*We're stealing this from Tales of the Valiant by Kobold Press. :)* Every PC has a special resource called Luck. You use Luck to influence the result of any check. ## Gaining Luck When you create your character, start with 0 Luck. You gain Luck in the following ways: - Once per turn, when you fail to hit with an attack roll or fail a save, gain 1 Luck. ***==This is big!==*** - The GM can award 1 Luck as a reward for a clever idea, excellent roleplaying, or pursuing an interesting—rather than optimal—choice. - The GM can award any amount of Luck to one or more PCs for surviving difficult encounters or achieving story goals (in addition to XP or other rewards). ## Losing Luck You can have a maximum of 5 Luck at one time. If you already have 5 Luck and gain more, you must immediately roll a d4 and reset your Luck total to the number rolled. ## Spending Luck - You spend Luck to add a 1-for-1 bonus to any check you make. For example, if you have 4 Luck, and roll a 13 on the die, you can spend 2 Luck to make your result a 15 (leaving you with 2 Luck for later). - Immediately after you make a check (attack, ability check, or save), you can spend 3 Luck to reroll a d20 used for the check. Luck can’t stop a critical miss on a 1 or create a critical hit by adding up to 20. Note that Luck gained from a failed attack or save can’t be used to enhance the same roll that generated the Luck—you only accrue Luck after you officially fail the roll! ## House Rules - Any Source of Inspiration from your Destiny will earn you 2 Luck, and any Inspiration Feature from it will cost 3. - Luck can be shared between players, just like inspiration can. - Immediately after seeing the results of a damage roll, you can spend 3 Luck to take the minimum of incoming damage, or do max amount of outgoing damage. For a critical hit (in either direction), this requires 5 Luck, but if you're short don't hesitate to ask your companions for a little push!
