    Default Beloved of Lady Luck [3.5]

    Is it possible to make a character who gets along entirely by relying on their luck? Fortuitous accidents seem to happen around them, they happen to stumble at just the right moment that an arrow misses them, and so on. How many luck-themed things is it possible to stack on one character, and can you get enough to get that flavour?

    Of the top of my head:
    Halfling
    Luck domain
    Fatespinner
    Fortune's Friend

    Optimization challenge - a character that can reroll any roll ever at least once. That would be a "master of luck."

    Be a Cleric of Lady Luck, pick the Luck and the other 1 with a reroll anything ability, and focus on Luck Feats

    Would that even work? I mean, she withdraws her favor from anyone who is aware they have it.

    Which is why you're a Favored Soul instead of a Cleric. You don't even get Know: Religion as a class skill.

    with the prcs i belive going arcane would be better. grabbing the arcane domain thing at 5th.(ACF) Grabbing luck domain.


    Theres the halfling prc from races of wild (luckstealer)

    5 wizard/luckstealer/fatespinner/mabye if you can fit in some luckfriend or what ever it is from c. Scoundrel you would be good.
    When the end comes i shall remember you.

    I sorry i fail Englimish...(appologise for Spelling/Grammer Errors) Please don't correct my spelling or grammer eaither.

    Halfling is a good choice (and it's a pity that halfling paragon is so meh, because it fits the concept perfectly). However, there are also the human/half-human only "destiny" feats from RoD to consider visavis re-rolls. And if you went half-elf, you could also get that feat they have that allows them to reroll diplomacy and gather info checks.

    How about the Auspician PrC from FR Faiths and Pantheons...3.0 but it is dead on for this idea and a fun class to play.

    Favored Souls don't know the source of their power. Hell, they don't even have K: Religion in class! Now, Cleric wouldn't work but FS is just fine and specifically the kinda thing she'd do.

    Does that mean that when Rincewind hits level 17 he'll grow wings?

    Heh, he'd have to hit level zero first.

    Hey, Rincewind probably has several levels of expert to speak all his languages and gain the Run, Dash and improved Initiative feats.
