That makes it worth more like 5 or 6 inspiration “points” a day, as you get to use it only when you’re sure you need it. In fact it’s several times more powerful than three times inspiration because, unlike with inspiration, which you need to declare you’re using before you roll, with Lucky you can wait until the die is cast to decide if you’re going to force a re-roll.

All-in-all it works perfectly as a game mechanic – it’s a powerful reward, for extraordinary deeds, to be used at a key juncture in your party’s story.Īnd then in walks Lucky feat… and ruins everything.

If more than one creature spends a luck point to influence the outcome of a roll, the points cancel each other out no additional dice are rolled. Roll a d20, and then choose whether the attack uses the attacker’s roll or yours. You can also spend one luck point when an attack roll is made against you. You choose which of the d20s is used for the attack roll, ability check, or saving throw.
You can choose to spend one of your luck points after you roll the die, but before the outcome is determined. Whenever you make an attack roll, an ability check, or a saving throw, you can spend one luck point to roll an additional d20. You have inexplicable luck that seems to kick in at just the right moment.
