Gambler Type

[Deleted]

Type: Gambler


Description: Some people take chances, they bet on the outcome of life itself. Relying on their luck and wits, these people take big risks, but also often get the biggest rewards. Gamblers must take chances, if there are none, they create them themselves. They feel the compulsion, the need, for risk in everything they do, be it cards or games of chance, or battle. If they feel safe, they will do something to cause a chance of risk, either a handicap, or purposely enraging the opponent. This is a personality requirement.

Rank 3: Random stats are increased by 150%

Rank 4: Random stats are increased by 200%

[For purposes of die rolling stats, 1 is Strength, 2 speed, 3 SpR, etc.]

If someone changes type, and then changes back, the same stats will be chosen. For someone changing TOO this type, a mod will use the same method to decide stats.

So, here's a big question I have. What happens if you roll the same stats for the advantage and disadvantage? Also, 5000 ryo to start?

[Aaragon]

I just don't see the point in this type.

[Himitsu Kasumi'Oji]

I'm pretty sure this is only feasible if you role before making the character.

[Amagai Kuchiki]

Critique: the 2 stats that get cut should be forced to be Speed, Strength, RS, SpPr. The 2 stats that get buffed should be anything.

I don't like the type very much, but this change would need to occur to make this actually reasonable (when compared to Soldier and Leader).

[Zeich Yajuu]

Honestly I'm against this type. Being a gambler shouldn't completely randomize your physical, spiritual, or sensory conditions; it's a trait, but it isn't one that should determine your abilities.

I like the concept, but I don't think that it fits our role for Types.

@ Mourge: Reroll, and ya know, for gambling.

@ Ray: That's okay xD most of the people don't really seem to, seems like my idea is pretty farfetched.

@ Himitsu: That's mostly what makes this type so much of a gamble, and could easily make you have to rethink the common builds for a character, and maybe come up with some really creative character builds.

@ Rudy: That makes a lot of sense, if I pursue the type anymore I'll do that.

@ Zwolf: I completely understand, and after taking a second look and listening to the feedback I've gotten, I would have to say I agree, this would work better as a powerset rather than a type.

Thanks everyone for the feedback! I really appreciate you guys taking the time to critique and give your opinions on it!
