Song of Luck (1006)
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
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

The bard is able to craft a Luck Talisman, and is unlocked when you learn 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
“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 - the other combat systems don’t have open rolls) against 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 to release the captured luck so the character’s next attack (in any combat system) uses an open roll. (i.e. 100 + d100). It is capable of storing 5 charges.
