Movement

Here's the basic run-down on Movement:

• Walking = 7 yards / turn.

• Jogging = (12 + Dexterity) in yards/turn

• Running = [20 + (3 x Dexterity)] in yards/turn.

• Characters may move half their maximum running speed and still attack or perform another action in a turn. If attempting to act at the same time as moving, each yard moved costs 1 die from the dice pool.

• If Injured, Halve maximum running speed.

• If Wounded, you may only move OR attack in a turn. Doing both reduces dice pools (-1 die per yard moved).

• If Mauled, movement is reduced to hobbling around (3 yards/turn)

• If Crippled, you can only crawl about (1 yard/turn)

• If Incapacitated you can't move at all.

Vehicle movement

Driving [Dexterity/Wits + Drive]: A Drive roll isn’t needed to steer a vehicle under normal circumstances, assuming your character has at least one dot in the Drive Skill. That said, bad weather, the vehicle’s speed, obstacles, and complex maneuvers can challenge even the most competent drivers. Specific difficulties based on these circumstances are up to the Storyteller, but should increase as the conditions become more hazardous.

 

Driving in heavy rain is +1 difficulty, but going fast while also trying to lose pursuers increases the difficulty to +3. Similarly, maneuvering in heavy traffic is +1, but doing so at a breakneck pace while avoiding pursuit bumps the difficulty to +3. A failed roll indicates trouble, requiring an additional roll to avoid crashing or losing control. Characters in control of a vehicle, and who have no dots in the Drive Skill, need a roll for almost every change in course or procedure. On a botch, the vehicle may spin out of control or worse.

 

For every 10 miles or 15 kilometers per hour over the safe driving speed of a vehicle, the difficulty of any maneuver is increased by one. Exceedingly challenging stunts and bad road conditions should also increase the difficulty accordingly. The maximum number of dice a driver can have in her dice pool when driving is equal to the maneuver rating of the vehicle.
