Rule Summary
The optional and standard rules for spending Luck points to alter dice rolls.
Quick Reference Check:
1 Luck per 1 point deducted. Cannot spend on Luck rolls, Sanity, Damage, Pushed rolls, or Fumbles.
### Spending Luck
Investigators may spend points from their current **Luck** pool on a 1-for-1 basis to adjust a failed roll to a success:
- Example: An investigator rolls a 45 on a skill of 40. They can spend **5 Luck points** to reduce the roll to 40 (Regular Success).
- You can spend Luck to upgrade to Hard or Extreme success by paying the required difference.
### Restrictions
- Luck **cannot** be spent on Luck rolls.
- Luck **cannot** be spent on Combat damage rolls.
- Luck **cannot** be spent on Sanity rolls.
- Luck **cannot** be spent on Pushed rolls.
- A roll of 100 (or 96–100 fumble) **cannot** be modified with Luck.
### Regaining Luck
At the end of each scenario or substantial chapter, the Keeper can grant a **Luck Improvement Check**: roll 1d100; if the roll is > current Luck, gain 1d10 Luck points.
