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

====Pilot====
To create your pilot, determine their name, age, species (Human,
Takoraian, etc.), appearance and background.

Your pilot has four attributes that distinguish their character: Aim,
Nerve, Brain and Flair. Choose a rating set from the Character
Attributes table and arrange them as you wish.

Most F-Zero pilots have Aim A or B. Your Aim must be at least C to
compete in the F-Zero tournament.

Each attribute has four key skills. The skill's dice is rolled
whenever a skill is attempted. If a character has any modifiers (from attribute rating or other source)to a
skill they are added to the roll. For example, a character with Flair A
(+2) and skill dice of d10 is  rolls a d10 and adds 2 to the
result for all Influence rolls.

At the beginning of the game your character has a d6 dice for all skills. 
You may upgrade three skills to d8 dice at the cost of reducing three dice to d4.
Every time you finish a game session (or episode) you gain one
skill point that can be spent to increase the die for a specific
skill. Bonuses cost a number of points equal to the total bonus
after purchase. Each increase must be paid for separately. For
example, increasing a bonus from d4  to d10
costs 6 points (from d4 to d6, d6 to d8, and finally d8 to d10).
Your pilot may have a maximum die of d12 in each skill.

<pre>
Skill die progression:
0 points: d4
1 point : d6
2 points: d8
3 points: d10
4 points: d12
</pre>

Your pilot also starts with two pieces of useful equipment with their
own ratings. Each piece of equipment is used with a specific skill.
When you use a piece of personal equipment you roll your skill die and
the equipment's die and keep the higher result.

You may design one piece of d10 equipment and one piece of d6
equipment at the beginning of the game. Other equipment may be
purchased or constructed during the course of the game. You may
have as much equipment as you like but you may only have three
pieces at hand during a scene. You may not use personal equipment
during an official F-Zero race. Equipment may be upgraded over the
course of campaign, gaining flat bonus (up to +2) or increasing
its die rating. More in-detail explanation is in "upgrades" chapter.
