burn luck to increase the armor class

Post by BaophraT »

Good evening to you,

First, sorry for my english level because I am Breton and I don't speak your language quite well...

I did my first playtest DCC today and I want to know if it's possible to burn luck to increase the armor class.

Thanks to answer to me if you can !

The first answer, which is first and true, is that it's your game so do as you see fit.

Having said that, by the rules luck cannot be burned for something like increasing armor class.

Thanks ! It's clear now. So the Player Character may die from infection...

Burning luck affects the PCs own dice rolls only for attacks, damage, saves etc and can't be used to influence others dice rolls, so technically no... but rules are made to be broken (if the DM allows it!).

He can, but what does it have to do with armor class?

I'd just want to say that I had not applied the rules because I authorized a PC to burn his luck in order to increase his AC. So I'll explain to him he survived in the heat of the moment but he finally died from infection a few days later.
