Default Stacking Luck

Guys,

If I have a mage with a lucky coin and I script Personal Luck in his orders, does he get:

a) 100% luck?
b) Two 50% luck attempts per attack on him?
c) 75% luck (ie. 50% plus 50% of 50% remaining)?
d) Or has he just wasted one of them?
e) Something else?

Merry Christmas!

Steve

AFAIK, He won't cast personal luck at all. He will choose a different spell, or whatever is next in his list of orders.

If he already has luck from other source he won't cast Personal Luck at all.

Since no-one else is willing to answer your simple question, I will.

Luck doesn't stack and in fact with the shield granting it he won't even cast Personal Luck at all!

I would even say more: luck does not stack and he wont cast it if he has it already.

He's clearly a new player, it's counterproductive to cloud the issue with veteran's slang.

The fact of the matter is that you can't cast luck when luck has already been granted and even if you could, it wouldn't do anything.

I'm a bit surprised by those answers.
I was fairly convinced that he wouldn't cast it he already had luck.
...
Was I wrong?
