Full Version: A question asked by my players
So, in my campaign, I am sending the group to Arabia to retrieve a piece of the True Cross from the 3rd Crusade. My Troll players asked "So, does Pilot Ground Craft cover camels?" I found this humorous for some reason.
A Captain in the UCAS Marines was transferred to a desert outpost protecting a mining conglomerate's interests. On his orientation tour he noticed a very old, seedy looking camel tied out back of the enlisted mens barracks. He asked the Sergeant leading the tour, "What's the camel for?".
The Sergeant replied "Well sir it's a long way from anywhere, and the men have natural sexual urges, so when they do, uh, we have the camel."
The captain said "Well if it's good for moral, then I guess it's all right with me."
After he had been at the fort for about 6 months the captain could not stand it any more so he told his Sergeant, "BRING IN THE CAMEL!!!"
The sarge shrugged his shoulders and led the camel into the captains quarters. The captain got a foot stool & proceeded to have vigorous sex with the camel. As he stepped, satisfied, down from the stool, and was buttoning his pants he asked the Sergeant, "Is that how the enlisted men do it?"
The Sergeant replied, "Well sir, they usually just use it to ride into town."
The Sergeant replied "Well sir it's a long way from anywhere, and the men have natural sexual urges, so when they do, uh, we have the camel."
The captain said "Well if it's good for moral, then I guess it's all right with me."

That would be a yes then?

LOL very creative.
As for the skill, mmh I dont think that covers it, but if u think it covers horses I would just substract 1 or 2 dices from the roll.
I can just see some Go-Go-Go-Ganger trying to kick-start a Camel, and getting kicked in return!
Pilot Exotic Ground Vehicle: Camel! 
I don't think it does. I think it falls into the same category as handle animal. There are positive traits and magical abilities that allow you to handle animals better (train, get along with, etc), but no actual skill...
If you need it, I would just add it as the Ride skill.
(Or Fortune's idea: Exotic Ground Vehicle: Animal)

Actually, it would fall under the Pilot Anthroform skill - "any vehicle that walks on legs."
