GM Notes
Per GM Armifer on the Su Helmas: Revealed! Luck devices:
There are five astrolabes available: Dull: Lucky (+1), rebounds. Bright: Very Lucky (+2), rebounds. Shining: Divine (+3), rebounds. Twisted: Lucky (+1), no rebound. Ornate: Lucky (+1), no rebound, affects everyone in the room. Rebounds means that after a duration of good luck, you get an equal duration of bad luck afterward. Lucky astrolabes last 20 minutes Very Lucky, 10 minutes. Divine, 5 minutes. These are chargeless devices.
Lucky and Very Luck astrolabes should have a ~30 minute cooldown. Divine astrolabes should have a ~50 minute* cooldown.
