No, but it equals one half an AP, so you can plan if you know what you're doing. For instance if you're hasted from 9 AP you often have 13.5, and you can use that .5.

And, uh, the abusive tricks. Not all are gone, but a good many of the most egregious ones are history, and my initial chagrin was quickly replaced with appreciation. The turn-based combat system is still stylized in nature, of course, with a fair amount of vital tactics revolving around artificial engine features. But overall the new system is a more reasonable stylization of fantasy combat.

Of course you can't actually play an Agent since you are a rebel, but there is a comparable class. I'm not sure how to play it now, since I used to rely on a lot of tricks that don't work any more.

If the effects of Luck are more noticeable for rare drops, the Vahnatai Myrmidons that assassinate Houghton might be good for testing purposes. They appear in a convenient group of 3 in an area with no other hostile monsters (so it's easy to keep track of who dropped what), and apparently they have a small chance to drop a Fine Waveblade.
