Another dump stat, historically, was Luck. In the original CP2020 system, it was very limited in use, and it didn't seem to really reflect a character possessing any inherent "luckiness." Each point in the luck stat gives the PC a "luck point" that can be used as follows:

·Two luck points can be burned to re-roll any roll. Often used to counter fumbles, it can also be used to re-roll failed stun or death saves or hit locations that directly affect your character.
·Luck can be burned after an unsuccessful roll is made to turn it into a success. One luck point=+2 to the roll. (I got this one from the Star Trek game, and rather liked it.)
·Luck is also the base stat upon which graze rolls (see below) are made. Unlucky characters will take full damage far more often.
