Fortune’s Favorite: In addition to the normal benefits of the personal luck, the character can positively influence random checks being made for them by the GM. This does not include any other character’s biased, direct actions. For example, the character could force the GM to re-check a result wherein a random weather check provided cover for the enemy they are tracking, or if a random check indicated a grenade bounced in their direction. They could not influence an opponent’s attack.
