What does this do. Im playing BG1, and have absolutely no clue to what this does. i remember asking this before, but IIRC, didnt get an answer.

It raises luck and morale within the party.

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?

Luck decreases attack rolls and damge caused by enemies.

[/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.
