Editing Trinity:Greasemonkey

This class is planned on being added to the ''SteamWorks'' line, written by me, from [http://www.12tomidnight.com 12 to Midnight]. As such, it may not be up all that long.

In addition, this class is one of the two that probably still requires extensive work. What is presented here is a basic framework of the class - I'm certain that modifications will be required. At the moment, the class is relatively balanced, and accomplished what I wanted it to accomplish: a character that is her vehicle, and is almost useless without it. The vehicles are mildly overpowered, but with the understanding that the character is useless without it, it works.

Vehicles follow a set of rules that are largely hacked together. Much of the vehicle modifications are pulled from ''d20 Future'', so you will need that book (or access to it's SRD) to make use of the material; however, some of the combat rules used for vehicles are pulled from ''Dragonmech'' (specifically critical hits), so you may want access to that book, as well. I want to make it very clear that this class is still largely untested, and will probably require a good deal of testing before all the kinks are worked out. The vehicle rules, considering that they're the meat of this class, are presented after the class description itself.

At the moment, the class does not make use of a 3-dimensional combat system I've been considering working on. As such, it does mesh with the existing mechanics of the game, and using it should not completely unduly balance an individual party. However, caution should be exercised - I'm not entirely certain if a vehicle can utterly break the game.

Without further ado: the class.

=Greasemonkey=
[[Image:Pilot_class_image.jpg|thumb|250px|right|A greasemonkey]]
The greasemonkey is her vehicle, and her vehicle is her. With the skill to pilot anything that can walk, fly, or swim, greasemonkeys are an invaluable asset if you want to travel. Greasemonkeys also excel at repairing craft, and can eke out the most from any vehicle in which they find themselves.

==Game Rule Information==
Greasemonkeys have the following game statistics.

'''[[Trinity:The_Forces#Force Alignment | Force Alignment]]:''' Technology.

'''[[Trinity:The_Forces#Force_Resistance | Force Resistances]]:''' SR 5 + level, PR 5 + level.

'''Abilities:''' Dexterity is the most important ability for a greasemonkey, as that is what modifies their ability to pilot vehicles. Vehicles often make use of firearms, and as such Perception can also be important.

'''Hit Die:''' d6.

'''Class Skills:''' The greasemonkey's class skills (and the key ability for each) are Balance (Dex), Climb (Str), Craft (Int), Disable Device (Int), Jump (Str), Knowledge (Technology) (Int), Listen (Per), Pilot (Dex), Profession (Wis), Repair (Int), and Search (Per).

'''Skill Points at Each Level:''' 4 + Int.

'''Alignment:''' Any.

'''Starting Age:''' Simple (as a rogue).

'''Starting Gold:''' 4d4 x 10gp. 

'''Favored By:''' [[Trinity:Moogle | Moogles]].

==Class Features==
All of the following are class features of the greasemonkey core class.

'''Weapons and Armor Proficiency:''' Greasemonkeys are proficient with all simple weapons, all crossbows, and a single basic or advanced firearm of his choice. Greasemonkeys are proficient with light armor, but not with shields.

Greasemonkeys are also proficient with all weapons mounted on a vehicle.

'''Vehicle:''' Works like a standard vehicle. Each time the greasemonkey levels, the vehicle also gains a level; this level is free and requires no expenditure of gp or xp.

A greasemonkey may have multiple vehicles. If he chooses to do so, he still has only 15 points to purchase their ability scores with; he may spread them out amongst as many vehicles as he chooses. In addition, he time he levels, he may also level a single vehicle. The abilities of a vehicle are based on its level, not on that of the greasemonkey.

'''Hand Speed:''' A greasemonkey gains Weapon Finesse and Quick Draw as bonus feats at first level.

'''Extraordinary Pilot:''' A greasemonkey adds his greasemonkey level to his pilot checks.

'''Patchwork Repairs:''' A greasemonkey can temporarily remove the effects of a critical hit on a vehicle. As a full-round action, the greasemonkey must make a Repair check against DC 10 + the vehicle's red damage threshold (1/10 HP, round up); if successful, the effect of the critical hit is negated for a number of rounds equal to 1d6 + the character's greasemonkey level.

