Editing F-Zero RPG/F-Zero RPG version 2 (section)

====Vehicle-Scale Rules====
During racing scenes, Rank is used to indicate each machine's
position on the track. The machine in Rank 1 is in the lead. Only one
machine may be in each rank at a time. Starting rank is determined
by machine weight. The heaviest vehicle begins the race in Rank 1
and the lightest machine is last. Move order is determined by the
rank each machine is in at the beginning of the section: the pilot
in the last rank acts first. Pilots maintain this move order for the
entire section, even if machines change ranks during the section.

When the race begins, all machines
immediately accelerate to 300 km/h. Each
machine accelerates on its own at the
beginning of each section before any Piloting
rolls are made. If a machine's current speed
falls below 300 km/h the
pilot is automatically passed by the machine
in the rank behind them and their machine
accelerates back to 300 km/h.

At the beginning of every section (including
the starting section), each pilot rolls their
Piloting skill one at a time from Rank 1
backward. Pilots who roll below the minimum
required suffer the listed failure effect. If the
pilot rolls a 1 on the die they suffer the listed
failure effect regardless of the roll's result.

Pilots must declare whether or not they are
braking before this roll is made. See Braking
and Boosting for more information.

After all Piloting rolls are made everyone still in the race begins
making their moves. The move order for a section is determined
by the positions of the pilots at the beginning of the section
(before anyone has made their Piloting roll) from last rank to first
rank. A pilot may choose to skip their move if they do not want to
attempt any action during it.

A pilot may normally only target those in the ranks immediately
ahead of or next to them.
Any time a pilot rolls a 1 using their attribute die
during a move they must immediately roll a d6 on
the Accident table and suffer the resulting effects.
Any actions or attempted actions that previously
occurs during the move are ignored in favor of the
Accident's result. Rolling a 1 on the Accident table
does not incur an accident.

<pre>
Accident table
1 Heavy failure: The machines in the two ranks
behind you immediately pass you, and your machine
takes Impact damage. This move is over.

2 Moderate failure: The machine in the rank
behind you immediately passes you, and your
machine loses 1 power box. This move is over.

3 Light failure: The machine in the rank behind
you immediately passes you, and your machine
loses 1 power box. This action is over.

4 Static: Your machine loses 1 power box. This
action is over.

5 Accidental success: You immediately pass the
machine in the rank ahead of you. Your machine
loses 1 power box then accelerates by its full
accel (up to its max speed, or boost max if
boosting). This action is over.

6 Amazing success: You immediately pass the two
machines ahead of you. Your machine takes Impact
damage (with no speed loss associated)
then accelerates by its full accel. This action is over.

Rolling a 1 using an Upgrade die degrades the
upgrade by 1 rating instead. See Equipment,
Minions and Upgrades for more information.
Accidents incurred from certain obstacles during
the section's Piloting phase occur before the first
move in that section. In this case the last sentence
of the result is ignored.

A boosting machine may be passed by a nonboosting
machine if the boosting pilot rolls a
1,2,or 3 on the Accidents table. An action or move
cut short by an accident counts as a full action or
move for determining boost durations.
