Table 7-9: Luck Changes

[bogenblitz]

Hello, All. Yep, another question about Luck...

In table 7-9 on page 361 there is a column labeled "Modifier." To me, this means if you are awarding +1 to +3, this goes toward the modifier and not the Luck ability score. After all, it says "modifier." However, this just doesn't feel right to me. Is this table actually talking about changing the modifier itself, regardless of the ability score?

Thanks for you help!

Modifies the base score.

Thank you! I don't know why I've had such a hard time wrapping my head around Luck.

I have a related question to this -- can the luck changes on table 7-9 raise a character's luck above its starting value, or only replace Luck points that have been burned down? This came up in our last gaming session, and there were differing opinions on it. Thanks!

Yes, definitely (raise above starting value).

Characters who consistently exemplify the virtues of their alignment may, over time, find themselves becoming luckier.

Cool, that's what I was thinking, but wasn't positive. Thanks!

Maybe you lack some in real life
