[QUOTE="jimmifett, post: 5463738, member: 55006"] There are only 8 cards that grant strokes of luck, only two of those are triggered by OA, and only one of those is triggered by YOU instigating the OA (the other requiring an ally to be attacked by an OA). So, to get your reroll that you set up yourself via OA, you have a 1/10 chance at the start of encounter of drawing that card. You can't have multiples unless you increase the deck size by 10, and then it's only 1 additional copy per 10 cards, so it's always 1/10 chance at the start of the encounter. More copies means more potentially oppurtunities to use, but after that first use, your best chance of getting another copy is 1/19, 2/29, 3/39 etc. Then you have to actually trigger your use of the power, sitting on that card for however many rounds until you use it. During those rounds, you aren't using other fortune cards. So, under best conditions, you have 8/10 cards in your deck granting a re-roll. Of those, only 1 card can you activate through your own actions by triggering an OA against yourself, and one card an ally can trigger an OA for you to use that other card. Once that card is used, it is discarded for the rest of the encounter. The rest of the stroke of luck cards have trigger conditions beyond your ability to control, so you have to sit on that card and not use any other fortune card bonuses that encounter, or discard it to try for another fortune card, and then it is gone the rest of the encounter. Sounds fine to me. [/QUOTE]
