    Lightbulb The Luckiest Bugger of Them All

    I'm trying to imagineer a very lucky PC. I challenge you, the great people of the boards, to come up with the luckiest PC imaginable, using w/e class/race/feats you see fit.

    I think this would be best if accomplished largely through mundane means (if you're casting spells/using all items to make yourself lucky, it's not so much dumb luck as controlling the odds), but if you come up with an extremely awesome lucky build as a spellcaster, feel free to post it.

    Right now, I'm thinking the best bet would be some sort of halfling rogue or bard, going into the Fortune's Friend PrC, though I'm not at all sold on this (PrC seems kind weak). So, optimize away!

    If you've survived 20 levels in this class, you are the luckiest ba***** in the universe.
    If a cute girl with a red sash and overalls on slips you a note, ignore it, forget it, and sic the police on her.

    You receive ten fail points. You may spend them as you see fit.

    Lucky get ten times a row a 100 on a d100 that gives you the following random magic item:


    Ring of absolute luck.

    Add +5 luck bonus to all your rolls.


    To clear it out, on every roll you make it counts as you rolled 5 more. (this bonus can't let you suppress the max roll of the dice.) so a 15-20 is a sure hitting critical.

    Y'know, Monks probably are more likely to get to level 20 than most... After all, they are pretty good survivalists... and they aren't really threats so they're not likely to be directly targetted by intelligent foes... And they probably have the longest careers, given the no-aging thing...

    Anyway, Luckstealer, Fatespinner, Hexblade and Fortune's Friend are probably going to be the bases of your build, Maybe with a dip into Cleric (Luck Domain). Swashbuckler has some stuff too, but it takes too long to be practical. Maybe sneak Aura of Chaos in as well.

    Taking all the luck feats isn't actually that bad if your class is on the more powerful side of the spectrum. Fatespinner and Fortune's Friend aren't all that bad, as long as you avoid a: total sucking and b: cheese.

    I am currently playing a halfling warlock/luckstealer( i know you can't do that but the dm reworked a bit of it and said its fine. And it makes sense from a RP perspective) I took the luck invocation that adds to a save and the pre req feat for luckstealer that gives a bonus to a save when you really need it. The guy seems to be working out pretty.....lucky. The stolen luck that can be added to pretty much any roll helps that a lot.
