[username]

The next horse was gray, and its rider held in his Damned hand a pair of dice and a sling, and Amoniel said, “His name is Chance.”

NEW Feats

Card Throw
You always have a pack of playing cards on your person. With this feat, you can use playing cards as Thrown weapons using the following profile: (0k2 R, Pen 0, Range: Dexterityx3)

Devil’s Own Luck
You may spend a Hero Point to turn a 1 into a 10 that explodes as normal.

Fixed Die
When a die you rolled would explode, you may choose to gain a free raise is you keep that die rather than rolling the explosion. This counts as keeping exploded dice for spellcasting.

Improved Card Throw
Your playing cards gain Tearing and Proven 3.

Lucky Sevens
For each 7 you roll on damage, gain a static +1 to the total damage.

Power Shot
If you hit, it hurts. IF you hit. When making a ranged weapon attack, you may choose to take -Xk0 to attack and gain +Xk0 to damage, where X is any number up to your Level. If you make Multiple attacks during a round you must decide to use this ability before making any attacks, and it applies to all your attacks that round

Poker Face

Reading you is easier said than done. Any attempts to target you with Divination spells or the Scrutiny skill face a static penalty equal to your level.

Risk Taker
You may add the Luck property to any weapon you use.

Roulette

When attempting a test, before rolling any dice, you may call odds or evens. If more of the dice you rolled than not were what you called, you gain a free raise to the test. If not, you take a Check.

Warp Driver
Your mount is a manifestation of a covenant sealed, empowered by the Warp to better serve your fell purpose. When you take this feat, gain the benefit listed for the class you received it as part of. This feat can only be taken once.

• High Roller: Whatever you choose to drive becomes an embodiment of chance and possibility. Your bonded steed becomes a smoky grey, every movement echoed by an afterimage of a different motion that it could have taken with its hooves, wheels, or other drive systems. This effect causes no penalties to the steed, and in fact grants it the benefits of Standard Jump Jets.

Reposted with some editing. The previous version was in between some changes and I asked Weredrago2 if he'd mind if I took a crack at it. The process is of course still ongoing, although the biggest change is to make it require Perception and give Zen Shooting rather than requiring ballistics. Enchantment, Divination and Illusion generally don't require attack rolls so the problem of using ballistics for those attacks isn't relevant.

Updated Warp Driver to be in line with the new versions. Based on the benefits the others provided (something size 1-2 and cost 10-15) the size 2, cost 10 Standard Jump Jets seemed in line. The description somewhat fits. Others considered were thermoptic camo (too expensive at 25 points) and Orgone Antenna (in line with the ECM at 2 size and 15 cost, but I didn't want to go right to the max and jump jets seems more fitting). If your vehicle is already flying, well, too bad.

Weredrago2's old version if needed for reference is:

Warp Driver
Whatever you choose to drive becomes an embodiment of chance and possibility. Your bonded steed becomes a smoky grey, every movement echoed by an afterimage of a different motion that it could have taken with its hooves, wheels, or other drive systems. This effect causes no penalties to the steed, and in fact grants it the benefits of a Light Hexagrammatic Ward.

odds is the correct thing to call on roulette; 10's explode infinitely so there are 5 odd results a die can give and 4 even results. even in the case of specialties, your rerolls can still land on 1's after all.
