But with Dom 9 and an awake pretender, your temple checks, of which you will get quite a few, will nearly always succeed.
I should go through and give them each a prophet in the first turn.
Also, there was a recent thread where IIRC KO states that Luck scale only matters in your home province, and once it has determined what kind of events you will have for the turn, it selects what province they happen in, and determines which exact event happens.

It's a few posts down, I have no idea how to get a link to a specific post on the page.
