Defense

A vehicle’s operator may maneuver
evasively to avoid attacks on his vehi-
cle. Treat this as a dodge; see Dodging
(p. 374). A vehicle’s Dodge score is
(operator’s control skill/2) + vehicle’s
Handling, rounded down. For exam-
ple, a biker with Driving (Motorcycle)-
14 on a motorcycle with Handling +1
has a Dodge of 14/2 + 1 = 8.
The GM may require Dodge rolls to
avoid other hazards, such as baby car-
riages and potholes, or to maneuver
through tight spots. These could be
instead of control rolls, or to avoid dis-
aster after failed control rolls!
Occupants who are free to move
(not strapped in, etc.) may dodge
attacks specifically targeted on them,
but they get no defense against stray
shots or attacks that penetrate the
vehicle and go on to strike them.
