Spellcasting Focus[edit]
Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your Gambler spells. 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 Gambler 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.
- Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier.
- Spell Attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier.
Unarmored Defense[edit]

Extra Reactions[edit]

Coin Toss[edit]
Starting at 1st level, you may use your magic to influence probability. Once per short rest, you can flip a coin to determine the outcome of an event. You can choose heads or tails, and if the outcome matches your choice, you gain advantage on your next ability check, attack roll, or saving throw. If the outcome does not match your choice, you gain disadvantage on the roll. At 5th level, you can use this feature twice per short rest, and at 11th level, you can use it three times per short rest.
Lucky Blessing[edit]
At 2nd level, you can use your magic to protect your allies. You can spend an action to flip a coin, this can be done a time equal to your Charisma modifier per long rest. You then grant temporary hit points to X allies within 30 feet with X being your PB, you cannot give yourself the temporary hit points . The number of temporary hit points granted equals Xd6+Charisma modifier with X being your PB.
Well of Fortune[edit]
Starting at 2nd level, you have a limited well of fortune you may draw upon at any time. Before making an attack roll, ability check, or saving throw, you may use this feature to roll with advantage. Alternatively, you may use this to remove disadvantage imposed on you for one of the aforementioned rolls. You may use this feature twice per long rest. You gain two additional uses at 6th, 10th, and 17th levels.
Lucky Die[edit]

| Wheel of Fortune | |
|---|---|
| D20 Roll | Effect |
| 1-5 | The spinning wheel comes to a screeching halt, and dark energy surges from it towards the target creature. The creature must make a Dexterity saving throw against your spell save DC. On a failed save, the target takes 4d6 necrotic damage. On a successful save, the target takes half as much damage. |
| 6-10 | The wheel spins gracefully coming to a slow stop, emanating a golden glow as it releases its energy. The creature must make a Dexterity saving throw against your spell save DC. On a failed save, the target takes 4d6 radiant damage, and is cursed, having disadvantage on all rolls until the start of your next turn. |
| 11-15 | The wheel spins erratically before stopping, emitting flashes of colorful energy as it whirls. The creature must make a Dexterity saving throw against your spell save DC. On a failed save, the target takes 6d6 radiant damage, and you and your allies within 30 feet gain temporary hit points equal to half the damage dealt. On a successful save, the target takes half as much damage, and you and your allies still gain temporary hit points equal to a quarter of the damage dealt. |
| 16-20 | The wheel spins with a majestic flourish, emitting a dazzling array of golden light and harmonious chimes. The creature must make a Dexterity saving throw against your spell save DC. On a failed save, the target takes 8d6 radiant damage and is engulfed in an aura of divine luck. All allies within 30 feet are filled with a surge of inspiration, gaining advantage on all attack rolls, ability checks, and saving throws until the start of your next turn. Additionally, any critical hits scored by allies within this aura result in the target regaining hit points equal to your Charisma modifier + your Coin Gambler level. On a successful save, the target takes half as much damage, and allies within the aura still gain advantage but do not benefit from the healing effect of critical hits. |