If the check is failed, the greasemonkey cannot attempt to repair that particular critical hit effect again. The greasemonkey can attempt to repair the same effect again after a previous repair duration has ended, but each additional time, the DC increases by 10.

'''Roll with the Punches:''' While in a vehicle, the greasemonkey can reduce the severity of a critical hit by the indicated number of increments (one increment would be from yellow to green, or red to orange; two would be from red to yellow; three would be from red to green).

'''Push the Envelope:''' The greasemonkey can push any vehicle he is piloting to the limit, improving its performance temporarily but causing it to overheat. A greasemonkey can do this once per day at 3rd level and an additional time per day every three levels thereafter.

When pushing the envelope, the greasemonkey's vehicle gains a temporary +2 bonus to attack and damage rolls, +2 to all saving throws, and +10 ft. to its movement speeds. The greasemonkey can keep the vehicle redlined for a number of rounds equal to 3 + the greasemonkey's Dex modifier. At the end of the redline duration, the vehicle is overheated for 1d4+2 rounds. An overheated vehicle suffers a -2 penalty to attack and damage rolls, -1 to all saving throws, and -5 ft. to its movement speeds.

At 12th, these benefits go to +4 bonus to attack and damage rolls, +4 to all saving throws, and +20 ft. to its movement speeds.

At 18th, the vehicle is no longer overheated when the effect ends.

=Vehicles=
Vehicles generally behave as characters. The following sections detail precisely how vehicles work.

In general, refer to the d20 Future SRD for how general vehicle combat functions; also, a good number of the various things attainable via equipment slots are derived from the SRD, so use that if you have any questions regarding what a specific thing does.

==Vehicle Overview==
Vehicles gain hit dice, BAB, and whatnot. A greasemonkey in a vehicle can use his attack bonus or that of his vehicle, at his choice. A greasemonkey in a vehicle that must make a reflex or fortitude save uses the vehicle's save. Vehicles are immune to effects that do not affect objects. Vehicles have a base AC of 5, reflecting the fact that they are objects and easy to hit. This is further modified by their Dex mod, then by their Base Defense Bonus.

Vehicle combat follows the same general rules as those found in the d20 Modern SRD, which can be found [http://www.12tomidnight.com/d20modernsrd/CombatVehicles.php here].

===Abilities=== 
Vehicles have Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution scores. When created, the greasemonkey chooses what the vehicle's stats are, using the point buy system; the greasemonkey has 15 points to distribute to his vehicle's stats. Alternatively, the greasemonkey may opt to roll his vehicle's ability scores, in a manner similar to how a character is created. As with characters, a vehicle gains an additional ability point at every fourth vehicle level. These ability scores are also further modified by the vehicle's size.

The greasemonkey can increase the vehicle's LA to improve the points for point buy. Each increase in LA gives the greasemonkey 5 more points to allocate for point buy.

Note: A high Con mod applies to each HD; therefore, a vehicle gains its Con mod in bonus HP twice each level.

===Damage Thresholds=== 
A vehicle has four damage thresholds: green, yellow, orange, and red. A vehicle between full and half HP is at green; between half and a quarter is yellow; between a quarter and a tenth is orange; and less than a tenth is red. A vehicle that suffers a critical hit suffers a critical hit effect from ''Dragonmech'' (pg76) depending on the vehicle's engine.

===Fuel===
A vehicle uses fuel. Fuel is an abstract concept in this system; as such, even a clockwork engine has fuel. Refueling a vehicle depends on the engine type. A base vehicle can hold 100 units of fuel. Outside of stressful situations, a vehicle can run for 6 minutes on 1 unit of fuel (so 10 units of fuel for an hour, 100 for 10 hours). However, in strenuous situations, vehicles tend to use more fuel; as such, a vehicle consumes 1 unit of fuel each round while in combat or other stressful situations (a stressful situation being any situation in which a character would not be allowed to take 20 on a skill check).

