And sure, in real life there is no such thing as luck, just random chance. But if luck is an actual thing, that you can have more of or less of, then yes, it does apply to everything. I already mentioned the Ringworld books, where luck is definitely a thing, and aliens created a birth lottery in order to bread the luckiest humans possible, ending up with someone who is almost invincible. Try to shoot them and your weapon jams. Try to punch them and you slip on a banana skin and fall.It's worth noting that some RPGs have a <a href="https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/LuckStat" target="_blank">Luck stat</a>. Kirk had a super-high one in FASA Star Trek RPG.Back when I was playing the Golden Heroes RPG in the 1980s one of the PCs had Unconscious Probability Manipulation, which was almost certainly the strongest superpower in the game.</blockquote>
