes to six cards at 11th level. Flights Whenever you use a card, set it face up in front of you. Any cards used after are also set face-up to the right of the previous card. This is considered your "Flight". There are two Special Flights you can create, and each one can do a special effect. These effects last until your next long rest. Color Flight - If you finish a flight with all three cards as the same type, you receive resistance to the same damage type associated with that dragon type (Ex. Copper = Lightning, Red = Fire, etc.). For a flight of Mortals, you receive resistance to bludgeoning, slashing, or piercing damage. Number Flight - If you finish a flight with all three cards as the same number, you receive a bonus to your hit point maximum equal to that number. Until you reach 6th level, your deck should only have regular cards; it should not contain any Mortals or Legendary Dragons. The Card Effect Tables below list the effects that each card can do. Each effect lasts until the end of your next turn, unless it specifies otherwise. Deck Alignment At 6th level, your 3-Dragon Ante Deck can be associated with one of three different Alignments: Deck of Bahamut, Deck of Mortals, or Deck of Tiamat. The features of each deck will be listed below: Deck of Bahamut For this deck, insert all Legendary Dragons of good alignment, as well as 3 random Mortal cards. During a long rest, your 3 Mortal cards can be switched out for another random 3 Mortal cards. Any Mortal cards in your hand are replaced with a random card from your deck, after the Mortal cards are shuffled back inside. If you add a card of evil alignment to your flight, you take a -1 penalty to your next dice roll. Deck of Mortals For this deck, insert 10 random Mortal cards into your deck. During a long rest, your 10 Mortal cards can be switched out for another random 10 Mortal cards. Any Mortal cards in your hand are replaced with a random card from your deck, after the Mortal cards are shuffled back inside. After you complete a flight, draw a card. If you'd like, you can switch one of the cards in your flight with the card you drew. The extra card can be shuffled into your deck, not put into your hand. Deck of Tiamat For this deck, insert all Legendary Dragons of evil alignment, as well as 2 random Mortal cards. During a long rest, your 2 Mortal cards can be switched out for another random 2 Mortal cards. Any Mortal cards in your hand are replaced with a random card from your deck, after the Mortal cards are shuffled back inside. If you add a card of good alignment to your flight, you take a -1 penalty to your next dice roll. Ante Switch At 11th level, you have linked your cards to your Ante Bank. As a bonus action, you can switch the cards in your hand with new cards from your deck, but you must spend Antes equal to the amount of cards being switched. Or, you can discard cards from your hand to gain more Antes, instead. This feature can only be used once per turn. Double Play At 11th level, you have gained the ability to improve the aid of your deck. You can now create two flights per long rest. All effects by common dragons with the same alignment as your deck alignment are doubled. If you have the Deck of Mortals, you can choose whether it's good or evil alignment that gets doubled. Blessed Cards At 18th level, your deck has been blessed by the gods themselves; whether that's Bahamut, Tiamat, or a powerful deity, your deck has gained an ability from it: Deck of Bahamut Your deck has been blessed by the dragon god, Bahamut, himself. When you use a legendary dragon card of good alignment, you regain 2 Antes and can choose one card from the top three cards in your deck to put in your hand. Shuffle the unused cards back into the deck. Deck of Mortals Your deck has been blessed by a Deity or powerful Archmage. When you use a mortal card, you regain 2 Antes and immediately gain the ability to perform an action. Deck of Tiamat Your deck has been blessed by the dragon god, Tiamat, himself. When you use a legendary dragon card of evil alignment, you regain 2 Antes and can force up to three creatures within 15 feet to succeed a Wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC or be affected by a status until the end of your next turn. Their alignment determines the status effect they receive: Good: Frightened. Neutral: Stunned. Evil: Charmed. You can use this feature once, and you regain any expended uses at the end of a long rest.

Rigged Game Set Starting at 1st level, you know the in's and out's of a common deck of cards. You have a special deck of metal cards, and this counts as a Simple Weapon with the One-Handed, Light, Thrown, and Finesse properties.

If the card doesn't cause the roll to exceed 21, but it beats the DC of the roll, the roll counts as a success. If you draw a card that doesn't cause your roll to beat the DC or exceed 21, you can draw again. You can draw cards until you beat the DC, or until you exceed 21. If your initial roll is already above 21, you can draw a card and add half the face value, rounded down, to your roll total. The value of each card will be displayed below. Baccarat Draw two cards.
