Some fun ideas for the setting-

saloon games!

Of course, and others. I was just going to like, set up a wheel or some dice or something with effects on it.

And the Roulette could still work the same even with that knowledge. Random BS go!

Or could go the route of it being a unique and unusually design weapon.

@Redking0380

Sounds good! Of course, with the "experimental" design (given how it works, you could call it a speed-loader), if it gets damaged or broken, it'll automatically be "beyond repair".

If you're OK with that, you can move it to the character tab!

I shall tip my hat, one legend to another.

ASH

Bruce ‘Ash’ Brisco
33
Male

Appearance: A tall man with charcoal skin and a more city-slicker style of dress than many in the west.

Brief Background:

Much more well known under the epithet ‘Gamblin Man Of Neworlawn’, Bruce is a gambler through and through. Been chased out of every establishment in the east and more than a fair share of the west, cause he just keeps winning. To the detriment of everyone including himself.

Smooth talking does little when you just did some daytime robbery, and at a certain point money does little to fix issues. Good thing he has a touch of luck and a good revolver to his name.

The magic helps too.

Strengths:

• Devils Luck - Maybe the Devil laughs at the misfortune around him or maybe he is just favored. Maybe he has nothing at all. At the end of the day, things just seem to work out.
• Heart Of The Cards - Even without luck, Ash is an expert of gambling games and all the little ‘legal’ tricks to make them better or worse. Though, just because the rules allow it doesn't mean the players will. Also knows some neat card tricks.
• Saloon Brawler - A few too many fights in a few too many odd places, mainly saloons, leads to one having really good improvisation skills in a fight. Course, he prefers to be able to draw and shoot someone but he has learned more than his fair share of using everything and anything around as makeshift weapons and being slippery as possible while doing it.
• Roulette - Magic is a fickle thing, but Ash has got it! Kinda…
  He might not be no spell slinger, but he can recharge the crystal chambers of his revolver on the fly. Issue being he can't actually dictate what the effects are or really know till he pulls the trigger. Least he doesn't have to buy ammo?

Weaknesses:

• Gamblin Man - Who can resist a good game of chance? Not this guy.
• Debts - Look, just cause he tends to win doesn't mean he always wins. Debtors are out there, and Ash tends to be rather recognizable and not very good at laying low.
• There Are Many Like It - There is one unique quirk about the magics of Ash in that it reacts rather…poorly with other Cristols. His revolver is one of a kind, and is the only one that doesn't blow up in his hands. Carefully attuned to handle the idiosyncrasies of his gambles.

@Redking0380

Nice Rango reference!

I have to point out a detail that I guess I didn't clarify well enough in the OP- the only moving parts of a cristol is the trigger, and any cristol only holds one crystal at a time; the crystal holds so many charges of a single spell (normally, put in that), like wands and such in D&D. It would only make sense to carry 2 or 3 spare crystals at least, twice that for martial types.

You've offered up some good balancing traits, how do you plan to randomize the effects? Is "backfire" among the risks?
