[QUOTE="Thank Dog, post: 6407778, member: 6780250"] Lucky is problematic and one of the few rules in the game that I'm genuinely struggling to understand simply due to the wording. On the one hand it could be read that if you wish to spend a luck point, you can roll a second d20 and if you like the new roll, you can spend the luck point and use it, or not spend the luck point and use the original roll. On the other hand it could be read that if you want to roll a second d20 at all, that you have to spend the luck point and then decide which roll to use. The first interpretation is open to abuse as it essentially means you could roll 2d20 for everything and only spend a luck point when your designated "primary" d20 is undesirable. The second interpretation, however, makes it only slightly better than Inspiration since you control when you have it and don't which is a bit weak for the price of a feat. [/QUOTE]
