Aspects Of Survival - "Thrill Of Game"

Created by mrVitaly

In the wastelands before encountering the supernatural world, the Drifter encountered the "Black Deck", a ruthless faction of casino mafia commanded by enigmatic Edgar Pokerface, who wielded gambling and manipulation as tools of dominion. The organization's elite enforcers, the Jacks, were formidable combatants driven by insatiable hunger for power and wealth. Through coercion and desperation, enslaved scientists synthesized a potent gaseous compound called Joker—originally designed to intoxicate gamblers into reckless wagers, later weaponized into a combat stimulant that heightens focus, reflexes, intuition, and most critically, the user's appetite for perilous gambles. This Aspect channels the philosophy of its creators - "to win more - you need to bet more. If you want to win survival - you must bet life it self" and for that embrace audacity and unpredictability, escalate stakes relentlessly, and compel adversaries into increasingly desperate positions. When activated, the Drifter becomes emboldened by the intensity of an opponent's desire for defeat the drifter in any meaning of these words drawing strength from their determination while simultaneously siphoning stray magical energy released by their missteps.

Effects

Effects

For duration Drifter gains advantage on all attack rolls and saving throws. Additionally, whenever an enemy within range fails a saving throw, the caster absorbs half of their cursed energy used for attack, gaining temporary hit points equal to the amount absorbed. The drifter can choose to expend these temporary hit points to reroll a failed saving throw, then more cursed energy Drifter consumed then more increases his mania. The smile don't left Drifter's face when Aspect active.
