If someone is being lucky, then someone else is being unlucky. I'd have
thought most likely effects would be felt by kin/companions, as they are
much more closely connected. So the conversation goes "Ah, Tom, you
want a +8 augment to that because you're lucky. Fair enough. Dick and
Harry, your Tom's companions you are both at -4 to your next important
roll, other than 'Beat Eurmali with stick', of course"
Alternatively, I had an NPC called Lucky Swen. He was lucky all right.
Always great good luck, or great bad luck, nothing in between.
Remember, if players seem to be pulling a fast one you should still say
yes, just review the normal guidance to GM's on granting wishes and
modify as appropriate.
