[QUOTE="Li Shenron, post: 7434317, member: 1465"] Yes that was the RAW problem. Page 173 talks about rerolling a die, but Lucky makes you roll an additional die. I agree that the sentence in Lucky that says "die" increases ambiguity. In fact, I just think that the designers weren't thinking of disadvantage when they wrote the feat. It just didn't come to their m[I][/I]ind. But also note that IIRC the sentence "[I]You can choose to spend one of your luck points after you roll the die, but before the outcome is determined.[/I]" wasn't in the playtest, it wad added only in the PHB. So this means that the Lucky feat was certainly scrutinized, and possibly given playtester feedback. How did thousands of playtesters not think about the mess with disadvantage, remains a mystery to me. WotC doesn't want to make rules revision, but they say they still use errata for clarification. Lucky certainly deserves at least the latter. [/QUOTE]
