But I'm guessing that lucky has one of those damn "after you roll the die, but before the outcome is determined," clauses. Personally I tend to ignore that. I don't mind the idea of declaring your reroll before the results are given, but for me it just isn't feasible.let us say my lucky player rolls a 5, and I know he has a +7, and I know that 5 + 7 is nowhere near the 20 he needs. I do this quick calculation practically instantaneously, and simply announce the roll as a failure. "Wait!" the player cries, "I was going to use lucky!" By RAW, I just screwed him out of his ability. Or maybe I don't jump the gun, maybe I let the player do his own math. "12" he announces glumly. I reply that he missed. "Wait! I was still thinking whether it would be worth using a luck point!" Damn I did it again. For me, have to take the extra step of asking the player whether he wants to use a luck point every time he rolls or I roll against him adds a completely unnecessary step that over the the course of an entire session or campain adds up to a lot of wasted time. Besides I've never noticed any imbalance in letting them roll after the the result has been announced.</blockquote>
