====== Dogfighter (Advanced Class) ======


Anyone who manages to survive that first terrifying thrill of blasting into space in the minuscule cockpit of an ultralight fighter can develop a lifelong love for it. Dogfighters are usually thrill-seekers and hotshots, but they're also extremely good at what they do. If they've survived long enough to log a dozen missions, they're probably among the best pilots in the galaxy. Dogfighters revel in the feeling of power they get from being at the controls of an armed rocket, and they know just how to make that rocket do exactly what they want it to.

Select this advanced class if you want your character to be an astrogatin', battleship-hatin' fighter jockey instead of just a glorified cropduster.

The fastest path into this advanced class is from the [[Fast (Character Class)|Fast]] hero basic class. though other paths are certainly possible.

==== Defender of the Universe ====
Starting at 2nd level, a Dogfighter applies his Reputation bonus to the die result whenever he spends an action point to modify an attack roll, skill check, ability check, or saving throw made aboard a starship.

==== Shake, Rattle, and Roll ====
At 4th level, a Dogfighter learns how rock an enemy starship with weapons fire. The Dogfighter must declare that he is using this ability before making the attack roll (thus, a failed attack roll ruins the attempt). A starship damaged by the Dogfighter's attack is shaken for 1 round; all passengers and crew members (pilots and gunners included) aboard the shaken ship take a -2 penalty on attack rolls, saving throws, and skill checks for 1 round.
A Dogfighter may use this ability once per day at 4th level, twice per day at 7th level, and three times per day at 10th level.

==== To the MAX! ====
At 5th level and beyond, a Dogfighter can coax more thrust out of a ship's engines, increasing its tactical speed by +500 feet. The Dogfighter must be piloting the ship to increase its tactical speed.

==== Keep it Together ====
At 8th level, a Dogfighter can continue to operate a starship even after it has been reduced to negative hit points and has begun breaking apart. The ship may take one move action or one attack action each round. How-ever, the ship cannot be repaired and continues to lose 1 hit point per round, exploding once it reaches its destruction threshold. The Dogfighter and all other personnel aboard the ship are considered shaken, taking a -2 penalty on attack rolls, saving throws, and skill checks.
