  <div class="jfg-title">HOW TO USE THE BENCH</div>
  <p class="jfg-lead">Turn a WarMachine WarJack into a playable Pathfinder stat block in six steps.</p>

  <ol class="jfg-steps">
    <li>Type the jack's <b>WarMachine stat line</b> into the plate on the left: SPD, STR, MAT, RAT, DEF, ARM, hit boxes, and special attacks (plus a name).</li>
    <li>Pick the <b>Chassis Type</b> and the <b>Class / Chassis</b>. Weights a chassis can't be are greyed out (Khador builds no lights; colossal chassis lock to Colossal).</li>
    <li>Set the <b>Arc Node</b>. Extra controls appear when they apply: Cyriss vectors relabel MAT/RAT to <b>CaL / CHD</b> and gain a <b>Hover</b> option; Retribution myrmidons get a <b>Field Power</b> box; tick <b>Unique 'Jack?</b> to nudge the CR for a character jack.</li>
    <li>Press <b>Convert</b>.</li>
    <li>Read the three tabs: <span class="jfg-tag">PF1e</span> Pathfinder 1st Edition, <span class="jfg-tag">PF2e</span> Pathfinder 2nd Edition, and <span class="jfg-tag">APF1e</span> a WarMachine-style hit-location "box-out" damage system.</li>
    <li>On PF1e or PF2e, hit <b>Send to Foundry SBC?</b> to copy an import-ready stat block to your clipboard, then paste it into Foundry's <b>SBC</b> module (PF1) or <b>PF2e Bestiary Import</b> module (PF2).</li>
  </ol>

  <div class="jfg-note">
    Stats are recalibrated to legal Pathfinder ranges, so a Juggernaut reads as a CR 10 threat rather than a world-ender. Damage reduction bypasses <b>adamantine</b>, which in the Iron Kingdoms is <b>Serric Steel</b>: the same metal, the same rule.
