  • Beginner's Luck
rdfs:comment
  • Beginner's Luck is a heroic tier feat. Prerequisite: Sorcerer, Wild Magic class feature Benefit: Before making an untrained skill check, choose even numbers or odd numbers. If the result of the d20 roll for that skill check matches the kind of number selected, you gain a feat bonus to that skill check equal to your Charisma modifier.[Dr385:47]
  • Sure, the Big Bad has slaughtered thousands of experienced soldiers and dozens of truly ace opponents, or perhaps has already taken over planets. That Rebel Alliance has no chance, and the Galactic Senate -- doomed. If you see a plucky kid who's never used your weapon of choice before, however, it's time to turn tail and run. Compare with Falling Into the Cockpit and Readings Are Off the Scale, although Beginner's Luck applies to a person rather than a machine. Examples of Beginner's Luck include:
  • Beginner's Luck refers to a sliding hit chance increase for low-level characters that was added as part of Issue 12. Under Beginner's Luck, characters at Combat Level 1 have a base 90% chance to hit equal-level PvE enemies. This chance steadily decreases as the character gains levels and eventually reaches a steady 75% from Combat Level 20 onward. Prior to I12, the base chance for players to hit equal-level enemies was 75% at all levels. Beginner's Luck does not apply to pets or pseudopets. It only helps attacks coming directly from the character.

  • Sure, the Big Bad has slaughtered thousands of experienced soldiers and dozens of truly ace opponents, or perhaps has already taken over planets. That Rebel Alliance has no chance, and the Galactic Senate -- doomed. If you see a plucky kid who's never used your weapon of choice before, however, it's time to turn tail and run. Plucky kids seem to have some innate link to Destiny, since they always seem to end up with the one power necessary to rule them all. Even worse, they tend to be savants at that thing, even when individuals around them have trained and worked for years only to be bested by a plucky kid within a few minutes.