A vehicle running on low fuel (20, or 1/5, whichever is higher) suffer adverse effects. Running on low fuel has the same effects as being overheated, and stacks with said effect. A vehicle begins suffering the effects of low fuel as soon as its fuel drops below 20 or 1/5 its max fuel capacity, whichever is higher.

===Movement===
Unlike characters, vehicles can't start or stop at a whim, nor can they turn whenever they would like to. A vehicle has certain restrictions upon its movement, depending upon the movement rate it is currently using and the maneuverability of that mode of movement.

===Facing===
Unlike characters, vehicles always have facing. A vehicle can be facing in one of six directions - north, south, east, west, up, and down. A vehicle's ability to change its facing is wholly dependent upon what movement rate it is currently using and the maneuverability of that mode of movement.

===Vehicle Reconstruction===
A greasemonkey may freely reconstruct his vehicle. However, doing so comes at a cost.

The greasemonkey may completely rebuild his vehicle, including material and build, at the cost of (200 * vehicle level) XP.

The greasemonkey may change the vehicle's classes at the cost of (100 * vehicle level) XP.

The greasemonkey may change the vehicle's equipment slots at the cost of (50 * vehicle level) XP.

In addition, at 4th level and every four levels thereafter, the greasemonkey may freely change the vehicle's equipment slots.

==Vehicle Size==
A vehicle may be increased in size every third vehicle level.

''Size Modifier:'' This modifier applies to any roll in which the vehicle must account for its size.

''Grapple Modifier:'' Should the vehicle become engaged in a grapple, this is the vehicle's base grapple bonus, provided it is currently piloted.

''Hide Modifier:'' Should the vehicle attempt to hide, this is its modifier for attempting to do so.

''Maneuverability Modifier:'' Also referred to as PCP (Pilot check penalty), this penalty is applied to any Pilot checks made by a creature piloting the vehicle.

 				'''Modifiers'''
 ''Size 		Abbrev.	Space	Size	Grap	Hide	Man.	Available At...''
 Medium		M	  5 ft.	 +0	 +0	 +0	+0	1st	
 Large 		L	 10 ft.	 -1	 +4	 -4	+0	1st
 Huge		H	 15 ft.	 -2	 +8	 -8	+0	3rd

 Vast		V	 40 ft.	-12	+20	-20	-1	12th	
 Enormous	E	 50 ft.	-16	+24	-24	-2	15th	
 Immense		I	 60 ft.	-20	+28	-28	-2	18th	
 Titanic		T	 80 ft.	-20	+32	-32	-2	21st	
 Awesome		A	100 ft.	-20	+36	-36	-3	24th

==Vehicle Material==
When constructing a vehicle, a greasemonkey may choose from one of the following materials. Some vehicle materials have an LA; therefore, add the vehicle's level and its LA to determine if a greasemonkey can construct it.

* Wood
* Iron
* Steel
* Titanium
* Orichalcum

 '''WOOD''' (LA +0)
 	Hardness: 2.	STR +0
 	Armor: +0.	DEX +2
 	PCP: -0.	CON -2
 	Fire Vulnerability (x2), Electricity Immunity.
 
 '''IRON''' (LA +0)
 	Hardness: 4.	STR +2
 	Armor: +2.	DEX -2
 	PCP: -2.	CON +0
 	Electricity Vulnerability, Magnetic Vulnerability.
 
 '''STEEL''' (LA +0)
 	Hardness: 6.	STR +2
 	Armor: +4.	DEX -4
 	PCP: -4.	CON +2
 	Electricity Vulnerability, Magnetic Vulnerability, Cold Vulnerability.
 
 '''TITANIUM''' (LA +1)
 	Hardness: 8.	STR +4
 	Armor: +6.	DEX -2
 	PCP: -2.	CON +2
 	Magnetic Vulnerability.
 
 '''ORICHALCUM''' (LA +2)
 	Hardness: 10.	STR +4
 	Armor: +8.	DEX +0
 	PCP: -2.	CON +2
 	No Vulnerabilities.

==Vehicle Build==
The build of a vehicle indicates its general structure; in addition, certain builds may be capable of additional abilities that other builds cannot attain. The build of a vehicle also indicates how many equipment slots (see below) it begins with, and its equipment slot progression; build also indicates the vehicle's method of movement, maneuverability, and its base move rates.

