    Need help with the feat "Luck of Heroes"

    Just wondering if anyone knows / has tested this. AC bonuses are far and few, and this seems far too easy if you ask me. This feat offers a +1 Bonus to all saving throws AND a +1 Luck bonus. Firstly, what is a luck bonus? from other searches i can find it in relation to Dodge, which implies being caught flat footed would lose it. To me, the definition "Luck" is something supernatural or not dcontrolled by the acts or will of a person, but guides fortunate things to happen to them or unfortunate things to not choose them.

    If luck was lost when you were off guard or off balance, that would imply that luck is a Supernatural thing that guides your movements better. To me, that's not what luck is, That's freaking leveling and Experience!

    My real question (beyond the Philosophical and Metaphysical) about the Luck Bonus is, is it Actually increasing your AC from attacks, ranged attacks, both? Does is stack with Dodge, is it treated as Natural AC that doesn't stack or is it its own bonus type that doesn't need to stack with others?

    I don't even know if luck does anything at all. It used to be glitched and do nothing.

      As far as I have been able to determine, it is an ever-present +1 to AC. Rather like having a base AC of 11 instead of 10.

          It is, in fact, an ever-present plus one to the base armor class of the character in Neverwinter Nights 2. It is assumed that the luck bonus is something akin to a morale bonus (or any other miscellaneous bonus), thus stacks with other types of bonuses and is never lost or negated. It works on all forms of attacks (ranged, melee, and touch), making it one of the most often used (and useful) background feat to take for a character.

          The actual feat 'Luck of Heroes' in the FR Campaign Guide only offers a +1 luck bonus to all saving throws. It also is avaliable only to characters originating from Aglarond, the Dalelands, Tethyr, and the Vast.
