Re: Luck: Mundane or not?
Where's Sartorial Integrity from, and in a nutshell, what's it about? Since my group disbanded I haven't bought any of the new books, and that got me curious...
Edit: it occurs to me that this might have been asked in a private message, sorry for the off-topic post, everyone. Wellspring, can you PM me? Cheers. |

Re: Luck: Mundane or not?
I didn't find it in my PDFs, but I'm moderately certain it's a Perk from PU1 (which I don't own). It probably assures that your character is always neat and tidy. Good for those vain wizards that were always casting Prestidigitation in D&D, or supers whose nice white costumes seem never to get stained or dirty -- or whose curly forelock never moves from its position on their forehead.

Power-Ups 2, p. 14. Your clothes don't get dirty or torn.

If you were to run WWII 1000 times, chance would kill Murphy every other time. Luck would allow him to survive far more often than probability would dictate. It may be used as a meta-game aspect to keep your character alive when chance would not. But that's making your game mildly cinematic.

Re: Luck: Mundane or not?
For the record, in case this isn't posted already, one of the canonical THS characters has Luck. Complete with an explanation that it need not represent probability manipulation, but rather can represent a special careful/uncanny sort of competence.
