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

====Machine====
To begin designing your machine
decide on a suitable name and
concept for it (ultralight racer,
wrecking machine, etc). 

Your machine has three essential
attributes, Body, Boost and Grip, rated
from A to E. Choose a set of ratings
from the Machine Ratings table and
arrange them in any order.
Once your machine has ratings
you may determine its other
qualities.

<pre>
Machine ratings:
AAE ABD
ACC BBC
</pre>

Your machine's power bar
has 12 boxes. Machines
lose power from
piloting failures,
impacts, and
boosts. To determine power 
loss from impact roll a die
equal to machine's Body
rating.

<pre>
Impact damage table:
Rolled: Boxes lost:
  1-3       3
  4-7       2
  8+        1
</pre>

Pit areas restore 4 power when your
machine passes through them.
If your machine runs out of power due to an impact you are
immediately disqualified.

Your machine's base weight
affects its acceleration and max
speed. You may decide how
much your machine weighs in
kilograms within the confines of
its weight category.

<pre>
Base Weight
Body rating:  Weight:
    A        1800-2000 kg
    B        1600-1800
    C        1400-1600
    D        1200-1400
    E        1000-1200
</pre>

Your machine's acceleration is
determined by its Boost and
Body. Look at the listed speeds
for these two attributes on the
Acceleration table and add them together. The
result is your machine's acceleration before the first
Piloting roll of
each section. Note that the first value is for straightway track sections (More in-depth explanation is in "track" section).

<pre>
Boost/Body rating   Full/halved acceleration
                    from Boost:      from Body:
     A               50/30 km/h      10/10 km/h
     B               40/20 km/h      20/10 km/h
     C               30/20 km/h      30/20 km/h
     D               20/10 km/h      40/20 km/h
     E               10/10 km/h      50/30 km/h
</pre>

For example, a machine with A rating in boost and C rating in body will have :
A boost: 50/30 km/h
C body : 30/20 km/h
So, full acceleration of this machine will be 80 km/h on straightways and 50 km/h for other track sections.

Machines
weighing less
than 100 kg above
the lowest weight
in their rating
increase their
listed Acceleration
by 20 km/h.
Machines weighing
more than 100 kg above the lowest weight in their
rating increase their listed Max Speed by 20 km/h.
Machines weighing exactly 100 kg above the lowest weight increase
both Acceleration and Max Speed by 10 km/h.

Your machine's max speed is determined by
its Body and Grip. Look at the listed speeds
for these two attributes on the Max Speed
table and add them together. The result is your
machine's max speed. For example, a machine with
Body A (240 km/h) and Grip E (200 km/h) has a
max speed of 440 km/h.

<pre>
Max Speed
Body/Grip rating:  Speed:
          A        240 km/h
          B        230
          C        220
          D        210
          E        200
</pre>

Your boost lasts for a number of actions equal to
your machine's (Boost + Body) divided by 2 (round
down) on the Boost
Duration table. For
example, a machine with Boost A (5)
and Body D (4) has a boost duration
of (5+4=9) / 2 = 4 actions: the
action it is declared on
and the next three actions.

<pre>
Boost duration
Rating Boost: Body:
  A      5      1
  B      4      2
  C      3      3
  D      2      4
  E      1      5
</pre>

Your machine's maximum
boosting speed is
determined by its Body
and Boost. Look at the
Boost Max table. Add the
speeds listed for your machine's Body and Boost to
your normal max speed. For example, a machine with
Body B and Boost C adds 30 km/h
and 40 km/h to its normal max speed.

<pre>
Boost max chart:
Rating: Body bonus: Boost bonus:
A       40 km/h     60
B       30 km/h     50
C       20 km/h     40
D       10          30
E       0           20
</pre>

To determine your machine's boost
accel, add the speed listed for your
machine's Boost on the Boost Max
table to its normal acceleration.

Your machine's handling affects your Piloting rolls. A machine's
handling is determined by its Grip and Boost. Your Handling
modifier is equal to your machine's (Grip + Boost) divided by 2
(round down) on the Handling table. The result is the modifier
to any Piloting rolls made when piloting your machine.

<pre>
Handling chart:
Rating: Grip bonus: Boost bonus:
A           +2          -2
B           +1          -1
C           +0          +0
D           -1          +1
E           -2          +2
</pre>

Your total weight is
used to determine your starting rank in a first race. If two or more machines have identical weights the pilots
may make Body rolls to determine which machine begins
in the leading rank. The higher result begins in front of
the other equally-heavy machine(s). Reroll any ties. Afterwards,
machine who finished last in previous race starts in first, machine before it 
starts in second, and so on.
