One to bring Doug some luck - robkelk - 11-06-2007
This one's something of an oddball - it affects Doug indirectly, and the effect can last for hours.
Good Luck Charm
(Sung by Elvis Presley, words & music by Aaron Schroeder & Wally Gold)
Don't want a four leaf clover
Don't want an old horse shoe
Want your kiss cause I just can't miss
With a good luck charm like you
Come on and be my little good luck charm
Uh-huh huh, you sweet delight
I want a good luck charm
A-hanging on my arm
To have, to have, to hold, to hold tonight
Don't want a silver dollar
Rabbit's foot on a string
The happiness in your warm caress
No rabbit's foot can bring
Come on and be my little good luck charm
Uh-huh huh, you sweet delight
I want a good luck charm
A-hanging on my arm
To have, to have, to hold, to hold tonight
If I found a lucky penny
I'd toss it across the bay
Your love is worth all the gold on earth
No wonder that I say
Come on and be my little good luck charm
Uh-huh huh, you sweet delight
I want a good luck charm
A-hanging on my arm
To have, to have, to hold, to hold tonight
When the song is played completely, it targets itself on the closest female sophont. It has no effect on her; rather, as long as she's physically close enough to Doug to touch him, he gets a noticeable "good luck" bonus. (In GURPS, he'd get Luck or Serendipity; in In Nomine, whichever die comes up the highest in any given roll is the CD; and so on.)
The effects last until the female moves more than arm's-length away from Doug, or until sunrise.
(The female doesn't have to be Maggie, or even human - just an intelligent being who considers herself to be female. However, Maggie would probably be the best choice for Doug's "good luck charm;" besides the obvious reason, she's better able than most women to keep up with him in combat... )

It should also push any other lucky charms out to the edge of area effect.
Which if seeded correctly could provide for a bit of fun, and mayhem.

Okay, I like this. Lots of fun to be had.
