Gambling
Attribute: Intelligence
The individual has an expertise in betting and games of chance. The character has an understanding of how to play many standard gambling games, and knows how to detect cheating or a rigged game (this is an uncertain opposed test against the Gambling skill of the person doing the cheating). This skill also allows the ability to calculate odds. However, gambling should never be confused with, normal risk-taking.
The Gambling skill only confers knowledge of the technical aspects of such games, and how to take advantage of them. Interaction with other gamblers, or with persons the character is attempting to fleece (or is being fleeced by), requires the use of other talents. Certain Charisma-based skills, such as Act/Bluff, Carousing, Persuasion, and Liaison should be used in conjunction with the Gambling skill in such cases.
