Vehicles can be anything from a pirate ship to a fighter jet. Similar to the way any character can be made with the right combination of Attributes any Vehicle can be made with the Vehicle creation rules.
In combat Vehicles act differently than combat between Creatures. In Vehicle combat each Round is Broken up into multiple phases with every Vehicle completing that phase before moving to the next phase. If Vehicles are in combat with Creatures the entire Vehicle Round occurs after the Creatures Round.
Vehicles are often Immune to many conditions that affect Creatures, such as Flat Footed, Flanked, Bleeding, Blind, Dead, Shaken, Grappled, Incapacitated, Poisoned, Prone, Slowed, Stunned, or Unconscious. These conditions can still Effect crew members of the Vehicle though. Other conditions like Seen, Concealed, Hidden, Undetected, Destroyed, On fire (Effects 1 Quadrant), Line of Effect, Entangled, or Invisible may still affect the Vehicle.
Crew - All crew members agree which station they are operating.
Initiative - All crew members Helming their Vehicles make a Helm Check to determine Turn order. If the Pilot does not have the "Helm" Skill Feat they may make a Helm Check at Disadvantage. Turn order is from lowest to highest since more skilled crews will want to position themselves based on their Enemies Actions. If no crew member is in the Helm Station the ships roll is a 0.
Power - All Vehicles Power stations act in Turn order.
Propulsion - All Vehicles Propulsion stations act in Turn order.
Helm - All Vehicles Helm stations act in Turn order.
Weapon - All Vehicles Weapon stations act. This happens simultaneously and Damage is not dealt until the Damage phase.
Damage - Damage is taken based on the hits from the Weapon phase. Damage Effects are Determined for all Vehicles.
Basic Statistics
Similar to the way Creatures can shape their abilities by allocating their Attributes and choosing Feats, Vehicles are shaped by the way their build points are spent.
| Vehicle Level | Build Points |
| 1 | 13 |
| 2 | 16 |
| 3 | 19 |
| 4 | 22 |
| 5 | 25 |
| 6 | 28 |
| 7 | 31 |
| 8 | 34 |
| 9 | 37 |
| 10 | 40 |
The primary use of build points is on the Vehicles basic statistics like Size, Material, Propulsion, Maneuverability, and Power.
Size - determines how big the Vehicle it is. The more Size the larger the crew and the more HP it will have, but it will also make the Vehicle slower.
Material - is how tough the Vehicle is. Better Material means that the Vehicle will have more HP and be less likely to have systems Damaged when under fire.
Propulsion - is how fast the Vehicle can Move. This is important for covering ground quickly and dodging Enemy Attacks, but makes the Vehicle harder to handle.
Maneuverability - determines how Agile the Vehicle is. This increases both the Movement Points of the Vehicle as well as reduces it's Turn Cost.
Power - represents the extra Energy the Vehicle has. This can be used to temporarily improve the Vehicles Performance or Power Weapons and Shields.
| Cost | Size | Material | Propulsion | Maneuverability | Power |
| 0 | - | - | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| 1 | - | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| 2 | 2 (Large) | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 |
| 3 | - | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 |
| 4 | 4 (Huge) | 4 | 4 | 4 | 4 |
| 5 | - | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 |
| 6 | 6 (Gargantuan) | 6 | 6 | 6 | 6 |
| 7 | - | 7 | 7 | 7 | 7 |
| 8 | 8 (Colossal) | 8 | 8 | 8 | 8 |
| 9 | - | 9 | 9 | 9 | 9 |
| 10 | 10 (Titanic) | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 |
Build points can also be used to purchase abilities for the Vehicle. It is necessary for the Vehicle to take at least one Type of movement to be useful.
