Default Concerning luck

What about luck?

There is two types of luck; individual and scale(province).

Individual luck is a matter of personal attributes, artifacts and spells? Province based luck, on the other hand, is a matter of scales chosen in the beginning? Right?

If former was correct, my main concern is what type of luck affects on what....

Examples and first hand questions:

-Does province/scale luck have effect on voidgate summoning? How about personal luck?

-Does province/scale luck have effect on crossbreeding? How about personal luck?

-Does province/scale luck have effect when horror marked? How about personal luck?

-Does province/scale luck have effect wether or not target is going to be diseased? How about personal luck?

-Does province/scale luck have effect on hiding/getting revealed? How about personal luck?

-Does personal luck stack, or does it have any other cumulative attributes?

-Does curse bring in misfortune in any other occasions than in combat?

If you know anything neat that concrns luck, please let us hear from you. Do not hold your peace forever.

Personal luck only does one thing.

It negates 50% of physical attacks. And I think it helps against a few select damage spells in a similar manner. Other than that, it has no effect.

Dominion Luck scales affect Crossbreeding(more Luck is better stuff summonned). Hidden in Snow also has some Luck-based effect.

"No" to your other questions (though I'm not sure on void gate summoning).

Don't forget that better luck scale gets you the national heroes more easily. That's all I use it for, actually.

I think Luck scale is at least supposed to affect Void Gate, but it's been a long time and I'm not sure any more. It might be that I just wanted Luck to help there.

Only damage spells?

So no help against MR-negating, non-battle spells like Vengeance of the Dead?

Also, does Twist Fate help against non-battle spells like Vengeance of the Dead?

There is also a third component of luck, commanders with the ability to reduce the probability of bad events. Through the forums there are posts of many players who swear by this ability.

That is called "Fortune telling", it's quite powerful and rare, but it's a very different, thing. It helps to lower the bad effects of Misfortune scales

How about internal alchemy, does luck, and which of those, have influence on success?

Don't think so. But alchemists give you more gold if you alchemize fire or earth gems for gold. That's all.
