Luck Traits can be noticed and discussed in-character, although of course certainty should be avoided - in-world luck is a mysterious and poorly understood trait even if it can be very clear that some have more than others, and that those who are lucky often have diferently "flavoured" Luck. The two "taxes" are strictly to do with the game-mechanical character creation process.

Creating the temp page

New page

This article is for temporary stuff that pertains to the 4th or "Special" GP category.

== Overview ==
This is an overview of all the things that 4th category GPs can be spent on:
* "Tax" for no Flaws (3 GP, plus some DPs), or for having Flaws totalling only 1 Flaw Point (1 GP, plus some DPs).
* "Tax" for a [[Species Package]] with a very high (obscene, or multiple GPs for very obscene) [[UMF]].
* Luck traits (GP cost are currently dependent on the Faith attribute, but an alternative system might be proposed, where Luck Points are derived from the Faith value).
* Increased [[Profstat]] (below-average Profstat is a DisAdvantage and thus compensated for in DPs).
* Increased [[Omniskill]] Threshold.
* Veteran Points (characters may also get a very few Veteran Points from being old, but GPs give many more).
