Note that a vehicle being "yours" in terms of game mechanics and a vehicle being "yours" in terms of the legal system in the game's campaign world are not the same thing. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Unfamiliar Controls:** If you don't have the relevant class or one or more of the abilities in it for the vehicle you're stealing, you must spend 1 Supply/Mojo Catcher use per missing ability per session until you ditch it. For example, if you do not have the Sailor class at all and you steal a boat from a creature with the Sailor class and the Pumps and Shipwright abilities, you've got to spend 3 Supply/Mojo Catcher uses per session to make use of the stolen boat in order to make up for your own nautical shortcomings. If you have the Sailor class but have learned different abilities than the original owner, you still have to spend 2 Supply/Mojo Catcher uses per session. Features of your stolen vehicle that depend on Mechanic abilities add to this cost for every Mechanic ability you're missing as well, but you can choose to strip off unwanted Mechanic-added abilities to avoid having to pay for them if you want. |

+^  Sidebar: Looting  ^
+|When treasure and other valuable rewards need to be generated on the fly, the referee may call for a looting roll. This most often happens when you're going through the pockets of a defeated foe and helping yourself to the contents. You can roll once per 5 levels of a defeated creature and get everything that comes up (so creatures of level 1-4 never yield any loot, but creatures of level 5-9 give one loot roll, level 10-14 give two loot rolls, and so on). \\ \\ Looting rolls are not trigger dice and thus cannot have their values changed by any archetype that alters the result of trigger dice. What you roll is what you get, period. |
