LUCK Stat - Is The Sticky Correct or the RPGM3 Manual?

[Piccollo]

In the sticky on stats and battles it states that :

I.Next is LUCK, this is the probability of him hitting you instead of missing and him blocking, a higher number then yours mean he is more likely to block/hit then you are, and vice versa


In the RPG Manual is says that this stat controls the percentage of hits that will be critical hits dealt by this class.

Which is correct?

Is there a way I can test this myself, if no one knows the answer to this?

I think it's the Critical Hit rate, though it may affect some other things as well. I remember someone posting something like, "100 luck will cause the character to get critital hits half the time".

Where is the bit on luck that you found?

You could try going to the post, use the "quote" button, copying the whole thing, and then edit the parts the aren't relevent out.

Dusk Raven,

Check out page 24 towards the bottom of the "Stat List" under "Parameter Settings"

Piccollo,

I must admit that I haven't responded since I have no idea what the answer is. I haven't messed around much at all with the LUCK stat.

I guess if you're really motivated to see this one through, you could test this out in TestPlay mode by setting up an event battle with a monster party with one monster. Modify your PCs Luck to 0 for the first battle, 25 for the second battle, 50 for the third battle, 75 for the fourth battle, and 100 for the last battle. Write down the actions that happen at each turn and repeat.

Someone also was throwing around the idea that luck also had an effect (affect?) on magic damage. Not to sound like a jerk, but really, if there's one "catch-all" stat in RPGs its luck. What does it do?! Nobody knows!