The available builds are as follows.
* Go-Kart
* Mech
* Ornithopter
* Submersible

 '''GO-KART BUILD'''
 	Movement: 50 ft.
 	Maneuverability: Average.
 	Base Equipment Slots: 5.
 
 '''MECH BUILD'''
 	Movement: 20 ft.
 	Maneuverability: Average.
 	Base Equipment Slots: 5.
 
 '''ORNITHOPTER BUILD'''
 	Movement: Fly 40 ft.
 	Maneuverability: Average.
 	Base Equipment Slots: 3.
 
 '''SUBMERSIBLE BUILD'''
 	Movement: Swim 60 ft.
 	Maneuverability: Average.
 	Base Equipment Slots: 3.

===Equipment Slots===
Equipment Slots are used to purchase additional abilities of a vehicle - they are used for armor, weaponry, engines, and miscellaneous other systems. The number of equipment slots available to a given vehicle increases at every third vehicle level, as per the progression below.

 		'''LEVEL'''
 '''BUILD'''		''1 3 6  9 12 15 18''
 Go-Kart		5 6 8 12 18 26 36
 Mech		5 6 8 12 18 26 36
 Ornithopter	3 4 6 10 16 24 34
 Submerisble	3 4 6 10 16 24 34

==Vehicle Classes==
A vehicle gains levels, much as characters do. However, vehicles only gain vehicle levels; in addition, a vehicle only levels in conjunction with the greasemonkey that constructed it (vehicles constructed by other means do not gain levels). The four vehicle classes are described below.

Note that a vehicle gains max hit points at first level, just as characters do. A vehicle can freely multiclass without suffering any penalties for doing so; vehicles do not suffer adverse effects from having multiple classes with uneven levels.

===Weapons Class===
'''HD:''' 2d6.

 	'''BAB	BDB	Fort	Ref	SPECIAL'''
 1	+1	+0	+0	+0	Damage Increase (+1d)
 2	+2	+1	+0	+0	Weapons Slots (+2)
 3	+3	+1	+1	+1	Weapon Upgrade
 4	+4	+2	+1	+1	Damage Increase (+1d)
 5	+5	+2	+1	+1	Weapon Slots (+2)
 6	+6	+3	+2	+2	Weapon Upgrade
 7	+7	+3	+2	+2	Damage Increase (+1d)
 8	+8	+4	+2	+2	Weapon Slots (+2)
 9	+9	+4	+3	+3
 10	+10	+5	+3	+3	Weapon Upgrade

'''Damage Increase:''' At 1st, 4th, and 7th levels, the greasemonkey may choose one of the vehicle's weapons. The chosen weapon's damage is increased by one die, with no additional expenditure of equipment slots.

'''Weapon Slots:''' At 2nd, 5th, and 8th levels, the vehicle gains two additional equipment slots, which can only be spent on weapons.

'''Weapon Upgrade:''' At 3rd, 6th, and 10th levels, choose one of the following abilities.
* ''Accurate Targeting:'' When making an attack action, the greasemonkey may expend one use of Push the Envelope and spend a full-round action making a single attack. If he does so, he automatically hits, but he does not threaten a critical.
* ''Rush:'' When making an attack action, the greasemonkey may expend three uses of Push the Envelope and spend a full-round action making a single attack roll with his highest attack bonus. If he hits, he deals damage as though he hit with each vehicle weapon for each attack the greasemonkey can normally make (for instance, if the greasemonkey can normally make two attacks, and his vehicle has three weapons, he deals damage as though each weapon hit twice). This damage is not multiplied by a critical hit. After the attack roll, the vehicle is overheated.
* ''Blitz Weaponry:'' When making an attack action with an area-effect weapon, the greasemonkey may expend one use of Push the Envelope. If he does so, creatures do not benefit from Evasion against the damage. Creatures with Improved Evasion are treated as though they had Evasion instead. If the greasemonkey expends two uses of Push the Envelope, all creatures are treated as though they had neither Improved Evasion nor Evasion. (Prereq: A weapon with area-effect)
* ''Rapid Response Time:'' The vehicle may make a single AoO each round. If the greasemonkey expends a use of Push the Envelope, the vehicle can make an additional AoO that round.  This may be done in reaction to a creature taking an action that provokes AoOs. 

