Wondrous Vehicles
Wondrous Vehicles are magical items that are large enough that they are not carried or held, by instead are operated by a pilot, similar in scope the Vehicle Rules from Ultimate Combat. Like the other vehicles presented, Wondrous Vehicles require a pilot that is responsible for making the necessary initiative, pilot checks and other rolls involved for navigating a vehicle. Likewise, they follow all of the other rules for Vehicle Rules, including facing, turning and ramming. Unlike other vehicles, all Wondrous Vehicles are universally magical and quite expensive. While their presence is common enough that most townsfolk have at least heard of what they are, they are still rare enough that they are not seen every day.
