Supernarural luck question

[Rolgoat]

to be declared lucky by a few people and accordingly whether having one feat is enough for Supernatural luck?

 

[Everything12]

Nope, you going to need feats to back up those comments except for very specific circumstances.

 

[Rolgoat]

What kind of success and do you need one or more successes?

A good example would be domino from Deadpool or the dude from Donald Duck.

The situation in my mind is as follows: The character performs a lucky success for once in the series and receives praise from those around him, but he will not talk about this issue again in the future. Is this enough for Supernatural luck?

Nah not even close. He would need stuff like every coin landing where he wants it to, every gun aimed at him to jam. People not even able to hit him due to luck. That kind of stuff.

Supernatural luck in Luffy's profile was given even though he didn't do a very good skill, so I was wondering.

 

[Serlock_Holmes]

I don't really know about that to be honest.

 

[Rolgoat]

I understand, but thank you for your answer.

Some people just have good things happen to them without that being a superpower. If someone in real life wins a lottery jackpot and receives lots of congratulations as a result, it would be a leap in logic to conclude that they have the supernatural ability for probability to be bended in their favor. The same applies to fiction. For a character to be considered as having supernatural luck, it would need to be more than just them having something very lucky happen to them.

Examples of what I think would qualify as a character having supernatural luck:

• A character outright being stated to have supernatural luck, passive probability manipulation and/or being fated to have good fortune.
• A character causes outstanding domino effects that lead to certain outcomes very relevant to a character's endeavors, on multiple occasions, with no one having prepared these events in advance.
• A character consistently being able to use their luck as an important resource in important strategizing. The character uses a supernatural ability to their advantage.
• A character being portrayed as always having extreme "luck", regardless of if it's positive or negative, leading to events that wouldn't ever happen to a person in real life even if the person incidentally was very lucky in a natural way, and demonstrably making the character's life and/or capabilities different than that of any real person.
• Other justifications that you'd need to use your analytical judgement for, case-by-case. For example, maybe a story has subtle four-leaf clover symbolism that implies that a character has supernatural luck, but the story doesn't clearly explore the idea.

Beware of succumbing to falsehoods. For example, don't immediately use the evidence of lightning striking the same place multiple times as a basis for justifying considering a character as having supernatural luck. The notion that "lightning doesn't strike the same place twice" was figurative language created by humans, and this is not a true rule of nature. Lightning usually strikes what it can reach the easiest and lightning can be influenced by other factors like other electricity can.

However, if a character has further context of legitimately having supernatural luck, and it's related to a falsehood, then don't be reluctant to use it as a justification. For example, although lightning striking the same place multiple times isn't inherently supernatural, maybe a toon force user got struck by lightning many times directly after claiming that lightning doesn't strike the same place twice; the gag was that a very unlikely event that they thought was impossible happened because they claimed that it was impossible, so the audience can be entertained by the mishap, indicating that the character has supernatural luck. This is also an example of a character having supernatural luck without proving that it's consistent, and likewise, it's not as useful as a lot of other examples you could find.
