Gambler[edit]
The pitter patter of dice rolling on a wooden table, the soft noise of shuffling playing cards, the pings and clinks of gold pieces hitting the table: these sounds are like an angelic symphony to you. Win or lose, you are drawn to gambling like a bee to flowers. Are you the type that constantly bluffs, or the kind that doesn't know what a poker face is? Do you spend your nights raking in large sums of gold? Or do you barely scrape by on your winnings? And most importantly, what is your preferred game; dice, cards, chariot races? Or are you the sort that tries everything to earn gold? No matter your preference, the fact remains the same; you are a gambler, and you have come to play.
Skill Proficiencies: Deception, Sleight of Hand
Tool Proficiencies: Two types of gaming sets
Equipment: Dice set, playing card set, fine clothes, and a belt pouch containing 5 gp.
Feature: Let’s Make Things Interesting[edit]
You can convince nearly anyone to put up something they aren’t willing to part with (property, information, coin, or an item) by putting up something that you have, in a game of chance. Your DM might rule that they will only agree to a game of their choosing, and they may only agree if they feel the odds are heavily stacked in their favor. Roll for charisma, if used many times in succession the DM can institute a temporary negative modifier on your charisma rolls.

Gladiator
A gladiator is as much an entertainer as any minstrel or circus performer trained to make the arts of combat into a spectacle the crowd can enjoy. This kind of flashy combat is your entertainer routine, though you might also have some skills as a tumbler or actor. Using your By Popular Demand feature, you can find a place to perform in any place that features combat for entertainment-perhaps a gladiatorial arena or secret pit fighting club. You can replace the musical instrument in your equipment package with an inexpensive but unusual weapon, such as a trident or net.

By Popular Demand
You can always find a place to perform, usually in an inn or tavern but possibly with a circus, at a theater, or even in a noble's court. At such a place, you receive free lodging and food of a modest or comfortable standard (depending on the quality of the establishment), as long as you perform each night. In addition, your performance makes you something of a local figure. When strangers recognize you in a town where you have performed, they typically take a liking to you.
Successful entertainers have to be able to capture and hold an audience's attention, so they tend to have flamboyant or forceful personalities. They're inclined toward the romantic and often cling to high-minded ideals about the practice of art and the appreciation of beauty.
