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.