===Armor Class===
'''HD:''' 2d12.

 	'''BAB	BDB	Fort	Ref	SPECIAL'''
 1	+0	+1	+2	+1	Hardness (+1)
 2	+1	+2	+3	+2	Armor Slots (+2)
 3	+1	+3	+3	+2	Armor Upgrade
 4	+2	+4	+4	+2	Hardness (+1)
 5	+2	+5	+4	+3	Armor Slots (+2)
 6	+3	+6	+5	+3	Armor Upgrade
 7	+3	+7	+5	+4	Hardness (+1)
 8	+4	+8	+6	+4	Armor Slots (+2)
 9	+4	+9	+6	+4
 10	+5	+10	+7	+5	Armor Upgrade

'''Hardness:''' At 1st, 4th, and 7th levels, the vehicle's hardness is increased by 1.

'''Armor Slots:''' At 2nd, 5th, and 8th levels, the vehicle two additional equipment slots, which can only be spent on armor.

'''Armor Upgrade:''' At 3rd, 6th, and 10th levels, choose one of the following abilities.
* ''Defensive Stance:'' The vehicle can take a defensive stance. As a swift action and by expending one use of Push the Envelope, the vehicle gains +2 to Strength, +4 to Constitution, a +2 resistance bonus on all saves, and a +4 dodge bonus to AC. The increase in Constitution increases the vehicle’s hit points by 4 points per level, but these hit points go away at the end of the defensive stance when the Constitution score drops back 4 points. These extra hit points are not lost first the way temporary hit points are. While in a defensive stance, a vehicle cannot use skills or abilities that would require it to shift his position. A defensive stance lasts for a number of rounds equal to 3 + the vehicle’s (newly improved) Constitution modifier. A vehicle may end its defensive stance voluntarily prior to this limit. At the end of the defensive stance, the vehicle is overheated.
* ''Mobile Defense:'' While under the effect of Defensive Stance, the vehicle may take one 5-foot step each round. (Prereq: Defensive Stance)
* ''Active Defense:'' When attacked, as an immediate action, the greasemonkey may expend a use of Push the Envelope to make a Defense roll. Instead of using a base of 5 for the vehicle's AC, the greasemonkey may roll a d20 and use the result for the base of the vehicle's AC. The effects of this ability last until the greasemonkey's next turn.
* ''Fortified Structure:'' Each critical threshold is halved (green is now from full to 1/4; yellow is 1/4 to 1/8; orange is 1/8 to 1/20; red is 1/20 and below).
* ''Evasion:'' The vehicle gains the Evasion ability. The greasemonkey may expend two uses of Push the Envelope as an immediate action to improve this to Improved Evasion; doing so lasts until the greasemonkey's next turn.

===Engines Class===
'''HD:''' 2d8.

 	'''BAB	BDB	Fort	Ref	SPECIAL'''

'''Movement:''' At 1st, 4th, and 7th levels, choose one of the vehicle's movement rates. That movement rate is increased by 10 feet.

'''Engine Slots:''' At 2nd, 5th, and 8th levels, the vehicle two additional equipment slots, which can only be spent on engines.

'''Engine Upgrade:''' At 3rd, 6th, and 10th levels, choose one of the following abilities.
* ''Pedal to the Metal:'' By expending one use of Push the Envelope, the greasemonkey can double his vehicle's speed for a number of rounds equal to his Dexterity modifier, after which the vehicle is overheated.
* ''Perfect Handling:'' By expending two uses of Push the Envelope, the greasemonkey can change his vehicle's maneuverability to Perfect with all movement speeds for a number of rounds equal to his Dex modifier, after which the vehicle is overheated.
* ''Efficient Fuel Consumption:'' The vehicle does not suffer adverse effects from being low on fuel.
* ''Overdrive:'' When using Push the Envelope, the greasemonkey can choose to expend one additional use. If he does so, the effects of Push the Envelope are improved by +2 bonus to attack and damage rolls, +2 to all saving throws, and +10 ft. to its movement speeds. These effects stack with the normal benefits from Push the Envelope, but the vehicle is always overheated after using Overdrive. 

