Transportation

This section is dedicated to personal modes of transportation. This includes everything from a horse and carriage to hover boards. However this does not include Mechs or Space Ships.

Personal Transportation

Walking/Swimming/Climbing

Simply put the old fashion way. Manual propulsion through space/time. In combat a character is already in a state of a x2 run speed of 30ft per 3 seconds. There is also a sprint speed of x3 which takes a full round action. And if the character has the skill their sprint speed can be x4. However this means that the average speed of a character not in combat is 15ft per 3 seconds. Also the speed of a character can be slower faster based on there species.

Climbing and Swimming are all 1/2 a characters walking speed unless specified otherwise.

Walking across rough terrain or unfavorable conditions can also slow down a parties movement. Say you are stuck on an alien world that is abnormally hot for your species. This may not slow down your character immediately so it doesn't count against movement speed while in combat. However the hot weather does account for the other all speed of a long trip. (Long being anything an hour or more).

In combat the terrain is made up of 5ft squares and not all squares may be considered unfavorable. The GM has to announce if the players are going to cross terrain that is unfavorable or rough. Normally a unfavorable or rough terrain block costs twice the movement the character has. A 5ft block now takes 10ft of movement for a character to transfers. If the character attempts to run across an that terrain they have to take an Acrobatics skill check of DC12 (up to the GM on the level of difficulty) or else trip and fall. Same goes for Climbing. However in Swimming it becomes a Str check.

Below is a table to help show movement over time based on character speed.

Riding an Animal

Animals are a low tech solution to being able to go further other time. They are great if you do not have much in the means of advance technologies to help pave the way. They are also great a carrying things.

The carrying capacity of an animal is based on the Strength of the animal. If the animal is burdened with extra load it will travel slower. Below is a table using the horses as an example:

Table: Horse Mount

Horse (carrying load)	Per Hour	Per Day
Light horse	5 miles	40 miles
Light horse(175-525 lbs.)	~3.5 miles	28 miles
Heavy horse	5 miles	40 miles
Heavy horse(229-690 lbs.)	~3.5 miles	28 miles
Pony	4 miles	32 miles
Pony(151-300 lbs.)	3 miles	24 miles
Cart or Wagon	2 miles	16 miles

Driving/Riding a Vehicle

This is a wide range of vehicles for most Tech Level ~0 to ~1ish Civilizations.

Boats/Ships

To drive a Boat or Ship requires the Drive skill. Driving may be intuitive for a motor vehicle but it is not with boats and sailing ships. The skill is required if the character is to attempt to drive anything Sea/floating related or else suffer a Major (-4) disadvantage when doing the skill check. This includes hybrid vehicles such as a hover craft.

Below is an example table for different boats.

Table: Boats and Ships

Ship Size	Avg. Speed	Cost
Sail Boat Small(6 person)	5 knots	$1,0000/2,500
Sail Boat Medium(12 person)	5 knots	$20,000/30,000
Sail Boat Large(24 person)	5 knots	$65,000/75,000
Motor Boat Small(~6 person)	40 knots	$10,000
Speed Boat Small(~4 person)	70 knots	$100,000
Cruisers Boat Medium(~12 persons)	30 knots	$80,000/110,000
Yacht Boat Small(6-8 persons)	5/30 knots	$200,000/300,000
Yacht Boat Medium(9-12 persons)	5/30 knots	$450,000/2,000,000
Yacht Boat Large(12+ persons)	4/30 knots	$4,000,000/10,000,000

Motor Vehicles

These are vehicles that generally stay on the ground of a planet. Although hybrid version of these vehicles can float and even fly the basic principle ferrying persons from one point to another usually within a short (short being relative to the species and there technical level) distance. Longer distances would normally require a more powerful vehicle that is large enough to carry the proper amount of fuel and recourse to keep its occupants alive. Such as air and food.

Most tech level 0 too tech 1 Civilizations will likely use the invention of the wheel as a way to move across a flat service. Unless they live on a water world. Most of these vehicles will have attributes such as speed/carrying capacity and distance traveled before refueling (This can include charging). The better at any one of these things and the greater the cost and rarer the vehicle.

Below is the average options sorted by Carrying Capacity.

