Some rogues steal fortunes. Lowclass Degenerates lose them, insist the next hand will fix everything, and spray casino tricks at anyone who questions the strategy.

[b][size=5][img width=111]https://staticdelivery.nexusmods.com/mods/3474/images/24580/24580-1787456872-1999268243.png[/img][/size][/b]

[b]Rigged Colour Spray [/b]
Spray a cone of rigged gaudy casino-light. Targets can be [b]Dazzled [/b]or Blinded.
(Cast as a Bonus Action, your CHA modifier determines the number of uses per short rest.)

[b]Dealer's Fan[/b]
Spray a fan of playing cards to inflict Force damage and deal a [b]Marked Card.[/b] If the target was already marked, its old card is played first, then a fresh random suit is dealt.
(Cast as a Bonus Action, your CHA modifier determines the number of uses per short rest. Damage scales with Rogue level.)

[b]Marked Card[/b]
Every valid creature hit by [b]Dealer's Fan[/b] is automatically dealt one random suit. [b]Hearts. Diamonds. Clubs. Spades.[/b] Hitting an already marked target again plays its current card, then deals a fresh random card. 

[b]Hearts[/b]
When played, the target loses 2 Charisma for 2 turns. [b]Loaded Mark [/b]increases this to 3.

[b]Diamonds - The House Collects[/b]
When played, some of the target's eligible possessions may spill onto the ground.

[b]Clubs[/b]
When played, the target deals 2 less melee damage for 2 turns. [b]Loaded Mark [/b]increases this to 3.   

[b]Spades[/b]
When played, the target loses 10% Maximum Hit Points until combat ends. This does not stack with itself. [b]Loaded Mark [/b]increases the loss to 15%.

[b]Last Ante[/b]
Make a reckless wager against creatures. Targets who fail a Dexterity Saving Throw take full Force damage. If they succeed they take half Force damage and you receive Psychic Backlash. After the wager resolves, you automatically gain 1 [b]Chasing Losses[/b] tier, up to 4.
(Cast as a Bonus Action, your CHA modifier determines the number of uses per short rest.)

[b]Chasing Loses[/b]
Keep Chasing Losses to raise the stakes. The more Psychic Backlash you risk, the more Force damage you can inflict. (see below for risk/reward).

[b]Walk Away[/b]
Fold before the house collects. Immediately remove every [b]Chasing Losses[/b] tier from yourself. Walk Away deals no damage, grants no reward, and exists purely to reset the escalating risk.

[b]Loaded Mark[/b]
Your [b]Marked Cards[/b] become loaded. [b]Hearts[/b]: -3 Charisma for 2 turns. [b]Clubs[/b]: -3 melee damage for 2 turns. [b]Spades[/b]: -15% Maximum Hit Points until combat ends, non-stacking. [b]Diamonds [/b]becomes more aggressive and attempts to spill more eligible items when available.

[b]Final Ante[/b]
Your whale level wagers become dangerously high risk-high reward. At Tier 3 [b]Chasing Losses[/b], [b]Last Ante[/b] increases to 5d8 Force / 3d8 Psychic backlash. At Tier 4, it increases to 6d8 Force / 4d8 Psychic backlash.
