Fate/Italian job - Roman Holy Grail War

Oh boy. Put a Servant capable of completely shrouding their presence together with a gambler, and what you get is a rigged game of poker ^^
Before getting involved in the War, Ricardo should probably stop by the local Casinos on the way and earn himself some easy cash~

Oho, I like the new place~

Hoo boy, yeah no worries, no rush to drag Plank out of bed >.<
But yeah, I've got no qualms with moving on from the OOC, I'll just join whenever a free Master decides to pick the Saber slot ^^

Hmm, sad to see you go before the RP had the chance to get off its feet.
Oh, I might actually use this opportunity to say that I'd be fine giving up my Saber spot to any potential newcomers if they're interested. I realize it's a coveted spot after all, so I'm fine with filling the Berserker slot (or any slot really) if someone wants to submit a Saber~

Oh, no need to go as far as to say that you're exposing yourself, this merely means that I've wasted way too much of my time on Fate-related content~

But yeah, the poison I was referring to was actually mentioned in a short-story aptly named Zugzwang, included in the 10th Volume of Type-Moon Ace, which details the exploits of en elite unit called Zugzwang in the /Apocrypha Universe. After looking for the quote I actually realized that the poison only hindered the production of its victim's Magic Circuits, not completely numb them, so I made a blunder by misremembering that fact >.<
They appeared in the /Strange Fake novels too, but the quote in question comes from the /Apocrypha short-story in which they are slaughtered by Assassin of Black shortly after she was summoned by Rikudou Reika. It's more or less a prequel to the events of the main series, though solely relevant to the Rikudou Reika and Assassin of Black.

A man with a black-coated dagger and blowpipe in his hands spoke. The dagger and the darts of the blowpipe had paralysis poison coated on them. This poison, made for use against magi, did affected not only the body, but also someone’s Magic Circuits, and though it didn’t completely stop them, it did remarkably slow down their ability to weave spells.

In any case, it's interesting to hear where you drew inspiration from in regards to your ability, and I think it's fine the way it is since it isn't really game-breaking and doesn't conflict with anything in-universe as far as I'm aware, but my memory is spotty so take that with a grain of salt T.T
So yeah, like I said, I'm actually a fan of the concept behind those abilities of yours, so my mind went a bit wild to neatly fit them into the Fate Universe, which is why I prattled on an on about the mechanics and functionality, but that was just on my own personal whim. I like discussions like these, so I could quite help myself, my bad xP

But well, in the end it's up to the Mods to decide.

Meh, I think you're fine for the most most part in my opinion. Like I said, none of what you described is outlandish, just rarely seen. In the case of the first Joker, we've had cases of Phantasmal Beasts and/or their remainders remaining in this world so the possession of a feather wouldn't be impossible, but it goes without saying that it is a priceless artifact. Though in the case of Servants... saving a human who is near-death I can see, but I'm not all that sure how much such healing abilities would help when faced with the fractured Spiritual Core of a Servant. Seeing as they're not beings of flesh and blood, they're entire existences are built upon the Spiritual Cores that are connected to their head and heart, so I doubt they could recover from such injuries. Any other injuries should be easily healed by an artifact of such power however ^^

In regards to the second Joker, I'm assuming the ability to temporarily disable Magic Circuits is less of an alchemic poison like the one used by the members of Zugzwang, and more of an ability to force them to "shut down" similar to a computer and forcing them to "reboot", hence explaining the few hours needed for the victim's Circuits to become operational again. They've been describes as both mechanical and organic several times in the series, so causing them to behave this way isn't too far-fetched, but the question is more of a "how" rather than a "is it possible". You mentioned that the first Joker was crafted from a Phoenix Feather, so mayhaps the second Joker could have been crafted from materials harvested from a Succubus, Alp (from German folklore), or Kanashibari (from Japanese folklore), all of which are known to be associated with sleep paralysis or other inhibiting phenomena of some kind. The fact that the card contains traces of these Phantasmal Beasts would explain its powerful effects, seeing as you mentioned it even affects Servants to some degree, and since you've already gotten ahold of a Phoenix Feather, one more monster part wouldn't hurt, eh? xD

Interesting idea for a Master, and while he seems like a fun fellow to follow around on his shenanigans, I'm afraid my Saber is the picky type in regards to their Master, so I'll leave the choice up to random selection for now as to not resolve any potential conflict/friendships myself.

Oh, and a quick comment about your OC's Second Joker card, a field negating any and all magecraft while also acting as a numbing agent against Magic Circuits that lasts for several hours is a feat eclipsing the strength of Adra Castle, an entire building constructed to function as a mage's personal workshop capable of suppressing the magecraft of those within. That being said, a Workshop's main function isn't to crush or negate the magecraft of others as that is more of a secondary effect, and we've also seen cases of substances that can inhibit Magic Circuits upon contact, so I'm guessing such a powerful Mystic Code just might exist. It is highly specialized after all and only works for an instant. It is a scary trump card indeed, though it seems you've taken care to balance it appropriately.

By the way, just in case I came across as such, I don't really intend to scrutinize the ability, I actually think it's pretty sweet. It gives your OC the chance to reset the conditions of the battlefield and force everyone to calm down by de-powering all parties involved. It makes for a great show-stopper at a climactic moment while not granting him too overwhelming of an advantage since he'll be caught up in the effect as well. It's pretty neat.
That, and I'm a sucker for discussing abilities and powers, so please don't mind me fangasming... xD

Shame to see you go so soon @Endrance. You could always try to ask Plank or Crimmy if you could submit your Master as an NPC of sorts who wanted to join the Grail War but showed up only after all Servants were already summoned. He could then try to wait around (or even try to orchestrate the death of a Master so that he can assume ownership of their Servant) and possibly become a Master in the future ^o^
That is, only if you want to of course.

Oh boy, with all these great Servants on the market, I may have messed up by submitting a below-average Saber o . O

Casters always have the greatest potential for interesting abilities, so I don't doubt it ^^
