Hey! This isn't a fully fleshed out idea so suggestions and critique is much appreciated! Luck Stat I was thinking about adding a stat to wolf stats called "luck." Here's some notes on it! - Luck has a small chance to change the outcome of certain activities, such as hunting, scouting and exploring. - Luck is always the last stat to roll. If your wolves fail to bring down their prey in a hunt due to insufficient stats, the lead wolf's luck stat can roll to see if they manage to catch it last minute. - Similarly, during exploring if you trigger an event that usually leads to either getting an item/carcass or getting nothing (for example, the Blue Jay Feather encounter) a wolf with a higher luck stat may have a slightly better chance of coming away with the item. Luck may also affect battles, in that a higher luck wolf might have a slightly higher chance of causing effects like bleeding. - For scouting a wolf with higher luck might have a small chance of discovering slightly more about the area than normal, or have a small chance at bringing something back. - You cannot level up luck. Whatever luck stat a wolf is born with, it has for the rest of it's life. - You cannot breed for luck. Unlike with other stats, breeding two high luck wolves together doesn't affect the luck stat of the puppies. Luck is assigned randomly at birth/befriending. - I imagine luck working differently to other stats in that the numbers are much lower (say maybe 1 to 5). A wolf with 1 luck isn't "unlucky", it just doesn't get any boosts. A wolf with 5 luck may be lucky, but luck is still the last stat to roll, and only provides a small boost. I think giving it a cap is good as you can't then breed wolves with insane luck boosts. If anything, I'd like to see luck as a VERY small quality of life boost, not something that majorly affects the game. Getting a lucky wolf should be seen as a small perk rather than something that can be sold for insane GB or something that puts others at a major disadvantage. The way I see it being used is similar to other stats: perhaps you'd rather assign one of your luckier wolves to be a hunter/scout, or maybe it's an added bonus if the wolf you want to be your next lead wolf happens to have a good luck stat for exploring. The boost can be something as little as 5% max, nothing that's actively sought after, but just a nice perk. |

There could be an item during events to level it up. Like increase +1 and they are very rare? But I wouldn't want it to level up normally. |
