May I segue into another question from here?

Would an item that provides an ongoing, albeit circumstantial luck bonus negate the pugwampi aura? Examples would be Cloak of Arachnida (luck bonus on fort saves vs poison) or Amulet of Bullet Protection (luck bonus to AC vs firearms)?

Thank you for your time~

The duration is "1 day/level or until discharged". The discharged part made me think that the bonus is ongoing until after you make a craft check.

That being said I have a hard time arguing against Lurk3r's reasoning. This is kind of confusing for me so I really appreciate you guys helping me think on it X_X

Hi everyone~ first time posting and I'm looking for an official ruling on this since I'm a little confuzzled by it @_@

Unluck Aura (Su) A pugwampi radiates an aura of unluck to a radius of 20 feet. Any creature in this area must roll two d20s whenever a situation calls for a d20 roll (such as an attack roll, a skill check, or a saving throw) and must use the lower of the two results generated. This is a mind-affecting effect that does not work on animals, other gremlins, or gnolls. Any character who gains any sort of luck bonus (such as that granted by a luckstone or divine favor) is immune to the pugwampi unluck aura.

Crafter’s Fortune

School transmutation; Level alchemist 1, sorcerer/wizard 1
Casting Time 1 standard action
Component V, S, F (a tool)
Range close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Target one creature
Duration 1 day/level or until discharged (D)
Saving Throw Will negates (harmless); Spell Resistance yes (harmless)

The target is struck by inspiration and gains a +5 luck bonus on its next Craft skill check.

Basically the question is can you use Crafter's Fortune to gain immunity to the pugwampi aura as long as you don't make a craft check? What's unclear is does the luck bonus from Crafter's Fortune "trigger" at the time you make the craft check, or is it in place until you make a craft check?

Thanks in advance for a response! Kisses xoxoxo
