Rules Questions


The luck blessing
Lucky Presence (minor): At 1st level, you can touch an ally and grant it a lucky presence. The target of this luck can call upon it to roll any one ability check, attack roll, saving throw, or skill check twice and take the better result. The decision to use this ability must be made before the roll is made. Once used, the effect ends.

How long does it last if not used?
Rounds, minutes, hours, days, or til used?


Sounds like it lasts until used, period.

Have fun with that.


If that's true it would be a huge boon to have it up all the time on all party members and pets/Followers/familiars.

Assuming you have enough uses of your Blessing each day.


While a good power, it's only powerful in action economy. Most of the other blessings give stronger effects or work over multiple actions for around a minute.


If it lasts till used it could be put on the day before with whatever blessings you have left and then rest to regain your uses back. That seems pretty powerful to me.

Yes, but it is just one reroll. And as you have to use it before the roll chances are good that it does nothing.

- First roll better than second: No effect
- Both rolls low: No effect
- Both rolls high: No effect
- First roll low, second high: Now you have an effect.


The numeric effect of rolling a second die, choose better is on average ~+3. It's good in a pinch, but it's no guarantee of success.


The usefulness issues aside this is a question about duration. So it lasts til used or forever, whichever comes first?

Yes, it lasts till used.

The discussion about usefulness is just to explain why this isn't really OP. And probably not an error.


Worth noting, I don't think you can stack them. So you can't give it to a creature more than once.

So you can give them 1 each day for 3 days while your resting so they have 3 built up to use. This is because you cannot stack benefits from the same source. In this case, the Luck Blessing is a source.

But otherwise, it would last until used.


I realise that they don't stack. Still i think you would be hard pressed to find someone who wouldn't want this buff up every day.
