WARNING!
This article is Work-In-Progress! It's not quite ready for prime-time, but might show some very early work.
Overview
With the Gambler job, you can indulge in games of chance using your job powers, where your luck matters perhaps more than your skill, and you flirt with tragic danger and dramatic success with a roll of the die. Gamblers gain bonuses to Evasion and Casting, making them able to dodge attacks headed their way, and respond with magick, often used in their techniques. They tend to be a long-range job, with their "darts" (usually knives and cards and such) and their magickal ability, but they are by no means a pure magickal class, and can hold their own in the front row thanks to a high Evasion. Because a gambler's abilities are fairly unpredictable, the role they play in a party must be fluid: they are capable of some tremendous damage, but they are also capable of hurting their own party.
Gambler Statistics
Base Statistics
Dexterity and Intelligence are the hallmark of the gambler, with both a quick wrist and a quick wit adding to their Evasion and Casting. Charisma can be key when you hit a lucky streak, and some gamblers use Wisdom or Constitution to help mitigate the effects of when their luck turns against them.