===Systems Class===
'''HD:''' 2d10.

 	'''BAB	BDB	Fort	Ref	SPECIAL'''
 1	+0	+0	+1	+0	Systems Slots (+2)

'''Systems Slots:''' At 2nd, 5th, and 8th levels, the vehicle two additional equipment slots, which can only be spent on systems.

'''Systems Upgrade:''' At 3rd, 6th, and 10th levels, choose one of the following abilities.
* ''Reroute Power (Backup Systems):'' The greasemonkey chooses a number of Systems whose equipment slots equal his Intelligence modifier. As a full round action and expending one use of Push the Envelope, the greasemonkey may disable Systems whose total equipment slots equal his Intelligence modifier and enable the chosen Systems. Once chosen for a given vehicle, these additional Systems cannot be changed. This ability lasts for a number of rounds equal to the greasemonkey's Dex mod, after which the Systems are enabled and the backup Systems disabled; after this ability is used, the vehicle is overheated.
* ''Reroute Power (Engines):'' The greasemonkey can choose to disable a number of Systems whose equipment slots equal his Int modifier. If he expends one use of Push the Envelope, he may then choose to either improve the vehicle's maneuverability by one increment, or to improve the vehicle's speed by 10 feet x his Int mod. This effect lasts for a number of rounds equal to his Dex mod, after which the effect ends and the vehicle is overheated.
* ''Reroute Power (Weapons):'' The greasemonkey can choose to disable a number of Systems whose equipment slots equal his Int modifier. If he expends one use of Push the Envelope, he may increase one of the vehicle's weapons damage by +1d/Int mod. This effect lasts for a number of rounds equal to his Dex mod, after which the effect ends and the vehicle is overheated.
* ''Reroute Power (Critical):'' The greasemonkey can choose to disable a number of Systems whose equipment slots equal his Int modifier. If he expends one use of Push the Envelope, he may ignore the effects of a critical hit on the vehicle for 1 round/Int mod.

* Clockwork engines require rewinding. One minute of winding is equal to one unit of fuel.
* Thrustors, Ion Engines, and Induction Engines require a special material generically known as "Vehicle Fuel" to run. One unit of this substance is equal to one unit of fuel.
* Gravitic Engines require nothing more than time to refuel; however, the vehicle must be completely powered down. One round of being powered down is equal to one unit of fuel.

==Vehicle Movement==
A vehicle's movement depends upon the current mode of movement it is using, and the maneuverability of that mode. In addition, a vehicle's build may also impact its ability to move.

===Movement===
The following are charts and descriptions explaining how vehicle movement works.

 '''Table VM-1: MECH LAND MOVEMENT'''
 
 		'''Perfect		Good		Average		Poor		Clumsy'''
 '''Reverse'''		Free		-10 ft.		No		No		No
 '''Turn'''		Any		90°/20 ft.	45°/20 ft.	45°/20 ft.	45°/40 ft.
 '''Turn in Place'''	Any		+90°/-20 ft.	+45°/20 ft.	No		No
 '''Maximum Turn'''	Any		Any		90°		45°		45°
 '''Trip Checks'''	+4		+0		+0		-4		-8
 '''Climb'''		Yes		-4		No		No		No
 '''Jump'''		Yes		-4		-8		No		No
 '''Clearance'''	3/4 height	1/2 height	1/2 height	1/4 height	1/4 height

'''Reverse:''' Mechs of perfect maneuverability can switch between forward and reserve movement at no penalty. At good, the mech must expend 10 ft. of movement to switch to reverse. Mechs of average or worse maneuverability cannot move in reverse.

'''Turn:''' The amount of forward movement the mech must make to turn. Mechs with perfect maneuverability can wheel in place, while others must move forward in order to make a turn.

