Doctor Lucky

Unique Schtick: Luckiest Man Alive
Spend a Fortune point to ignore all damage from an attack, incident or danger. Whenever this power is used draw a random failure card from 'Kill Doctor Lucky' and read the text aloud to the player who tried the attack.

The popular Doctor Lucky Cheapass games feature the redoubtable doctor himself in a prominent role. Now you can bring him along to your Feng Shui games.

Johnny Vain

Sample Dialogue: "So, you got yourselves beaten up again? (combs his hair) You guys should be more careful. I guess you want me to patch you up? (combs his hair) Lucky for you I was passing. (checks hair in mirror)"

Unique Schticks: Van Full of Firepower (Sonny Pak in GC), Nick of Time (Drifter archetype in SNF)

Wherever well-meaning heroes get their asses handed to them in Hong Kong, there is a chance that a white panel van will screech to a halt and Johnny will leap out. For no reward, he will patch them up before roaring away with a squeal of tyres. No-one is quite sure why he does this. Maybe he's just building up a list of people who owe him favours. The back of his van also doubles as an armoury, and he will happily sell ammo or hardware while he's stitching people back together. The only drawback is that he's not on the phone and difficult to find unless he finds you.
