So I'm looking through the vehicle test rules in the core book in preparation for a run, when I read something that makes me do a double take, and then a triple take, and finally come to dumpshock in terror.
QUOTE Acceleration Vehicles have an Acceleration rating that determines their movement rates. The number to the left of the slash is a vehicle’s Walking rate in meters per turn. The number to the right is its Running rate. A driver or drone can attempt to move a greater distance by making a Vehicle Test (see below). Each hit on the test adds 5 meters to the vehicle’s movement rate. So the way I read this is: A large number of vehicles cannot move faster than a running human unless they have a competent driver. A sprinting troll on rollerblades will outpace almost any groundcraft in the game (53 run + hits*2 compared to the fastest car in the core book with run speed 60), and an unaugmented centaur would flatten anyone regardless of their vehicle or prowess. |
