Target's Luck Modifier and crits against

[Magsman]

I don't see this mentioned anywhere else in the book. Shouldn't this rule be mentioned in sections concerning Luck modifiers and the sections concerning Critical Hits (the formula and tables). I guess the reverse of a target's Luck Modifier is added to an opponent's roll on the Crit Tables, thus, lessening the crit result.

(2nd and 3rd printing), Page 95, Burning Luck, bullet 1:

"
• A character can only burn Luck to affect his own die
rolls (except for halflings as noted in their class description).
Luck cannot be burned to affect the die roll
of other characters or monsters, even if they affect the
character. (Note that the character’s Luck modifier
does apply to enemy crits against him, but this Luck
modifier is different from burning off Luck.)"

Pg 385 (Monster Crit Tables) points out that a PC target's Luck Modifier affects a Monster's critical hits.

Contrary to other RPGs, opponent NPCs are not expected to be built using the PC Character Classes, and are considered "monsters" (as was the case in OD&D).

So it is pointed out in the right spot, it's just not a spot where everyone might be expecting it.

As clear as day:

"A PC’s Luck modifier always alters a monster’s critical hit. A positive Luck modifier reduces the monster’s roll, whereas a negative modifier grants a bonus to the monster’s critical hit roll."

Thanks for the quick response
