Alternate use of Luck attribute

[DunnyOfPenwick]

Luck, as implemented in the base game, is basically just agility with a different name.
It increases chance to hit and decreases chance to be hit, by the same amount as agility.
Various mods have added additional uses for the stat.

If you look at combat mechanics, various factors (including luck) are added in to determine the base to-hit chance.
Before making the hit check, that value is clamped between 3 and 97, giving a 3% chance of automatic success and a 3% chance of automatic failure. This type of mechanism is pretty common.

I'm thinking the Luck stat should be used to determine the clamping values. A char with 100 luck might have a 10% chance of automatic success and a 0% chance of automatic failure. A low luck char would obviously be reversed.

I've used Luck in various different ways in most of my mods, and yeah, something like you mentioned probably wouldn't be the worst way to use it for combat rolls at the least.

If it only has a 3% chance of success, that's a bit low. But 10% is not much more. If only it could increase further.

I personally like random events tied to how lucky / unlucky a PC is, like in the Fallout series. It's the most entertaining application of luck and you immediately know when it takes effect. EX: You're given an option to pet a mangey dog. With good luck the dog leads you to a sack of gold, and with bad luck the dog turns into a werewolf
