clsage Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 Inspired by Enforcer84's recent "How to build a Supergenius" thread, I got to thinking and was wondering if any of those who GM would allow the following in their campaigns: "Insight Of The Genius" : 3D6 Luck - Only usable for gaining insightfull solutions to tech and/or science related issues Basically, it's a mental equivalent of Combat Luck (or at least, my personal interpretation of Combat Luck)..... Thoughts ? -Carl- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost-angel Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 Re: Would You Allow.....? Sure, looks like a creative use of Luck to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tadk Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 Re: Would You Allow.....? I would allow that. Seems reasonable to me as well as a logical extension of the genre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloodstone Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 Re: Would You Allow.....? I'd allow something like it, but I'm not sure how useful it would be. Would depend a lot on the rest of the character. I mainly use the "count Normal Damage BODY to figure out how many re-rolls you get per session" method for Luck. If you have a truly massive INT (38+), you're probably not going to fail that many rolls unless there are stiff penalties. In that case, having those re-rolls may not be useful very often. If your super genius only has an 18 INT or so, needing re-rolls is going to come up a lot more often. Of course, it seems every GM I know runs Luck a different way, so that might not matter for an individual game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrosshairCollie Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 Re: Would You Allow.....? I'd just buy it as extra INT or extra Levels, myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
