Moving vehicles

[SpydirShell]

Trying to figure out where to find/what rules to use about fighting on a moving vehicle.

 

Do you need to buy extra clinging strength to hold on or is base level cling enough? (and how do you model the the driver trying to shake the person off?)

 

Is there damage involved in leaping on/off a moving vehicle?

Re: Moving vehicles

 

For trying to shake the person off, I'd convert some of the vehicle's velocity to damage, and treat that as Strength to pry them off. For instance: 60m -> 6d6 / 30 STR.

How much of the velocity to use would be based off a Combat Driving roll.

 

If you use normal movement speed however, then the more manueverable (high-SPD) a vehicle is, the worse it is at shaking people off (when moving at the same mph). Perhaps a more consistent method would be to use meters/turn as the base.

So, something like ...

 

Combat Driving Roll:

Fail by 2 or less: STR = MPT / 30

Success: STR = MPT / 15

Succeed by 5: STR = MPT / 10

 

Thus, driving at 60mph (320m / Turn):

Minor failure => STR 11

Success => STR 21

Success +5 => STR 32