| Ability | Cost | Description |
| Ground Surface Movement | 1 | The vehicle can move along the surface of the ground at the vehicles speed |
| Water Surface Movement | 1 | The vehicle can move along the surface of the water at the vehicles speed |
| Underwater Movement | 2 | The vehicle can move underwater or along the water's surface at half the vehicles speed |
| Underground Movement | 3 | The vehicle can move underground or along the ground's surface at half the vehicles speed |
| Air Movement | 3 | The vehicle can move through the air at twice the vehicles speed, but must move forward at least once per round |
| Hover | 1 | The vehicle no longer needs to move forward when flying |
| Turret | 1 | The vehicle has a turret weapon that can fire into any quadrant |
| Cloaking | 3 | A crew member at the Power Station may spend 2 Vehicle Energy to activate cloaking. This makes the vehicle invisible or changes its appearance for 1 hour. The Vehicles must make a spell attack is (d20+Vehicle Level+Power) against creatures helming other nearby vehicles. On a success the Vehicle is cloaked, on a failure the other vehicles see through the illusion. Attacking ends the effects of cloaking. |
| Shields | 4 | The Vehicle gains regenerative shielding. These shields can be regenerated using the vehicles power station. |
| Teleportation | 10 | A crew member in the Propulsion Station may spend 5 Vehicle Eenergy to teleport the vehicle to a location within 10000000 ft (Approx. 2000 miles) |
The Vehicles Size determines its Quadrant Base HP and Max Crew as shown on the table below. Larger Vehicles may even be able to carry smaller Vehicles as cargo.
| Size | Space | Max Height | Quadrant Base HP | Max Crew | Max Passengers | Cargo | Example | Description |
| Large | 10 | 16 | 8 | 1 | 1 | small object | Motorcycle | Just big enough to fit the pilot and maybe someone holding on to them |
| Huge | 20 | 32 | 16 | 2 | 2 | medium object | Car | Seats 4, you could live in there if you needed |
| Gargantuan | 40 | 64 | 32 | 4 | 4 | large object | Millennium falcon | Just big enough for a few people to live there |
| Colossal | 80 | 128 | 64 | 8 | 8 | huge object | Firefly | Comfortable for a small crew |
| Titanic | 160 | 256 | 128 | 16 | 16 | gargantuan object | Star Wars Blockade runner | Comfortable for a full crew |
Based on the stats and abilities purchased with the Vehicles build points the remainder of the Vehicles necessary statistics can be calculated.
Each Quadrant of the Vehicle (Fore, Aft, Starboard, Port) has its own HP. If any one Quadrant of a Vehicle reaches 0 HP the Vehicle is wrecked and cannot function.
Quadrant HP is equal to Quadrant Base HP*(Material+Vehicle Level)
When a Vehicle moves or Turns it must spend Movement Points to do so. Spending a point of movement allows a Vehicle to Move forward at its Speed and spending points equal to the Vehicles Turn Cost allows it to Turn 45 degrees.
Movement Points is equal to Propulsion+Maneuverability+Vehicle Level-Size (Minimum 0)
Similar to Creatures a Vehicles Physical Defense is used as the DC for Attacks made against it. Because Vehicles are so Large they often have lower Physical Defense than Creatures, but can make up for this in other ways.
The Physical Defense of the Vehicle is equal to 10+Propulsion+Vehicle Level-Size
Vehicle Energy, like Energy a Creature has, is used to fuel additional Effects like temporarily boosting the Vehicles Speed, or firing a powerful Weapon, but it cannot have more Energy than its Max Vehicle Energy at any given time.
Max Vehicle Energy is equal to Power+Vehicle Level
Every Turn a Vehicle generates Vehicle Energy equal to its Power. If the Vehicle has 0 Power Vehicle Energy can only be generated by a crew member at the Power station using their Action to "Push Generator".
Vehicle Energy gained each Round is equal to Power
If a Vehicle has Shields they can have additional Shield HP in each Quadrant.
The maximum Shield HP for each Quadrant is equal to (Power+Vehicle Level)*Power
Whenever a Vehicle moves it moves forward equal to its Speed. For Vehicles with high Propulsion this may mean that they can Move incredibly quickly, but that it is hard to Move precisely without using the "Move with Precision" Helm Action.
The Speed of a Vehicle is 10*Propulsion ft
For a Vehicle to Turn 45 degrees it must spend Movement Points equal to its Turn Cost. Larger Vehicles may take several Rounds to completely Turn around, while smaller more maneuverable Vehicles are able to Turn at little or no cost.
The Turn Cost of a Vehicle is (Speed+Size-Maneuverability)/2 (Minimum 0)
Stations
Each station on a Vehicle allows the user to serve a different function. Only one crew member can Helm the Vehicle or operate a specific Weapon during a Round, but there may be multiple crew members using the Power or Propulsion stations at the same time.
