Revision as of 11:51, 13 April 2011

Number of Luck traits	Cost	Notes
None	0 GP	This is the norm, among ordinary characters and among high-GP characters
One Luck trait	2 GP	Pick an one luck trait
Two Luck traits	5 GP	(3 GP for the 2nd Luck trait - rarely worth it)
Three Luck traits	10 GP	(5 GP for the 3rd Luck trait - never really worth it)
Four Luck traits	25 GP	More than four is never appropriate even in high-GP campaigns

Trait	Effect	Double up	Cool down	Notes
Miracle	1 use /lifetime	3 uses /lifetime	1 Moon	A Miracle is an extreme coincidence, anything that does not violate actual physics, e.g. 5 coins can all land on the edge when tossed, even if the probability is one in a billion billions.
Minor Coincidence	1/Week	2/Week	1 Day	This is a minor coincidence, much less important than a major one, but still neat for the character. (It must benefit the character or his party directly.)
Major Coincidence	1/Moon	2/Moon	4 Days	This is a major coincidence, certainly far from a miracle, but still significant and impactful. (It must benefit the character or his party directly.)
Reroll	2/Week	5/Week	4 Hours	One roll directly pertinent to the character can be re-rolled. The result of the new roll must then be accepted.

Trait	Effect	Double up	Cool down	Notes
Jinx Foe	2/Moon	5/Moon	2 Days	This is a medium coincidence that negatively affects an enemy or rival of the character. It cannot be lethal, or overly blatant, but should inconvenience and slow down the foe or rival - or embarass him!
Lucky Pockets	4p/Moon	10p/Moon	4 Days	1 points for an small and inexpensive item plausibly carried, +1p for larger item, +1p for cheap item, +1p to +4p for an increasingly implausible item, increase to 6p/Moon or 15p/Moon respective if character has Scrounging skill 8 (this is an Elite Effect) and reduce CD to 3 Days, or double points and reduce CD to 2 Days for Scrounging skill 10+.
Aspected Luck (broad)	2/Moon	5/Moon	1 Day	2 or 5 medium coincidences per Moon, pertinent to a broadly interpretable "field of fortune".
Aspected Luck (narrow)	2/Week	5/Week	4 Hours	2 or 5 medium coincidences per Week, pertinent to a more narrowly interrpretable "field of fortune". As always, unspent coincidences are lost.
