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

===Chapter 2: The Announcer===
====Before the race====
Not all action happens on track - a lot can happen before machines assume their positions at the starting line.

Before the race players are given roughly 5 minutes in hangar. While there, PC may attempt any actions that are possible in Character Scale scenes,
talk to fellow pilots, meddle with your car or play the crowd.

-If one chooses to upgrade a car he is exempt from the rest of the scene and must pass the mechanics check equal to (track's star rating +3). If he
succeeds, he can increase either '''Max speed''' by 20 , '''Acceleration''' by 10/10 , or '''Handling''' by +1.

-Playing the crowd nets you additional points depending on accolade roll over (track's star rating +3). No, you can't go into negatives. Depending on how 
(and if) playing the crowd is roleplayed, Announcer may add a bonus to roll.

-You, of course, can brawl with fellow racers, trying to decrease their stats - however this incurs 500-point penalty. 
====Racing Step by Step====
0: Starting line

The pilots' machines are lined up at
the starting line in order by weight with
the heaviest machine in Rank 1. The
machines accelerate from the starting
line to 300 km/h.

1: Beginning of a section

At the beginning of the section
every machine accelerates
according to its Acceleration
listing (whether it's full or half-acceleration depends on a specific section)
to the machine's max speed.

2: Piloting roll

Every pilot rolls their Piloting
skill, starting with the pilot in
Rank 1. Each pilot must specify
if they are braking through the
current section before they roll.
The Announcer decides if they
successfully navigate the section.

If pilot is '''successful'''  
pilot's machine contacts or
avoids features as determined by
Piloting roll.

If result is '''failure'''
pilot's machine suffers the listed
Failure effect for the current section.
If the machine is still in the race it
decelerates by 20 km/h per box of
power lost. He still contacts
or avoids features as determined by Piloting roll.