Certain Actions at each station may require the crew member to make a special Type of Check. To take that Action the crew member must have the relevant Skill Feat.
| Check Type | Requirement | Roll |
| Helm Check | Requires "Helm" skill feat | d20+DEX+Character Level |
| Repair Check | Requires "Mechanic" skill feat | d20+MND+Character Level |
| Power Check | Requires "Artificer" feat | d20+ESS+Character Level |
Every Vehicle has 1 Helm. The Helm is the station used to Pilot the Vehicle.
| Action | Description | |
| Move Quickly | The Vehicle can move an additional number of Movement Points equal to your Helm Check/5 | |
| Move Evasively | The Vehicle moves and gains a bonus to Physical Defense based equal to your Helm Check/5. | |
| Move with Precision | The Vehicle moves up to its Movement Points, but can move less than it's speed if you choose. | |
| Move and Fire | The Vehicle moves and fires at a target in the forward quadrant with the Helm's weapon with Disadvantage on the attack. | |
| Move and Scan | The Vehicle moves and all illusions (such as invisible creatures or vehicles) in your area must make another spell attack against your mental defense. |
The Vehicle can have as many Weapons as the crew Size allows. A Vehicle can have Weapons in each Quadrant up to 1/4 the number of crew members. A Vehicle can have one Turret Weapon. Weapons in the turret position can target any Quadrant.
| Action | Description | |
| Fire | The Vehicle fires using the weapon mounted at this station on a target in the appropriate quadrant | |
| Target | You aim the weapon giving it advantage on it's next attack | |
| Repair | You makes a repair check. On a success the weapon is repaired one step. | |
| Use Hatch | You act as you normally would on your turn if you were not in a vehicle. You can still only target things outside the vehicle in your Quadrants projected view. (this allows you to use your own weapons or spells in place of the ships or to take any other actions you may want) |
The Vehicle can have as many Propulsion stations as the crew Size allows, although it is common to only have one or two.
| Action | Description | |
| Boost Speed | You spend Vehicle Energy up to your repair check/5 to increase the vehicle's speed by 10 ft per point of Vehicle Energy spent this way for the rest of the round. | |
| Boost Maneuverability | You spend Vehicle Energy up to your repair check/5. For the rest of the round the vehicles Turn Cost is reduced by 1 for each point spent this way. | |
| Reverse | For the rest of the round the ship moves as if it were facing the opposite direction. | |
| Power Weapons | You spend Vehicle Energy up to your repair check/5 to increase the the damage of a weapon stations next attack by 10 for each Vehicle Energy spent this way. If the attack deals enough damage to another Vehicle to damage one of its stations the crew member using the weapon may decide what is affected. | |
| Repair | You make a repair check. On a success the Propulsion station is repaired one step. | |
| Prime Teleport | You spend the Vehicle Energy required to teleport the ship. This is clearly visible to other nearby ships. The Vehicle can teleport next round. | |
| Teleport | You activate the vehicles teleportation and travel to a destination within range. The vehicle must have Primed Teleport the previous round. |
The Vehicle can have as many Propulsion stations as the crew Size allows, although it is common to only have one or two.
| Action | Description | |
| Charge Shields | You spend Vehicle Energy up to your Power check/5 to charge the shields for 10 times the amount of Vehicle Energy spent divided evenly between the 4 quadrants as you choose. | |
| Rebalance Shields | You redistribute the shields between the quadrants. | |
| Push Shields | You spend Vehicle Energy equal to your Power check/5 to charge the shields of one quadrant for 20 times the amount of Vehicle Energy spent. For the rest of this round that quadrant's Max Quadrant Shield is doubled. | |
| Activate Cloaking | You spend Vehicle Energy to cloak the vehicle for the next 100 minutes. This can cause the vehicle to look like another object or be invisible entirely. If the vehicle fires the duration ends. | |
| Push Generator | You generate Vehicle Energy equal to your Power check/5. | |
| Repair | You makes a repair check. On a success the Power Station is repaired one step. |
Movement
When moving the crew member operating the Helm can spend the Vehicles Movement Points each Round to reposition the Vehicle. If they choose they may not spend all of the Movement Points.
