[QUOTE="Hyper-Man, post: 6263562, member: 6772590"] I have seen it used in many forms. In the HERO System it is a straightforward purchasable ability. [LIST] [*]"Luck" can be purchased at 1d6 per 5 points. [*]There are multiple optional rules about how and what it can be used for during an adventure. [*]"Unluck" can also be taken as a Disadvantage/Complication for the same point value and negative version of the mechanic used for "Luck". [*]Some characters have neither, one, the other or both (which can end up being crazy!). [/LIST] In the Amber Diceless RPG, another point buy system, it is referred to as "Good Stuff" and "Bad Stuff". [LIST] [*]Unlike HERO it applies to virtually all characters at some time or another. [*]At character creation Bad Stuff can be taken to get more points for other abilities. [*]When a character earns experience the unspent XP banks as "Good Stuff" until allocated to a permanent ability. [*]The GM is in complete control of what either does during an adventure.
