Gambler

The thrill of games of chance built either a lucrative sideline or a debt spiral, either way pushing toward the bigger risks of adventuring.

Granted Features
Automatic:
Reading a liar becomes a contest of wits, letting your own skill at deception catch a smooth talker mid-conversation.
A gift for lying and disguise turns a character into a convincing actor who can slip a feint past a distracted opponent mid-fight.

The thrill of the win drew you into games of chance. This might have been a lucrative sideline that paled in comparison to the real risks of adventuring, or you might have fallen on hard times due to your gambling and pursued adventuring as a way out of a spiral. Choose two attribute boosts. One must be to Dexterity or Charisma, and one is a free attribute boost. You're trained in the Deception skill and the Games Lore skill. You gain the skill feat.
