Bard (Archaeologist) / Archaeologists Luck

Hi,

I've noticed 2 concerns with the "Archaeologist's Luck"
First is with the Aasimar/BRD FCB "1/2 level to performance (choose)"; Archaeologist's Luck isn't an available option, even though Raw states that it is to be treated like a Bardic Performance for all things that impact Bardic Performance (in this case the FCB)

The second is with the Faith Trait "Fate's Favored" from UC; "The Fates watch over you. Whenever you are under the effect of a luck bonus of any kind, that bonus increases by 1"
Archaeologist's luck doesn't appear to gain this increase

This doesn't appear to work with other luck bonuses either (e.g. applying "Divine Favor" under Adjust/Spells)
 
The Fate's Favored trait is a bit odd in how it's implemented. It doesn't modify any bonuses, as it would be near impossible to look through absolutely everything on the character, see if it has a luck bonus, and add 1 to that bonus. Instead, it simply adds a custom tag to the hero [Custom.LuckPlus1]. It is then up to every other thing that might confer a luck bonus to check for this tag, and if present, add 1 to it's bonus.

Archaeologist's Luck does not check for that tag. It would need to, and add 1 to it's abValue prior to assigning all it's Luck bonuses. Same for Divine Favor, and probably a few other Luck bonus granting things. There may be more as well. It needs to be bug reported, and make sure the report lists the items you've found, but also that there are likely more and they'd need to search everywhere for them (something they should be able to do by searching through the data files pre-encryption).
 
Totally makes sense from a logic perspective; someone else was playing with threadcromancy and a mod pointed them to the bug reports link; I'll follow up through that

As an aside, is there a way to see what bugs are open or resolved? So that I don't raise bugs that either are already being worked on or, even worse, already fixed and just waiting promotion to the live code?

The impression that I've seen here from LW staff is to go ahead and report away! Let them worry about the repeated reports, it almost seems as though that is almost a gauge of how many users the bug is affecting. I could be wrong on that part, but the general consensus that I've seen has to been to report anyway when you find a bug.
