choice from the fate-gambler spell list. You

1
learn additional fate-gambler cantrips of
your choice at higher levels, as shown in the
Cantrips Known column of the
Fate-Gambler table.
Spell Slots:
The Fate-Gambler table shows how many
spell slots you have to cast your spells of
1st level and higher. To cast one of these
fate-gambler 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.
Spells Known of 1st Level and
Higher:
You know two 1st level spells of your choice
from the fate-gambler spell list.
The Spells Known column of the
Fate-Gambler table shows when you learn
more fate-gambler spells of your choice.
Each of these spells must be of a level for
which you have spell slots. For instance,
when you reach 3rd level in this class, you
can learn one one new spell of 1st level or
2nd level.
Additionally, when you gain a level in this
class, you can choose one of the
fate-gambler spells you know and replace it
with another spell from the fate-gambler
spell list, which also must be of a level for
which you have spell slots.
Spellcasting Ability:
Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your
fate-gambler spells, since the arcane power
relies on your sly trickery and bluffs. 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 fate-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
Spellcasting Focus:
You can use an arcane focus as a
spellcasting focus for your fate-gambler
spells.
Game of Choice:
Choose a game of choice, which explains
your magical gambling power and
play-style: Arcane Gambit or Mystic
High-Roller, both detailed at the end of the
class description.
Your choice grants you features when you
choose it at 1st level and again at 5th level,
7th level, 14th level, and 20th level.
Keen Gambler:
At 3rd level, you know how to make smart
bets and how to read the people you play
against. You have advantage on any
Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma checks
that involves playing or watching a game or
sport with betting involved (poker, horse
racing, roulette, etc.).
Ability Score Improvement:
When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th,
12th, 16th and 19th, you can increase of
ability score of your choice by 2, or can
increase two ability scores by 1. As normal,
you can't increase an ability score above 20
using this feature.
2
Risky Casting:
At 10th level, you learn a new way of
casting spells. It can either make the spell
cost nothing, or can deal damage to
yourself as it backfires.
Before you cast a spell, you may take a
gamble. To do so, you must succeed a
Charisma saving throw with a DC 13 + the
chosen spell slot’s level. On a success, you
don’t spend the chosen spell slot to cast the
spell. On a failed save, the spell fails,
having no effect and spending the chosen
spell slot, and you are dealt 1d6 psychic
damage for each level of the chosen spell
slot.
For example, you decide to cast ​Chromatic
Orb​ at 2nd-level. If you succeed the
Charisma saving throw with a DC of 15, you
cast ​Chromatic Orb​ at 2nd-level without
spending a 2nd-level spell slot. If you fail,
the spell fails, having no effect and
spending a 2nd-level spell slot, and you
take 2d6 psychic damage.
You can use this feature a number of times
equal to your Charisma modifier (a
minimum of one). You regain any expanded
uses when you finish a long rest.
Gambling with Death:
At 18th level, you are able to bet your
soul against death itself. When you drop
to 0 hit points and don't die outright, you
may make a bet with death. To do so,
you choose low (1-10) or high (11-20),
then roll a d20. If the result matches
your choice, you drop to 1 hit point
instead. If the result doesn't match your
choice, death saving throws you make
are with disadvantage until you die,
stabilize, or regain hit points.
You can use this feature a number of
times equal to half your Charisma
modifier rounded up (minimum of one).
You regain any expended uses after a
long rest.
Game of Choice
Fate-Gamblers come in two types of
players: Arcane Gambits and Mystic
High-Rollers. They both are strong in their
own right, but they have different play
styles.
Arcane Gambit:
Arcane Gambits know when to play the right
cards, making them a hard person to
out-think. They use an ethereal deck, which
is extremely intricate in design and filled
with magical power.
Heart of The Cards:

choice at 1st level, you craft an ethereal
deck that only you can use, giving you
multiple possible effects.
You have the Doom and Praise cards and
two other cards of fate of your choice, which

have the cards ​Arcana,​ ​Doom,​ ​Life​, and

Praise​. You assign a number to each card:
one for ​Doom​, two for ​Praise​, three for
