I want all the luck.


Advice


Hey all,

So I have a warpriest with Fate's favored as a trait.

Quote:

Fate's Favored

The fates watch over you.

Benefit: Whenever you are under the effect of a luck bonus of any kind, that bonus increases by 1.

I make good use of Divine favor, and plan to pick up the hat of the fortunate soldier some day.

But what else gives a luck bonus? anything is helpful.

Thanks a lot.


Being half-orc with Sacred Tattoo.

Be a halfling?

The luckstone is nice, if a bit pricey. ^_^


Prayer.

A stone of good luck.


Luckstone+Divine Favor+Jinsaga covers practically everything you care about.


Dip a level of Sczarni Swindler rogue.

A Headband of Fortune's Favor is nice, but takes your headband of wisdom slot.

Halflings give a racial bonus, not a luck bonus.

From their initial racial ability, yes, but:

Halfling Alternate Racial Trait - Adaptable Luck wrote:
Some halflings have greater control over their innate luck. This ability gives them more options for how they can apply their good fortune from day to day, but also narrows its scope. Three times per day, a halfling can gain a +2 luck bonus on an ability check, attack roll, saving throw, or skill check. If halflings choose to use the ability before they make the roll or check, they gain the full +2 bonus; if they choose to do so afterward, they only gain a +1 bonus. Using adaptive luck in this way is not an action. This racial trait replaces halfling luck.


Have a halfling cohort with Cautious Fighter and Blundering Defense walk behind you everywhere you go. Give him three ranks in Acrobatics and Crane Style, and tell him to go total defense at the first sign of trouble.

His dodge bonus to AC: +8
Total Defense: +4
Cautious Fighter: +2
Crane Style: +1
3 ranks in Acrobatics: +1

Your luck bonus to AC (from Blundering Defense): +4

3 Ranks in acrobatics gives +2 to Total defense by the by, but +1 to defensive fighting.

Unfortunately (pun intended), neither of these stack with one another or with the half-orc sacred tattoo.

Shame, my half-orc oracle with fate's favoured and sacred tattoo would have enjoyed that...

The O.P. didn't say he was playing a half-orc. This is one of the ways to get that luck bonus to saving throws without going half-orc.

Yes, I know. However, since I am playing a half-orc, I'd like to know about any further luck bonuses anyone might come up with.

And, occasionally, pointing out what stacks/doesn't stack can be useful.

Grand Lodge

Agreed! I actually learned about a new item in this thread for my kitsune archaeologist bard. The Lucky Drunk Mail won't work for me, as it is medium armor (why couldn't it have been a chain shirt?) but the headband... oh that might be worth it!


Thanks for all the ideas guys!!

For the curious the character is for PFS and is an Oread, so sadly no halfling or half orc fun for me.

Thanks again for the advice.


I'm really surprised no one said Jingasa of the Fortunate Soldier. Cheap, awesome, extra AC.

Grand Lodge

Jingasa was mentioned in the first post, just not under its full name.


Stone of Good Luck ?

Luck Blade ?

A Halfling in the party having the Blundering Defense feat?

Oh, and someone else performing a Harrowing spell on you after a card reading...

And Lucky Number , if your number is High and you roll it and it's better to add +2, is now +3...

(Note to Gilarius, get Appolonius to cast it on you when he gets more slots)
