Fumble immunity

[Presence]

Is there an advantage for turning fumbles into normal failures? I've seen a lot of things that can do it most of the time or for specific tasks, but nothing broad ranged.

Luck, insane luck, the bless spell, physician for health spells, and probably others come close, and some of these are quite cheap and can grant virtual immunity, but I didn't notice an explicit advantage for this.

I'm guessing that 'fumbles' means "critical failures". IIRC there are some Perks that will reduce the frequency of critical failures -- look for Perks whose name begins with "Rule of".

If by "fumbles" you mean "Critical Failures" try: Super Luck 13 (only to turn Critical Failures in to Normal Failures -80%) [260]

A bit pricey...

Yes, but you're permanently immune to all critical failures.

Just Luck would Do you I think, depending how often you are rolling. Add Daredevil if it fits.

If my Probability Foo is Correct I think you would need about 35 rolls to have a 50% chance of a crit. If you do MORE than that in an hour of play you might need Luck 2.

Does Luck 1 not suffice?

How does that work? Wouldn't that mean it only works 13 times then you are, ahem, out of luck?

No.

Super luck 1 [100] lets you choose the result of a die roll once per real hour. Each extra level of super luck halves that time:
1: 3600 seconds
2: 1800 seconds
3: 900 seconds
4: 450 seconds
5: 225 seconds
6: 113 seconds
7: 57 seconds
8: 29 seconds
9: 15 seconds
10: 8 seconds
11: 4 seconds
12: 2 seconds
13: 1 second

You're unlikely to roll more than once per second. If you find that you do roll more than once per second, just bump it up to 14 levels.

So you can stack Super Luck? Kick butt!

Can't you make a "Fast Talk GM" roll and stall for say 30 Seconds, and make it Super Luck 8?
