Actual effect of luck
"If the player's luck is 1.0, there's a 100% chance that the probability is doubled, leading to a final probability of 20%." This is not true. A luck value of 1.0 just means there's a 100% chance of the probability being modified; what the final probability becomes is still random. Using the given example of a 10% chance, assuming a luck value of 1.0, the probability goes from 1 in 10 to 1 in a random value between 5 and 9; this averages out to 7, meaning an average probability of approximately 14.3% (which is most certainly not 20%).
