+5 is still probably pretty weak. I can't see many builds that would justify a +5 instead of a feat that can grant them amazing abilities. If we were lowering the bonus, I'd add them as potential bonus feats for a few classes like Fighter, Scout, spell-less Ranger/Paladin (AFB right now but I'm pretty sure these last 2 get bonus feats)

Its biggest sin to me is that it's boring. Even the lame single-save feats are better in this respect, because at least they make a statement about what you're shoring up or where your strengths lie. (That's not a big improvement, mind, and they're still garbage.)

Thinking on how to improve it, I would actually go in a...tangential direction. Remember the Luck Feates from Complete Scoundrel? Most of them gave a reroll for various reasons, and a luck point. You almost always had to spend a luck point for the reroll, but your luck points were fungible so you could use any of the reroll mechanisms at your disposal, paid for by luck points from any source.

I suggest making this broader, but cost a luck point to use.

Lucky Break
You sometimes have near-failures turn into successes due to random lucky happenstance.
Benefit: You can a luck point. Any time you're rolling a d20, you may spend a luck point after seeing the result to add a +2 luck bonus to the roll, as something goes just right at the last second.
Agree that it's boring, but sometimes boring is okay. Especially if you have dumb players who can't remember their abilities and just want big numbers.

Question: Do you have to spend your Immediate or Swift action just like every other Luck feat (Lucky Start being the exception)
