WalkingParadox Posted December 8, 2017 Report Share Posted December 8, 2017 Hey All, I'm looking to create a character with powers based around Luck. Besides the Luck power itself, y'all have any ideas for some interesting and fun effects that would work in combat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucius Posted December 8, 2017 Report Share Posted December 8, 2017 There is Combat Luck, but it's almost too obvious to bear mentioning. Lucius Alexander The palindromedary asks since when has that stopped me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surrealone Posted December 9, 2017 Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 IIRC, the UNTIL Superpowers Database (Revised) has a LUCK Powers section in which a number of Luck-based Power concepts are written up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Champions Powers (the 6e equivalent) has them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucius Posted December 9, 2017 Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 "Just Lucky I Guess" Martial Arts. You tripped and fell!: 1/2 Phase, +0 OCV, +1 DCV, 2d6 +v/10, Target Falls cost 3 You Missed!: 1/2 Phase, -- OCV, +5 DCV, Dodge, Affects All Attacks, Abort cost 4 You dropped your weapon!: 1/2 Phase, -1 OCV, +1 DCV, Disarm; 20 STR to Disarm cost 4 You walked right into that one!: 1/2 Phase, -2 OCV, +1 DCV, 6d6 Strike cost 5 Check your backstop: (Total: 87 Active Cost, 35 Real Cost) Reflection (75 Active Points' worth), Trigger (Activating the Trigger is an Action that takes no time, Trigger resets automatically, immediately after it activates, Character does not control activation of personal Trigger; When a ranged attack misses the character; +3/4) (87 Active Points); Limited Power only to hit a target who could reasonably be hit after the character is missed. (-1), Cannot Use Targeting (-1/2) (Real Cost: 35) When a ranged attack misses the character, check for anyone or anything the same attack might hit that lies in a straight line from the attack's origin point to the lucky character. Whether that target is between the character and the attack origin point or beyond the character but in the same line, the character may redirect the attack at that unfortunate target if they choose. This is in addition to any normal scatter or missed fire rules in effect. Lucius Alexander I'm lucky to have a palindromedary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoneWolf Posted December 9, 2017 Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 Overall skill levels for when you succeed by sheer luck. You make the perception roll because you just happen to glance up. You made the knowledge roll because you just ran into someone who mentioned the answer. Danger sense would also be appropriate. The special effect is that you just happen to move when the person is attacking you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrinku Posted December 9, 2017 Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 DCV and/or 10+ Penalty skill levels vs various things (range, hit location etc) appropriate to the setting and their powers and abilities for making that "shot in a million". Deduction for making a "lucky guess". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
