Here are the following Pros & Cons of each race from what I can gather. I'm using the standard ability score array.   I think I'll be aiming to get the Lucky feat, Resilient (Constitution), and a full Intelligence of 20.   Variant Human +1 Intelligence and +1 Constitution Pros Starts at Level 1 with 3 Lucky dice Needs two Ability Score features to get to Intelligence 20 Has two available Feats/Ability Score Increases Cons None?   Stout Halfling Pros Starts at Level 1 with Lucky racial trait Has a +1 Initiative, Armor Class, and Dexterity Saving Throw Resistance to Fear and Poison Small? Cons Needs three Ability Score Features to get to Intelligence 20   Looking at this, it looks like Stout Halflings really struggle unless the Lucky racial trait is worth a lot. So I guess the essential question is how much is the Lucky racial trait worth?

I kind of see a bit of bard in there too, using bardic inspiration to help simulate happy-go-lucky-whistling-guy. So far for my wife whos playing a halfling monk, Lucky has saved her life more than once.
#10 Timborama Oct 21, 2014 12:07:11	Lucky McLuckerton is best made, in my opinion, as a Halfling who gets Lucky at level 4, and not a level 1 variant Human with Lucky at level 1 (you can't take the "Halfling" feat at level 4 )   Not to say that either CAN'T work, but if you wanna go for the EXTREME luck, it'd be Halfling+Lucky, Especially since levels 1-3 just kinda zoom on by...

I believe luck could be applied to the Sorcerer's Wild Magic surges and frankly, a person who relies on luck is generally not as intelligent as I imagine most wizards to be. It sounds more like someone who relies on a little bit of charm and a whole lot of luck.

#18 Corran21 Oct 21, 2014 15:00:46	I buy the wild sorcerer concept. With this class and origin, you have a chance at some very very lucky outcomes during actual play, just convince your DM to apply the Luck feat on the rolls on the wild table for the sake of the fun of it.
