Watch for the fall of a card.

Luck is a quality no character can gain or lose, partly for technical reasons.[1] The difficulty of Luck challenges can sometimes be modified by other qualities instead, such as A Little Knifework. Luck challenges may also have rare successes, as sometimes seen when upconverting economy items.
