This is an old revision of the document!
Take it from me: not every skipper is, shall we say, managerial material. The smartest ones know how to delegate the actual business of running things to somebody else more competent, and the dumb ones generally don't. The dumbest ones of all delegate running things to me, which is why I'm re-delegating to you.
Starbucks are of moderate use on small personal vehicles, but become indispensable on larger affairs with huge numbers of crew, passengers and cargo to keep track of. Starbuck can be combined with another class that actually provides a vehicle such as Driver or Sailor if desired, but this isn't necessarily required if somebody else in your party already has a vehicle for you to step in and manage.

Starbuck
| Utility | plus-circleFirst Mate's Burden: You are an excellent steward and manager of vehicle operations. When riding on a vehicle, the crew requirements of that vehicle are reduced to that of a vehicle one size category smaller. Crew requirements cannot be reduced below 1 (every vehicle still needs a pilot). plus-circleLevel-Scaling: The crew-reducing effects of Starbuck increase with higher level. Affected vehicles are treated as one size smaller than they actually are for crew purposes for every five levels the Starbuck has. minus-circleToo Many Cooks: Multiple Starbucks do not give stacking bonuses no matter how many there are on board. |
|
|---|---|---|
Cargomaster
| Utility | plus-circleEfficient Packing: Any vehicle you are riding in can carry weight as if it was one size category larger than it actually is thanks to your knowledge of packing, storage, and balance. | |
|---|---|---|
| Utility | plus-circleSmuggler's Hold: When carrying a load that does not exceed your vehicle's usual limit, you can store it in a way that hides it completely from all but the most determined inspectors. Effects that reveal secret doors or hidden spaces might still find your secrets, but nothing else will. | |
Emergency Protocol
| Protection | plus-circleNot On My Watch: You know how to respond to vehicular emergencies quickly and decisively. If a vehicle fails to recover from a condition it is suffering from at the end of a round, you can spend one Supply to remove the condition anyway. | |
|---|---|---|
| Protection | plus-circleRolling Repair: You can repair a point of Vitality to a vehicle you're riding in as a single action instead of requiring a few minutes of work. plus-circleSupply Cost: Repairing lost Vitality still costs Supply on a 1-for-1 basis. Only the time requirement is reduced. doubledSecondary Repair: If you are riding in an aircraft from the Aviator class whose owner knows the Flight Patches ability, repairing a lost point of Vitality also removes one point of Tatter with no additional cost in time or Supply. |
|
Fuelmeister
| Utility | plus-circleMobile Depot: You can purchase Fuel items anywhere and at any time, not just in settlements and civilized areas. minus-circleStandard Price: Purchasing a Fuel item still costs a point of Supply as normal. |
|
|---|---|---|
| Utility | plus-circleDouble Guzzaline: You can store two Fuel items in a single inventory slot. | |
Navigator
| Movement | plus-circleRoute Plotting: By paying meticulous attention to maps and taking frequent measurements of location, you greatly increase the traveling efficiency of the vehicle you are riding on. The vehicle's traveling speed in regions per day is increased by one step on the 1→ 2→ 5→ 10→ 20→ 50→ 100→ etc scale. | |
|---|---|---|
Rationing
| Utility | plus-circleMess Supply: A vehicle acts as a mobile storehouse, multiplying your resources. When you test a Rations item or spend a point of Supply to feed yourself for a day, you also feed every crew member and passenger that is riding on the same vehicle with you for free. | |
|---|---|---|
| Utility | plus-circleFuel Efficiency: When you test a Fuel item to supply your vehicle for a day, it gets consumed on a result of 1-3 instead of 1-6. minus-circleVehicles Only: Fuel used for any other reason (such as to feed a creature with the Synthetic weakness) is unaffected by this ability and gets consumed on a 1-6 as normal. |
