Where others devote decades to mastery, the Jack sees the value of experiencing life through knowledge of all kinds. A Jack thrives on improvisation. They surround themselves with people who have skills not equal to their own, creating the perfect environment to learn new skills and abilities, and picking up on the ways everyone works through life. A Jack's best friend is a master. Some Jack's value the thrill of battle, picking up the techniques and skills of their companions. Others prefer the easy travel of the road, where there is copious study time allowing for careful practice. No matter their path, every Jack shares one truth: *they always have something left to try.* ### Becoming a Jack... ###### As a Level 1 Character * Gain all the traits in the Core Jack Traits table. * Gain the Jack's level 1 features, which are listed in the [[#Jack Features]] table. ###### As a Multiclass Character * Gain the following traits from the Core Jack Traits table: Hit Point Die, proficiency in one skill of your choice, proficiency with one Tool of your choice, and training in Light Armor. * Gain the Jack's level 1 features, which are listed in the [[#Jack Features]] table. ### Jack Class Features As a Jack, you gain the following class features when you reach the specified Jack levels.

If you already have the Lucky feat, this is in addition to the three points you gain from the feat. #### Level 7: Skilled Helper When you use the Help action to give an ally advantage on a skill check for which you are proficient with, you also impart a bonus to the roll equal to your Intelligence modifier. #### Level 9: Improved Jack of All Trades Your adaptability continues to expand.
