LARA Vehicle Combat Rules

VEHICLE COMBAT

At the beginning of chase combat every vehicle make a manoeuvre roll (2d6 +  drive skill + vehicle's Move bonus) trying to get better position. Loser gets a +1 bonus for the next manoeuvre rolls and it is cumulative until he wins. You can represent that +1 as tokens or coins for easy reference.
The winner picks one of the options below:

ATTACK Player rolls 2d6 + gunner skill + vehicle's Combat bonus. If the result is equal or higher than target’s DEF, the attack hits. Roll weapon damage and apply it to target’s HP.

CLOSE Player move close to target vehicle. If he wins manoeuvre roll next turn he can RAM the target vehicle or attack using PERSONAL WEAPON to occupant.

DISENGAGED Player disengaged from chasing. If he wins manoeuvre rolls next turn he can ESCAPE.

ESCAPE Player escape from the chase.

RAM You ram target vehicle! Roll d6 equal to your vehicle's Physical and apply it to target vehicle’s HP. While, target vehicle rolls d6 half his vehicle's Physical score and apply it to your vehicle's HP. If you wins manoeuvre rolls next turn, you can RAM once more.

PERSONAL WEAPON Make an attack roll. Victim must be in target vehicle car and he received DEF bonus of the vehicle he is in when attacked.

When the winner had taken his turn, all vehicle make manoeuvre roll once again. Repeat until one side loses.

WHAT HAPPEN WHEN YOUR VEHICLE HIT ZERO HP?
When that happens, someone (usually the driver) make a 1d6 roll on the Oh, My Vehicle! table below.

Oh, My Vehicle! Table
Roll	Result
1	Vehicle blows up destroying everything including the occupant.
2	Vehicle blows up dealing 8d6 damage to all occupant. Vehicle cannot be repaired.
3	Vehicle blows up dealing 6d6 damage to all occupant. Vehicle can be repaired. Combat, Move and Physical are reduced by 1 permanently.

Something awesome came up in Brian's blog. It's the LARA system Random Alien Generation Charts! It's so that you can make random alien on the fly or get inspired by it or both! I am going to run Starfarers Kosmos with these tables. Go there now! It's a plus with Pete's artwork. I love his work.

Food for Savage Flower Kingdom part 2 of 2

The picture above is what happened when you failed your cooking. While that give you as minimum of 1 HP if consume, it also have 1 in 6 chances to make the consumer sick. Brian really completes the article with part 2 of Food for Savage Flower Kingdom.

note: I also like that he mentioned that Savage Flower Kingdom is a bright and colorful place with beautiful food, weird monsters, and where the two should meet: strange but magical gourmet creations. I seriously say this, that I had imagine Savage Flower Kingdom to be like that!
