Chance (Dark Champions - New Venice)

Luck and misfortune are far too high. (60 pionts worth) In fact the book says "Luck shouldn’t come into play very often — it should be a pleasant surprise for a character, not something he depends on."

So having it Always On defeats the whole purpose, and agian, makes it a pain to GM. (I have bad experience with demanding players and luck, granted it was more the fault of the player more than the power but it leaves a bad taste in my mouth.)

Suggestions?

Try coming up with powers that can simulate what he can do, like Energy blast indirect for random falling objects. Dex drain for stumbling, mind control for a dumb guard buying that dumb story, ect.

Just because you the player can control the effect, does not mean the character does.
