what does luck excatly do? does like improve the chance of getting critical hits(now that i think of it, i got a few criticals during the fight with the ogrillons), chance of thieving skills working and scribing scrolls with spellcasters?

</font>[/QUOTE]The Infinity Engine "luck" mechanism is bizzare, if not just plain stupid. It is there - but has not supporting evidences in the Record screen nor the "To Hit Rolls" line.

For example - luck adds 5% to your thieving skills - but it's not displayed anywhere. On the same note, fatigue - which is the inverse of luck in BG2 - will *decrease* your thieving skills by 5%, and will also not be displayed.

I assume the same logic also applies to saving throws, hit rolls and armor class - but from past experiences, any attempt to prove it is doomed to failure.
