Implement "Lucky" skill

When you make an attack with a Lucky Die, if you don't like the first roll, you can roll it again and keep the second result. When a Lucky Die is captured, the dice that captured it gain the same ability for that roll.

The new buttons in the forthcoming Button Murderer set will include this skill.

Doctor Lucky has the following button specials:

• Doctor's Luck: If Doctor Lucky has only one die, you must flip a coin after attacking it. If the flip is heads, the die remains in play.
• Size 19.5 Die: Use a d20, but if the roll is 20, flip a coin. If the flip is heads, treat it as a value of 19.5. Otherwise, reroll it.

Who usually asks Cheapass for the images?

[irilyth]

There isn't a whole lot of "usually"; there's only been one new set from Cheapass before this one. :^)

As it turns out, I volunteered to write to them last time, so I guess it's been me 100% of the time?

[TheOrgg]

Irilyth, did you ever get the images for this set from James?

[irilyth]

Hm, I don't think I ever asked. Lemme do that now!

[TheOrgg]

Greater than Games sent me the files. How do these look for Buttonweavers? Making them into buttons'll take a lot longer, but if that's needed, I'm willing to do so.

Also, we need someone to make sure I didn't make any mistakes with the images' recipes. I know @dwvanstone usually'll check, but anyone can feel free. https://buttonmen.fandom.com/wiki/Murderers