They can spend 1 point to Move forward a distance equal to its Speed. Vehicles only Move forward unless a crew member at the Propulsion station uses the "Reverse" Action. The Vehicle cannot Move less than it's Speed unless the crew member a the Helm used the "Move with Precision" Action.
They can spend Movement Points equal to the Turn Cost to Turn the Vehicle 45 degrees. Turning costs 1 additional point for every time the Vehicle turned before this without moving.
When you Damage a Vehicle you do Damage to the same Quadrant of the Vehicle you would be targeted by. Damage taken is first delt to that Quadrants Shields, and then the Quadrant of the Vehicle itself. If a Quadrant has 0HP the Vehicle is wrecked and can only be repaired by paying for materials equal to 1/4 of the Vehicles worth. If multiple Quadrants are brought to 0 HP they must be repaired separately.
When a Vehicle (not its Shields) takes Damage there is a chance a station could be Damaged. A number of stations equal to the Damage to the Quadrant that Round / Damage Threshold rounded down are Damaged.
To determine what station is Damaged roll a d3. If the station that would be Damaged does not exist or is already Destroyed nothing happens. When a station is effected it first becomes "Damaged", then if affected again becomes "Broken", and finally "Destroyed".
| d4 roll | Station | ||
| 1 | Power | ||
| 2 | Propulsion | ||
| 3 | Turret Weapon | ||
| 4 | A random weapon in the quadrant that took the damage |
| Status | Repair DC | Effect |
| Damaged | 10+Vehicle Level | The Max Vehicle Energy is reduced by 5 to a minimum of 0 and Max Quadrant Shield is reduced by 50 to a minimum of 0 |
| Broken | 15+Vehicle Level | Energy Generation is reduced to 0 |
| Destroyed | 25+Vehicle Level | All shields drop to 0. You cannot Charge Shields, Rebalance Shields, or Push Generator |
| Status | Repair DC | Effect |
| Damaged | 10+Vehicle Level | Movement Points is reduced by 3 to a minimum of 0 |
| Broken | 15+Vehicle Level | Movement Points is reduced by 6 to a minimum of 0 |
| Destroyed | 25+Vehicle Level | The ship cannot move |
| Status | Repair DC | Effect |
| Damaged | 10+Vehicle Level | The weapon has Disadvantage on attack rolls |
| Broken | 15+Vehicle Level | The weapon cannot be used |
| Destroyed | - | The weapon is completely destroyed. It must be replaced with a new weapon. |
A Vehicle may have any number of Weapons, but since each crew member can only crew one Weapon at a time it is rarely useful to have more than a few Weapons in each Quadrant. When firing a Weapon it can only Attack targets visible to that Quadrant of the ship. A turret Weapon can fire at targets in any Quadrant, but is also more likely to be Damaged.
Non Magical Weapons function as Heavy Weapons dealing 3 times normal Damage (since they only get 1 Action a Round). Attacks are made using the crew members Ranged Attack Bonus, but Damage is Determined based on the minimum Strength and Level a Vehicle that Size would have if it were a Creature.
Similar to Non-Magical Weapons, Magical Weapons deal 3 times the normal amount of Damage. The Vehicle Energy cost to use a Weapon is 2 less Energy than Casting the Spell normally. The emanation point of a targeted Area may not be inside another Vehicle. For example if a character were to Cast a fireball with a Range of 1000 ft and an instantaneous Duration that delt3d10 Fire Damage in a 20ft diameter it would normally cost 9 Energy. A Vehicle Weapon using the same Spell would deal 9d10 Fire Damage and cost 7 Vehicle Energy. These Weapons are often more expensive than Non-Magical Weapons, and cost a Large amount of Energy to use, but can be incredibly powerful as they can Damage all Quadrant of the Enemy Vehicle that are partially within the Area. This means that multiple Quadrants can be Damaged at once, including Quadrants that would normally be shielded from Damage.

Collisions
If a Vehicle is driven into another Object as part of its movement both Objects take Damage as if the smaller of the two had fallen a distance equal to the Vehicles Speed.
This can be used offensively to hit other Creatures and Vehicles. To collide with a Creature or Vehicle the crew member in the Helm station must use the "Move and fire Action" using a Helm Check as their Attack roll against the targets Physical Defense. On a miss the Creature or Vehicle being targeted is able to get out of the way in time. On a hit the collision Damage occurs during the Damage phase.
