Birth Augur and Lucky Roll

I do too, and I definitely think that non-Rogues/Halflings should be able to recover Luck as well. Recovering it based on actions in accordance with their alignment, doing particularly heroic actions, and/or deeds helping the cosmic powers.

They do. If you look there is a post here by "Goodman" stating that he typically awards 1-2 luck after an adventure to all players (for their heroic actions and deeds essentially).

I'll probably run it that your Birth Augur gives you an automatic +1 bonus in your lucky roll, unaffected by your actual luck score. (Since the luck mod already effects criticals, I don't consider this a big balance loss) Eliminating the 'sliding scale' eliminates the bookkeeping. It could also provide a nice story promoter, as a character might pursue a career that they're otherwise wholly unsuited for, since they're 'just a bit lucky' in that area.

This is a neat idea. I've had quite a few characters end up with negative luck modifiers from the start, so their lucky Birth Augur is almost always a bummer. This is a step in the right direction, since it means that every character has something special (and positive) going for him.

I don't like a Lucky Roll to be always positive. It should be "a roll influenced by bad or good luck", even if you don't want it fluctuating up or down. Maybe making it a -1 if Luck is equal or less than 10, a +1 if Luck is more than 10. I think that getting a +0 to your lucky roll is kind of dull.

PS: in playtest, my absolute favourite 0-level character was a gravedigger with stats :
Str 5
Dex 7
Sta 8
Per 8
Int 9
Luc 3
Believe it not, he survived the funnel. He was a dodgy bastard, letting others die to save his old ass, i admit. But he had as a Lucky Roll "Fumbles" ... and he fumbled... with a -6 total to his roll! I had been waiting all the time for him to score a 1, just to see what happened!

You write that as if he's mythical or something...

It's the real Joseph Goodman, owner of Goodman Games. The Big Kahuna. The Head Honcho. The Boss (sorry, Springsteen, your title's been nabbed).

Lol I just couldn't think of his real name and was too lazy to look it up
