Number of Luck traits	Cost	Notes
None	0 GP	This is the norm, both among ordinary characters and among high-GP characters. In a realistic world, having a Luck trait is the exception.
One Luck trait	2 GP	Pick any one luck trait
Two Luck traits	5 GP	(the 2nd Luck trait costs 3 GP - often not worth it)
Three Luck traits	10 GP	(the 3rd Luck trait costs 5 GP - rarely worth it)
Four Luck traits	25 GP	More than four Luck traits is never appropriate even in high-GP campaigns

Trait	Effect	Double up	Cooldown	Notes
Miracle	1/life	3/life	1 Moon	A Miracle is an extreme coincidence, anything that does not violate actual physics, e.g. 5 coins can all land on the edge when tossed, even if the probability is one in a billion billions. Remember it's a once-in-a-lifetime (or at the most thrice-in-a-lifetime) thing. It's okay if everyone still talks about it decades after - even if the character is declared a saint. It's okay if the Mythbusters devote several full length episode to attempts to reproduce the event. That's why this ability is called Miracle!
Minor Coincidence	1/Week	2/Week	1 Day	This is a minor coincidence (very low implausibility), much less important than a major one, but still neat for the character. (It must benefit the character or his party directly.)
Major Coincidence	1/Moon	2/Moon	4 Days	This is a major coincidence (medium implausibility), certainly far from a miracle, but still significant and impactful. (It must benefit the character or his party directly.)
Reroll	2/Week	5/Week	4 Hours	One roll directly pertinent to the character can be re-rolled (Skill, Attribute, sub-Attribute, Derived Stat roll made by the character, or any damage roll done by or to the character). The result of the new roll must then be accepted. Or counting as 4 uses (for double-up only) make a re-roll but only use it if is it better than the original roll.

Trait	Effect	Double up	Cooldown	Notes
Jinx Foe	2/Moon	5/Moon	2 Days	This is a medium coincidence (low implausibility) that negatively affects an enemy or rival of the character. It chttp://www.sagataflwiki.net/index.php?title=Temp_luck_traits&action=editannot be lethal, or overly blatant, but should inconvenience and slow down the foe or rival - or embarrass him!
Lucky Pockets	4p/Moon	10p/Moon	4 Days	Base usage cost is 1 points for a small and very cheap item plausibly carried by the character, +1p for larger item, +1p for cheap item, +2p or more for non-cheap, +1p to +4p for an increasingly implausible item. Elite Effect: Increase points-per-Moon by 50% if the character has Scrounging skill 8-9 and reduce Cooldown to 3 Days, or double points and reduce CD to 2 Days for Scrounging skill 10+. The player decides whether to use the ability after the GM has told him the point cost of the suggested use. If the character is frisked, strip-searched or similar, or put in a prison cell, he temporarily loses the use of this Luck trait.
Aspected Luck (broad)	2/Moon	5/Moon	1 Day	Some medium (low implausibility) coincidences per Moon, pertinent to a broadly interpretable "field of fortune", e.g. luck-with-women, looting luck, combat luck.
Aspected Luck (narrow)	2/Week	5/Week	4 Hours	Some medium coincidences per Week, pertinent to a more narrowly interrpretable "field of fortune". As always, unspent coincidences are lost. Examples: romantic luck, fishing luck, avoiding being assassinated-luck.
