Experimental Rules #1 - Motorcycles
🕑 Added 2020-03-19 09:01:01 +0000 UTCOne thing I agonised over for the rules, early in the development process, was the inclusion of motorcycles. In the end, I decided that, whilst X Team probably used them to get around, they were unlikely to ride them into an actual combat area.
However, I have a few experimental rules that I'd like to share with patrons, exclusively, to try out and, seeing as Anvil Industry just released these rather nice motorcycles (available with and without rider), I thought I'd share the simple experimental rules for anyone who wants to give them a try. Let me know what you think!
Motorcycle (Upgrade/Gadget)
Almost unheard-of on Venus and rare on Mars, motorcycles are a popular form of short-range personal transport on Earth that were adopted enthusiastically by X Teams looking for a rapid form of transport in the broken urban terrain. Electric drives make them virtually silent. Most X Teams leave motorcycles at the RV and proceed to objectives on foot, but a few expert riders - especially amongst Terran activists - use them to close rapidly with enemy forces or an objective.
A hero on a motorcycle is Cyl 4. A motorcycle cannot be used by a character with AV4+ or by a synthetic drone. A hero on a motorcycle cannot make cautious moves or climb (they can jump up/down and across). They can make urgent moves and do not become stunned at the end of them.
A hero may dismount from a motorcycle at the start of any movement action (including cautious move). Leave a 40mm base as the marker for the motorcycle. Another hero may ride the motorcycle if it has been left as a marker.
Mounting a motorcycle requires an A(13) test if the hero mounting it is not the one who was originally equipped with it.

Heroforge also gives the option if having a character on a motorbike, I like the idea of having options for a character to be mounted or dismounted..
