On another note related to vehicles: what is the relationship between Maneuver and Handling?
So with the chariot example: would the net bonus/penalty to the Drive skill check be +10% (Maneuver = -5% and Handling = 15)?
On p.216 it says to add/subtract the Handling modifer for the vehicle from the character's appropriate skill.
On p. 265, it says that this modifier is applied to your character's skill.
Why is Maneuver expressed as a percentage and Handling just a number?
Why have two vehicle attributes that serve the same function?
I am confuzzled
I would surely appreciate some incite into these vehicle attributes and there applications.
I know that I am probably missing something simple with this and the MOV attrubute for creatures and vehicles. I will probably look like an idiot when someone points out the simple and obvious answer.
But, let's assume I am an idiot and use me as measuring stick for a newbie picking their first RPG book, and it happens to be the new BRP.
