Bards may craft a Luck Talisman when they reach level 30 and have learned 30 ranks in the Bard spell circle. When worn, the item will grant a chance to reroll combat rolls for a better result. There are 6 total tiers. The first 5 tiers each grants a 4% chance of a reroll. This reaches a maximum of a 20% chance of a reroll. The 6th tier enables the use of "Fated Fortune". |

===Fated Fortune=== |

'''<big>Fated Fortune</big>'''Once a Luck Talisman reaches tier 5, it may be further imbued (tier 6, requiring 200,000 luck) with luck to unlock the Fated Fortune ability. When the Luck Talisman saves a character from an open roll (which would only happen when defending against SMR since the other combat systems don’t have open rolls) by a creature that they can learn from (no more than 10 levels below them), it stores that lost luck from the attacker as a charge. The talisman can then be activated (with RUB) to release the captured luck so the character’s next attack (in any combat system) uses an open roll. (i.e. 100 + d100). The talisman can store 5 charges of Fated Fortune. |

A new talisman comes with 200 charges - if all charges are drained, it will stop working. This is separate from the charges stored for tier 6 ("L6"). Charges are drained in a somewhat random manner similar to [[Enhancive item]]<nowiki/>s, but only during combat. The rate of charges being used is not affected by how often the talisman provides a benefit nor how often you may attack or be attacked, so those who have more "spammy" hunting styles are not penalized. When a charge is drained, there is an unknown and perhaps random cooldown period where no more charges may be drained. |

Song of Luck improves the overall luck of a bard and their group by giving an increased chance of success at performing certain actions, such as creature maneuvers, Combat Maneuvers, and Disarming Traps. The spell does not always increase the luck of the bard and their party; however, increased training in the Bard Base circle increases the chances that this spell will activate.
Instead of outright raising the chance for an event to occur (or not occur), the spell will grant a second roll. The higher of the two rolls will be the one factored into the event.
Activation can vary from system to system, but generally (such as with the standard maneuver roll), bards have a base 50% chance + 1% per 3 spellsongs while non-Bards have a flat 33% chance for a reroll. Provided by GM Estild

Bard Service - Luck Talismans
Bards may craft a Luck Talisman when they reach level 30 and have learned 30 ranks in the Bard spell circle. When worn, the item will grant a chance to reroll combat rolls for a better result. There are 6 total tiers. The first 5 tiers each grants a 4% chance of a reroll. This reaches a maximum of a 20% chance of a reroll. The 6th tier enables the use of "Fated Fortune".
The % chance to reroll applies to AS/DS, CS/TD, UCS, and SMR rolls when attacking or defending. Each of these attacks will have a (tier * 4%) chance to reroll, and the final result will be the higher of the two rolls. This is especially beneficial for mitigating SMR open rolls.
Fated Fortune
Once a Luck Talisman reaches tier 5, it may be further imbued (tier 6, requiring 200,000 luck) with luck to unlock the Fated Fortune ability. When the Luck Talisman saves a character from an open roll (which would only happen when defending against SMR since the other combat systems don’t have open rolls) by a creature that they can learn from (no more than 10 levels below them), it stores that lost luck from the attacker as a charge. The talisman can then be activated (with RUB) to release the captured luck so the character’s next attack (in any combat system) uses an open roll. (i.e. 100 + d100). The talisman can store 5 charges of Fated Fortune.
Charges
A new talisman comes with 200 charges - if all charges are drained, it will stop working. This is separate from the charges stored for tier 6 ("L6"). Charges are drained in a somewhat random manner similar to Enhancive items, but only during combat. The rate of charges being used is not affected by how often the talisman provides a benefit nor how often you may attack or be attacked, so those who have more "spammy" hunting styles are not penalized. When a charge is drained, there is an unknown and perhaps random cooldown period where no more charges may be drained.
Upgrading your talisman to the next tier refills the charges to 200. You may also have a bard add charges at a cost of 1000 inspiration per charge.
Eligible Items
The target item must be wearable, non-combat, non-container, and non Scripted to become a Lucky item. The item must not use a RUB activator for anything else (like an imbedded spell). Enhancive items are eligible. Crumbly items are also eligible but if they crumble, there will be no refunds. There will be a warning when attempting to turn a crumbly item into a Luck Talisman. If the target item is non-functional, it will become functional when turned into a Lucky item, and will afterwards count toward relevant functional inventory slots.
Your local Bard Guild may sell items that you may find ideal for this purpose.
Songstones
Songstones are required for each service cast. They may be purchased at your local Bard Guild and cost 50k silvers each. They may be bundled up to 12 charges and become songstone clusters when bundled. Each tier requires (tier * 1) songstone held in your left hand when casting.
Binding
Lucky Talismans bind to their user when used in combat and can be reset every 30 days by using the ANALYZE verb beforehand and/or naturally re-binding it during its first active use in combat. The lucky item's analyze keeps track of this countdown.
Luck Inspiration
The bard Resource for this service is called "Luck Inspiration" and can be tracked using the RESOURCE verb. A bard may earn 50k resource per week, with the weekly cap resetting with each new Gift of Lumnis. A bard may store a maximum of 200,000 Luck Inspiration.
The table below details the bonus and Luck Inspiration required for each Luck tier. Suffusion may be used if necessary. Fumbles are possible (how unlucky!) even with 100% nominal success chance.
The difficulty is calculated by: 75 + (tier * 75)
| Tier | Difficulty | Bonus Needed for 100% | Inspiration Required |
|---|---|---|---|
| L1 | 150 | 250 | 50,000 |
| L2 | 225 | 325 | 75,000 |
| L3 | 300 | 400 | 100,000 |
| L4 | 375 | 475 | 125,000 |
| L5 | 450 | 550 | 150,000 |
| L6 | 525 | 625 | 200,000 |
Creating/Improving a Lucky Talisman
Holding a songstone (with enough charges) in your left hand and the item in your right hand: PREP 1006 + CAST at the item to check the difficulty, then PREP 1006 + CHANNEL at the item twice to perform the service.
Adding Charges (Refilling)
PREP 1006 + EVOKE at the item twice. No songstone required. 1000 inspiration per charge cost.
To add charges, you must have enough resources to fully charge the item. You cannot partially charge it. Example: If it is currently at 80/200 charges, you must have a full 120k resources to charge it (200-80=120 charges needed).
