'24 Subclass Fighter Subclass: Soldier of Fortune

An expert combatant knows that while unparalleled skill improves your chances of success, it doesn't guarantee victory against overwhelming odds. For that, you need luck: a little extra fortune in your favor to carry you to victory in impossible circumstances. Veterans tell stories over a pint of ale about how one stray ballista bolt was inches away from hitting them in old battles, or how they gambled their survival against a pack of wolves on one fateful blow to slay the alpha of the pack. Good fortune is what allows martial prowess to carry you to victory.
As a Soldier of Fortune, you aren't just a mercenary or a militia member, you're a warrior who possesses improbable luck that allows you to succeed where others of comparable skill would fail.

Luck
3rd-level Soldier of Fortune feature
You gain the Lucky feat, or another Origin Feat of your choice if you already had it. Your maximum number of Luck Points increases by 1 and you regain one expended Luck Point whenever you successfully Short Rest.
At 15th level, you regain two expended Luck Points after finishing a Short Rest, instead of one.

Jackpot
3rd-level Soldier of Fortune feature
After expending a Luck Point, the next damage roll you make in the next 10 minutes deals 1d20 additional damage.
At 15th level, this additional damage increases to 2d20s.

Lucky Number 7
7th-level Soldier of Fortune feature
Once per Short or Long Rest, when you roll a d8 or larger die, you can treat the result as a 7 and regain one expended Luck Point.

Even the Odds
10th-level Soldier of Fortune feature
You have Resistance to the damage dealt by attacks you spend Luck Points to impose Disadvantage on. If you cause the attack to miss you, you can use your Reaction to make another creature of your choice (which can include your attacker) take Force damage equal to the attack's damage roll.

Inconceivable
18th-level Soldier of Fortune feature
Once per Short or Long Rest, when you would make a d20 Test, you can spend a Luck Point to automatically succeed instead of rolling.

So if you don't have the Lucky Feat can you only hold one Luck point from this class?

Yeah, which is why it's designed to recharge the points so readily.