Table: Motor Vehicles

Carrying Capacity	Avg. Speed	Distance Traveled	Avg. Cost
1(Motor Cycle)	0-60 in 4 sec	50 Mpg	$12,000
2(Sports Car)	0-60 in 3.4sec	20 Mpg	$120,000/500,000
5(Sedan)	0-60 in 5+sec	30 Mpg	$35,000
8(Mini Van)	0-60 in 6+sec	30 Mpg	$45,000
11(Event Van)	0-60 in 7+sec	27mpg	$55,000
12+(Bus)	0-60 in 10+sec	17mpg	$100,000

Planes

These are vehicles that fly within a planets atmosphere. Some may be able to leave a planet to travel outward. However the basic idea is any vehicle with the ability to fly in a planets atmosphere is considered a plan and requires the Pilot skill to fly. A Character cannot even attempt to fly a Plane without the skill. If they do its considered an automatic failure unless they roll a natural 20 on the check. With the skill Pilot the Character does not need to do a skill check to fly a plane unless there are conditions that require checks. Such as preforming a stunt, evading an enemy, flying in unfavorable conditions or landing in unfavorable conditions.

Plans are expensive not only to own for one selves but depending on the tech level of the civilization also expensive to ride. Getting a ticket may be a one in a life time experience for some people and possibly dangerous one at that. Take Earth back in the early 1900s. Flying was a fairly new thing and most people didn't get to do it. And some that did died in the experience.

The main driver for the cost of a plane is its size. Which usually dictates how many passengers it can carry.

Table: Planes

Size	Carrying Capacity	(Procure Diff)/Cost
Private Single Engine	2/4	(0)$200,000/500,000
Twin Turbo	4/8	(0)$1/6 Million
Small Passenger Plane	12/24	(0)$22/44 Million

OLD RULES

Vehicles

All modern vehicles share similar game traits that are universal for the modern setting.

All modern vehicles use a petroleum based fuel for propulsion.

All modern vehicles use a Profession skill for a driving check.

Land - Profession: Driver

Water - Profession: Sailor

Air - Profession: Pilot

All modern vehicles are considered Facing Forward.

All modern vehicles use some form of a steering wheel as a Driving Device.

Most modern air and land vehicles have a driving space in the most forward squares. Water base vehicles are center/rear.

Most modern vehicles do not have a restriction to buy.

More information on vehicles can be found in The Pathfinder Role Playing Game: Ultimate Combat Vehicle Table

Name: Make and Model of the vehicle.

Vehicle Type: The following skills will add your skill points to the base stats for the vehicle.

Squares: The number of squares the vehicle takes up on the battle mat. A vehicle's width is always considered to be one square.

Cost: This is the purchase cost to acquire the vehicle. This number reflects the base price and doesn't include any modifier for purchasing the vehicle on the black market.

AC and Hardness: The vehicle's base Armor Class.

All vehicles also have a Hardness rating depending on type.

To calculate a vehicle's actual Armor Class, add the character's Profession (driver, pilot or sailor) modifier to the vehicle' base Armor Class.

Hit Points: The vehicle's full normal hit points. When a vehicle reaches half its hit points, it is disabled.

Base Save: The vehicle's base save modifier. All of a vehicle's saving throws (Fortitude, Reflex and Will) have the same value.

To determine a vehicle's actual saving throw modifiers, add the character's Profession (driver, pilot or sailor) modifier to this base value.

Maximum Speed: This is the fastest the vehicle can move.

CMB and CMD: This is the vehicle's base CMB and CMD.

To calculate a vehicle's actual CMB and CMD, add the character's Profession (driver, pilot or sailor) modifier to the vehicle's base Armor Class.

Acceleration: This is how fast a vehicle can increase or decrease safely in a round.

Crew: The first number lists the minimum crew complement the vehicle needs to function normally.

The second value lists the vehicle's maximum of passengers.

Cargo Capacity: The amount of cargo the vehicle is designed to carry. Many vehicles can carry extra passengers instead of cargo, but doing so is usually a cramped, uncomfortable and often unsafe experience for those passengers. As a rule of thumb, one additional passenger can be carried for each 200 pounds of unused cargo capacity.

Most new civilian cars include such standard features as air conditioning, air bags, antilock brakes, cruise control, keyless entry and an AM/FM radio with CD & MP3 players. Luxury vehicles often also include extras such as heated side mirrors, power seats, leather upholstery, sunroofs and built-in GPS navigation. In general, these luxury amenities can be added to a non- luxury car with an increase of $1000 to the vehicle's cost.

Unless otherwise noted, civilian cars provide three-quarters cover for their occupants (although passengers, who lean out of windows or sunroofs, perhaps to fire weapons, may be reduced to one-half or even one-quarter cover).

Driving a land vehicle is covered by the Profession: Driver skill. Audi R8

This is a true supercar in every sense, with a lightweight body powered by a V-10 engine. At around 550 horsepower, the quick and agile R8 is tough to keep up with. BMW 535I
