Vehicles involve two elements. The first is control of
the vehicle; the second is attacks and damage. Although a
more realistic system is included in Solo of Fortune,
this simple system will work for most cases.
a) Making a Control Roll: To control
a vehicle you must roll a combination of your
| REF + DRIVING/PILOTING
SKILL+1D10+ MODIFIERS |
equal to or greater than a specific
control number. The control number is determined by the
difficulty of the maneuver you want to perform.
| Simple (swerve,
take off or land, hover, rotate) |
15 |
| Difficult
(tight turn, control a skid, recover from a
stall, emergency stop, pull out of dive, reverse
or pull away) |
20 |
| Very Difficult
(bootlegger turn, regain control from spin) |
25 |
b) When making your roll:
you must add any and all modifiers that apply to the
situation to your final Control Roll. There are modifiers
for both vehicles and speed of travel:

On a failed roll, roll 1D6 and consult
the Control Loss Table below:
