Rolling the dice three times and taking the best result is approximately the equivalent of getting a +3 bonus, probability-wise. (This is a huge oversimplification, but good enough for eyeballing.) There's no real way to factor in the "and I can do it retroactively" bit, though, and that's the real utility of Luck.