'''Turn in Place:''' The amount of speed the mech can spend to turn in place. Mechs of poor or worse maneuverability cannot turn in place; they must move forward to move.

'''Maximum Turn:''' The maximum amount that a mech can turn in one turn.

'''Trip Checks:''' The modifier to the mech's trip checks. The clumsier a mech is, the easier it is to trip it.

'''Climb:''' Well-balanced mechs can climb cliff faces, castle walls, and other obstrctions.

'''Jump:''' As with Climb, this describes whether a mech can jump or not, and if so, at what penalties.

'''Clearance:''' How high the mech can step.

 '''TABLE VM-2: NON-MECH LAND MOVEMENT'''
 
 			'''Perfect		Good		Average		Poor		Clumsy'''
 '''Reverse'''			Free		-5 ft.		No		No		No
 '''Turn'''			Any		90°/10 ft.	45°/10 ft.	45°/10 ft.	45°/20 ft.
 '''Turn in Place'''		Any		+90°/-10 ft.	+45°/-10 ft.	No		No
 '''Maximum Turn'''		Any		Any		90°		45°		45°

'''Reverse:''' A vehicle with good maneuverability can expend 5 feet of movement to spend the rest of its movement going in reverse.

'''Turn:''' How much the vehicle can turn after covering the stated distance.

'''Turn in Place:''' A vehicle with good or average maneuverability can "spend" some of its speed to turn in place.

'''Maximum Turn:''' How much the vehicle can turn in any one round.

 '''TABLE VM-3: VEHICLE FLIGHT MOVEMENT'''
 
 			'''Perfect		Good		Average		Poor		Clumsy'''
 '''Min Forward Spd'''		None		None		Half		Half		Half
 '''Hover'''			Yes		Yes		No		No		No
 '''Fly Backward'''		Yes		Yes		No		No		No
 '''Reverse'''			Free		-5 ft.		No		No		No
 '''Turn'''			Any		90°/10 ft.	45°/10 ft.	45°/10 ft.	45°/20 ft.
 '''Turn in Place'''		Any		+90°/-10 ft.	+45°/-10 ft.	No		No
 '''Maximum Turn'''		Any		Any		90°		45°		45°
 '''Up Angle'''		Any		Any		60°		45°		45°
 '''Up Speed'''		Full		Half		Half		Half		Quarter
 '''Down Angle'''		Any		Any		Any		45°		45°
 '''Down Speed'''		Double		Double		Double		Double		Double
 '''Between Up and Down'''	0 ft.		0 ft.		5 ft.		10 ft.		20 ft.

'''Min Foward Spd:''' If a flying vehicle fails to maintain its minimum forward speed, it must land at the end of its movement. If it is too high above the ground to land, it falls straight down, descending 200 feet in the first round of falling. If this distance brings it to the ground, it takes falling damage. If the fall doesn't bring the vehicle to the ground, the pilot must spend his next turn recovering from the stall. The pilot must succeed at a Pilot skill check (DC 20) to recover. Otherwise it falls another 1000 feet. If the vehicle hits the ground, it takes falling damage. Otherwise, the pilot has another chance to recover on his next turn.

'''Hover:''' The ability to stay in one place while airborne.

'''Fly Backward:''' The ability to fly backward.

'''Reverse:''' A vehicle with good maneuverability can expend 5 feet of movement to spend the rest of its movement going in reverse.

'''Turn:''' How much the vehicle can turn after covering the stated distance.

'''Turn in Place:''' A vehicle with good or average maneuverability can "spend" some of its speed to turn in place.

'''Maximum Turn:''' How much the vehicle can turn in any one round.

'''Up Angle:''' The maximum angle at which a flying vehicle can climb.

'''Up Speed:''' How fast a flying vehicle can climb.

'''Down Angle:''' The maximum angle at which a flying vehicle can descend.

'''Down Speed:''' A flying vehicle can fly down at twice its normal flying speed.

'''Between Up & Down:''' An average, poor, or clumsy flying vehicle must fly level for a minimum distance after descending and before climbing. Any flying vehicle can begin descending after a climb without an intervening distance.
