Discussion of the mysterious luck stat has me wondering if the following things affect this little-understood facet of the game:
Race
Class
Cabal

Also, does the luck stat affect any of the following things:
Skill learning speed
Fleeing successfully
Teleporting into aggro mobs
Escaping quicksand

I think that part of the problem is separating a player's luck vs. a character's luck.

Thanks for any clarifications.

None of the above.

Here's the full list:

1) It has a small effect on saves (to give you some idea, INT and WIS each have as big or greater effect).

2) Various combat skills where you see some kind of 'critical success' echo, generally with 'luck' somewhere in it. Pincer, charge, etc.

3) Gambling.

But I don't think it's related to the instakill chance

Have you ever seen a 'lucky assassinate' echo?

Then no.

Guess it would be cleave only under those circumstances. Lucky edge a must have for APs now!

Just because I know I've seen this asked and answered repeatedly, I give you the official Wiki!

Now anyone can answer the luck question, and have the full backing of Daevryn-level certainty!

(I did add two more combat-luck skills I'm pretty certain are affected in their minor way)

You've mentioned before that not maxing your int/wis isn't a very good strategy because it'll mess up your saves. At the risk of nitpicking, when you say "as big" it sounds like the effect of luck is equally important as significant as at least one of int or wis. That would make luck fairly important.

Or do you mean something like:
In most cases, int and wis have a much greater effect than luck
In a few cases, int and wis and luck all have an equally tiny effect

Just trying to be clear, since people love to exaggerate the impact of luck.

Luck can potentially be as big as Int or Wis; that being said, the spread of PC luck stats is much smaller than the spread of PC Int or Wis stats.

...the races that tended to have the poorer attributes. They didn't clarify what that meant though.
