Use this skill to drive a general-purpose plane-tary surface vehicle, to avoid collisions, or to lose someone chasing or tailing you while you’re operating a vehicle. Check: Routine tasks, such as ordinary driving, don’t require a skill check. Make a check only when some unusual circumstance exists (such as inclement weather or a slip-pery surface), or when you are driving during a dramatic situation under stress (such as in vehicle combat or a high-speed chase). When driving, you can attempt simple maneuvers or stunts. See Chapter 13: Starships and Travel for more details. Try Again?: Most Driving checks have consequences for failure that make trying again impossible. Special: You can take 10 when driving, but you can’t take 20. A character with the Vehicle Expert feat gets a +2 bonus on all Drive checks. There is no penalty for operating a general-purpose vehicle untrained. Other types of vehicles (heavy wheeled, powerboat, sailboat, marine ship, and tracked) require the corresponding Surface Vehicle Operation feat, or you take a –4 penalty on Drive checks. Time: A Drive check is generally a move action. @skills @dexbased
