RE: PCS/NPCS AND LADY LUCK

In Champions, you could buy up to three dice worth of Luck.  When a
drastic  unfortunate event happened (you've been knocked off a high
building and are about to splat on the sidewalk), you roll the dice, and
for every 6 you can change the situation.  One point might be that you
land in a garbage truck and are knocked cold, but live; three points
might result in your discovering that just over the edge of the building
was a flagpole, scaffold, passing blimp, etc, and you're ready for
action as soon as you can get back to the fight.

Of course, if you took an advantage like Luck, you also had to have a
disadvantage.  And you could also buy Unluck.
