The next horse was gray, and its rider held in his Damned hand a pair of dice and a sling, and Amoniel said, “His name is Chance.”

Feats:

Card Throw
You may use playing cards as weapons, using the following profile (0k1 R, Pen 2, Throwing).

Fixed Die
When a die would explode, you may choose to gain a free raise instead of rolling that exploded die. This counts as keeping dice for spellcasting, and may be spent as normal raises.

Improved Card Throw
Your playing cards gain the Tearing and Razor Sharp properties.

Lucky Sevens
When using throwing weapons, your damage dice explode on 7s.

Roulette
When you make an attack, call odds or evens before rolling to hit. If you are predict your total correctly and your attack hits, your attack stuns your opponent for one round. If you predict your total incorrectly and your attack missed, you are stunned for one round. If you predict your total incorrectly and hit or predict your total correctly and not hit, nothing unique happens.

The Devil’s Own Luck
You may spend a Hero Point to turn a 1 into a 10 that explodes as normal.

Risk Taker
You may add the Luck property to any weapon you use.

Warp Driver
Whatever you choose to drive becomes an embodiment of chance and possibility. Your bonded steed becomes a smoky grey, every movement echoed by an illusion of a different motion that it could have taken instead. This effect grants it the benefits of a Light Hexagrammatic Ward.

I would rephrase the completion bonus to be more like "1 additional use of Luck per day", similar to the Elemental Shots from Magitek Gunman.
Golden Riverside may or may not work with this class mechanically but it seems like a good thematic fit.

I just noticed that you don't get proficiency with Throwing weapons until Level 2. I repeat: you do not become proficient with the weapon this class is themed around until Level 2.

I want to switch around the proficiency feats on Levels 1 and 2 (making Throwing first and Ordinary second), but I don't want to screw with Username, who has been playing as a Gambler in our current game.

EDIT: Going ahead and removing Ballistics on the skill list. They don't get any gun related feats. Also removing Proficiency (Any) at Level 2 and replacing it with Skill Focus (Any).

Ballistics is used when attacking with thrown weapons.

I noticed that too, but I took Academy to get around that. 2 weapon proficiency for the cost of 1? Sure sign me up I figured.
It is a good idea to get that changed around though for the reasons mentioned.

Username

We discussed last night that Power Attack would be fitting for this class, lowering your odds of hitting for increased payoff. I think the Second level is probably the best place to put it.

Added Power Attack for the Huckster. Anything else need changing?

Username

I noticed you changed the Weapon Proficiency in the second level to Ordinary and made it Throwing for the first level, which did make sense since the class is very throwing focused.

I think you meant to have it be Weapon Proficiency (Basic) instead of Weapon Proficiency (Ordinary) though. Ordinary is a type of weapon, but not a proficiency grouping. In the original version of DtD, proficiency did go by weapon type instead of broader groupings but they were streamlined at some point.
