Potion of Luck
Dice manipulation is an interesting mechanic to play with in the rules of DnD. After all, the laws of the worlds facilitated by DnD are determined by the roll of dice; so if you want to represent abilities that manipulate fate, you often represent it with the manipulation of dice. Only problem is that manipulating the laws of the world on such a meta world is, surprisingly, pretty strong. So we're eager to present you this luck bringing magic item! Balance is already interpretive when it comes to magic items, so it'll be fine! Just give it to the player who needs it. Or, ya know, the Halfling.

Potion of Luck
Potion, rare
When you drink this potion, you gain 3 luck points. Whenever you make an attack roll, ability check, or saving throw, you can spend 1 luck point to roll an additional d20. You can use this ability after the original roll, but before the outcome is revealed. You choose which of the d20s is used for the attack roll, ability check, or saving throw.
You can also spend one luck point when an attack roll is made against you. Roll a d20, and choose whether the attacker’s roll uses their d20 roll or yours.
If multiple creatures use a luck point on the same roll, they cancel out, resulting in no additional dice.
