You'll see that the gambler's ability to see someone's exact role can be useless in some cases and a life saver in others. The Gambler can't hold the same strategy for every game. They need to adapt to the people they play with.

Alignment: Neutral Benign

Backstory:

The Godfather and the Gambler decided to meet that night and discuss night over a simple game of poker. Each had a cigar planted in their mouths, each had an uncomfortable chair to sit, and each had a large sum of money to toss around. Joining them was the Mafioso and the Blackmailer, with the consort sitting near having a chat with the Janitor of the next night’s plans.

They Gambler brought up his boredom with card games and dice, and brought his idea to the Godfather. What if instead of aces and jacks, they bet on bloodshed and chaos? The Godfather listened in, intrigued.

The Gambler took out a bag full of cash. He told the Godfather that he bet 20,000 that the sheriff would be murdered the next day. The Godfather looked at his deck, and saw the money in the middle. He had nothing, not even a pair. He laid his cards down, stood up, and shook on the bet.

Doesn't matter, they're dead: Win a bet on someone who was cleaned Candidly this seems moderately boring, similar to the Spectator format, where someone just sits around and does jacksh*t.

It bets with barely any reward, and has info useless to everyone. Unless they were teamed with a faction, these results would most likely be useless and bland. Even if they were to team, they would be most likely killed by the opposing faction(s) for threatening to reveal information.

However, if you could change the reward to something else, like gain a defense, attack, etc. (however attacking wouldn’t allow this to be ) otherwise it seems awfully and frankly boring/useless.

With my frank stereotypical opinionated rating, 3/10. Maybe try again.
