Archaeologist's Luck


Rules Questions


I thought I knew how this worked but I saw a different interpretation on a character sheet that I am using.

Archaeologist's Luck (Ex): Fortune favors the archaeologist. As a swift action, an archaeologist can call on fortune's favor, giving him a +1 luck bonus on attack rolls, saving throws, skill checks, and weapon damage rolls. He can use this ability for a number of rounds per day equal to 4 + his Charisma modifier. Maintaining this bonus is a free action, but it ends immediately if the archaeologist is killed, paralyzed, stunned, knocked unconscious, or otherwise prevented from taking a free action to maintain it each round. Archaeologist's luck is treated as bardic performance for the purposes of feats, abilities, effects, and the like that affect bardic performance. Like bardic performance, it cannot be maintained at the same time as other performance abilities. This bonus increases to +2 at 5th level, +3 at 11th level, and +4 at 17th level.

So do you get the bonus to all your attack rolls, saving throws, skill checks, and weapon damage rolls while the luck is in effect or do you get one bonus to one roll?


You get the bonus to all of those rolls for as long as the ability is active, not just one roll.


You get all of them. If it was limited to a single type, they would've mentioned that like they do in other abilities.


Good, I thought that was the case but a character sheet that I am using said it was only for one roll per use.

It's the same as Inspire Courage, except it's on yourself only.

It's not the same as IC...

Woops, you're right.


It's like IC. It adds to the same things and follows the same bonus progression, plus adds to some more stuff in return for being self-only.

And yes, it's to all rolls of those types, while it is active.

It's also amazing.

It belongs in a museum!
