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.
