Body Points: (2) 1 / 2

In every society there are those who disdain the responsibilities and obligations of a mundane job to make a living and instead are drawn to the thrill of chance to win one. Most become second rate has-beens who fall prey to the odds but a select few can use their keen wit and mental agility to bend chance to their favor. In any tavern they can be spotted, dealing cards, throwing dice, or wagering on almost any mundane activity. Though many gamblers resort to common forms of deception such as weighted dice and marked cards, it is the true artist who wins through using his powers of observation and intelligence. Though the gambler is in love with the exhilaration, excitement, and prospect of a large reward when wagering, the same emotions sometimes draw them to less acceptable hobbies such as thievery and picking pockets.
