Luck is the property of a player character that affects many events involving chance. There are many ways to change your luck, to become either more or less lucky. http://www.steelypips.org/nethack/343/gems-343.html#luck
Luck has a part in:
- finding hidden doors and traps
- receiving a favorable response from prayer (and range of possible favors: http://www.steelypips.org/nethack/pray.html#p4)
- getting certain outcomes from sitting on thrones
- getting certain outcomes from quaffing from sinks and fountains
- success of blessed identify scrolls
- More: http://www.nethack.de/spoiler/luck.shtml
Luckstones are items whose sole purpose is to modify the behavior of the player character's luck.
Common ways to lose luck (and thereby your ability to pray safely)
- -2 for breaking a mirror. Be circumspect when zapping those who carry them.
- -1 for each instance of cheating in Sokoban. One typo may quickly mushroom into a full-blown luck-screwing.
Decreasing luck is actually helpful to characters who may not wish to be crowned or receive spellbooks.
- This page is a stub. You could probably expand this page should you wish to do so.
