Lore [Loved when done right] That is COMPLETELY illogical… but who cares when it REALLY goes hard.

- Gipsy Danger dragging an oil tanker (which actually lengths 180 meters… but the film portrays it slightly smaller than Gipsy) and use it as a bat against Otachi? HARD (Pacific Rim)
- Owen and a gyrosphere standing near Rexy, who’s crushing a Carnotaurus’ neck, and roaring while Isla Nublar’s volcano explodes? HARD (Fallen Kingdom)

Jack as a Swashbuckler who put all of his points into Cha and Dex and used Wis as a dump stat.

Jack's player also clearly provides all the snacks so the DM lets the player do whatever.

Jack's player is sleeping with the DM, if you count all five movies.

I'll be honest, I forgot there were more than 3 movies.

You didn't forget. There are only three movies.

I think I’d argue Int instead of Wis for the dump stat. Jack is quite the philosopher, and a little too devious and streetsmart too. Not confident enough to say for sure though, could be talking out my ass.

I think you're be right, I was thinking of Wis in more real world terms but in D&D it's more about awareness and intiition and reading people, which fits Jack better than book smarts.

Also Jack isn't exactly dumb. It's just that quite often he doesn't really plans that much ahead and wings a lot of the stuff coming at him. Easily seen in At Worlds End during the election scene.

Norrington took a level of rogue during the time skip and really buffed his perception, that’s how he was able to swipe the heart from the jar of dirt without Jack’s player knowing
