    Default The Lucky Man...

    I have been toying with the Ida of building a lucky character... that is a character with a lot of luck bonuses and luck feats... unfortunately I have hit a time crunch...

    Any Ideas on what a luck based character would look like?

    A Fighter/Paladin will just hack you to bits

    A Wizard/Sorcerer will just blow you up with a spell

    A Rogue/Ranger/Monk will just kill you in your sleep

    A Cleric/Druid will just squash you after buffing himself

    A Bard will slowly twist your ethics, corrupt your morals, and make you do vile acts just for the chance to face him. When you fight him, he will have your family and friends fighting for him. For he wields the deadliest weapon against you and that is, his word against yours.

    In any build, you must have at least one level of cleric, with the luck domain...

    There's a prestige class you may want to look at, called "Fortune's Friend". Alternatively, you could play a Factotum, and refluff his inspiration as luck...

    EDIT: Also, you may want to see the Protected Destiny/Heroic Destiny feats from RoD.

    If arcane, I reccomend Fatespinner. Altering probability is sorta what he does, and even the prereqs sorta fit this concept(Profession: Gambler as an example).

    Cleric(with Luck domain)/Luckstealer is great indeed.

    Depending on how you want your luck to function, the Luck feats and Fortune's Friend PrC may be good. The basic concept is that Fortune's Friend improves your luck feats. Each luck feat allows you to reroll the dice in specific situations, and you may do this a number of times per day equal to the number of luck feats you have. This number is increased by Fortune's Friend levels.
    Give me any character, and I will give you a freeform conversion.

    A Binder that Binds Balam get's to re-roll 1 save, attack or skill check every 5 rounds. 4 rounds if you take the Favored Vestige/Rapid Recovery feats.

    You can bind Balam at 10th level (8th with the Improved Binding feat).

    I think a Lucky guy might make a really funny recurring villain. Not particularly dangerous, but stupidly unkillable. It'd be a fun flavor character if he made his saving throws by tripping and having the Lightning Bolt shoot right over his head. The fighter stabs him and the tip gets stuck in his spellbook. (Maybe that's unlucky...)

    It might be hard to keep up enough interesting explanations for his survival.

    Call him Doctor Lucky as a reference to the cheapass game "Kill Doctor Lucky".
    I take this game with the seriousness it deserves.
    Not all that much. It's a game.
