[QUOTE="iserith, post: 7432671, member: 97077"] In my Planescape game, I gate feats behind faction membership. If you join a faction, you get access to certain feats. Otherwise, feats aren't an option for your character. To get the Lucky feat, you have to join the Xaositects, a group that revels in chaos. Chungus, the half-orc barbarian, joined the faction in part due to access to that feat. Also, he's a crazy hillbilly. He uses Lucky only to avoid something disastrous or to ensure that he can pull off the exciting, memorable thing he has in mind. In the last session, the party was doing battle on the Infinite Staircase. Chungus was doing an end run to get at a sorcerer sniping the party from a defensible position. Along the way, he raised the ire of a vrock who started chasing him and dive-bombed him with a cloud of spores. He failed that save and, knowing that he didn't want to get nailed with ongoing poison damage which he couldn't resist when he went into a rage, he used Lucky to succeed. Once he got close to her, she blasted him with a gust of wind to knock him off the platform - a 200-foot fall! He botched his Strength save and, faced with 20d6 damage coming his way, he got Lucky and succeeded. Later, the party was fighting a blackguard possessed by a shadow demon (with the ghost Possession trait). Once they had thrown a beating on the blackguard, knocked him prone, grappled him, and put some manacles on him, the shadow demon left the blackguard's body and tried to possess Chungus. Again, he botched the Charisma save and started to feel compelled to run off the platform to his likely demise. But he used his final Lucky for the day and managed to succeed. For the record, that adventuring day had 7 encounters, including one that happened after he had blown all of his Luck points. [/QUOTE]
