Gambler

To the Gambler, life is simply a constant series of gambles, and the fickle hand of fortune throws its dice for them every day. Gamblers revel in the unpredictability that is life itself, trusting to chance and no little skill to make their name and fortune at gambling dens and casinos across the continent.

For Gamblers, it is not a matter of winning, though that is certainly beneficial, but cheating random chance through their ability to evaluate the odds, read the subtle signs in their opponents, and use a deft hand to shift luck in their favor. Win or lose, most Gamblers conduct themselves with class and style, putting a smile on even the soundest of defeats, ready to tempt the capriciousness of chance yet again.
