Gambler (Advanced Class)

High stakes, fast living, and a little bit of luck are all a gambler needs. Most Verge star systems have legalized gambling of one sort or another, and there are a variety of big stakes events that attract huge numbers of gamblers from both the Verge and Old Space alike. Gamblers spend a lot of time traveling from one system to another, so its not unusual for them to try their hand at smuggling and errand running between big games. However, very few gamblers have a connection or allegiance to anyone, let alone a government or corporate entity.

In the Verge: Aegis hosts an annual Poker Pentad (five days and nights of blue-chip poker), drawing the best gamblers from around the Verge. Every gambler worth her salt tries to find a sponsor to put up the formidable stake of $100,000 Concord Dollars if she can't swing the stake from her own funds.
