luck (idea)

In NetHack, a quantitative attribute (a number) that affects certain die rolls and influences the outcome of various game events. You really can't get enough of it, trust me. Luck ranges from -10 to 10.

To increase luck:

• Sacrifice on your altar
• Sit on a throne
• Carry one or two luckstones
• Throw identified gems to co-aligned unicorns

To decrease luck:

• Kill a co-aligned unicorn (-5)
• Sacrifice a human (-5 if not chaotic)
• Sacrifice on your former god's altar after conversion (-5)
• Convert (-3)
• Pray too often (-3)
• Break a mirror (-2)
• Kill a friendly member of your race (-2)
• Kill a pet (-1)
• Kick a co-aligned altar (-1)
• Kill a peaceful monster (-1)
• Try to convert an altar and fail (-1)
• Hit a blind monster (-1, but only rarely)

Luck bonuses or penalties time out after awhile, unless you are carrying one or more luckstones.
