I almost always take Luck. It keeps PCs alive. I think it is like Combat Reflexes in a way - it's a deliberate bargain because it facilitates better games.

Daredevil is similar but of more limited use. It keeps crazy PCs in the action long enough to be Awesome for a while before the odds of Daredeviling around eventually catch up with them. Taking Luck too can help with this, ofc.

Ms Claus, my sphynx catgirl in Parajs' Planet Australia game (Basically Max Max Fury Road with more orbital bombardment and bioroids) had Daredevil and Luck (+ Overconfidence and Impulsive and a base dodge of 14). She survived 10 or so sessions but there were multiple occasions where the Luck and/or Daredevil saved her hairless pseudokitty tush from a grisly fate.
