topacesteve 58 Posted June 9, 2018 Hello, i was wondering why didn't the vehicles Shortcut Action (where Opposing Piloting check is included) appear in the AoR Core Rulebooks list of Vehicle Actions? Is it replaced by the Chase , thus transforming it into a Free Action? Because in Chase you only make Piloting Checks without spending actions Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tramp Graphics 2,326 Posted June 9, 2018 Shortcut isn’t an action. It’s a talent, and a passive one at that, which grants additional boost dice to your checks to either evade or catch up to your opponent during a chase. The Improved version of the talent adds automatic successes instead as an incidental. 1 topacesteve reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
topacesteve 58 Posted June 15, 2018 In the Beginner game, it is introduced as an Action where an Opposed Piloting Check is made between the two pilots (PCs and Sarev escaping) thus my confusion Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GM Fred 180 Posted June 16, 2018 Yes, the Shortcut Action of the Beginner Game is basically replaced by the Chase Rules. I'm afb, but wasn't the Shortcut Action of the Beginner Game just an opposed piloting roll? You can still have them in situations where you don't want to have a big chase scene, since in the full rules opposed checks are still available and important.
