Vehicles

Vehicle Construction Toolkit

Building a vehicle in the Sprawl is a relatively straightforward affair. You choose the chassis size of your vehicle as the starting point and multiply the base cost for that chassis by the motive type. Everything else can be modified by Improvements to add extra features.

All vehicles are assumed to start with a crew of 1 with 0 passengers and a Firewall of 4.

Chassis Size: The Size and Scale of the vehicle relative to a human (see Scale on page 106 and the Size Table on pg 179). Vehicles can normally take three Wounds before they're Wrecked (page 118), but Large Vehicles can take one additional Wound, and Huge vehicles two, and Gargantuan three.

Handling: The vehicle's responsiveness and maneuverability is added or subtracted from all its operator's maneuvering rolls (Boating, Driving, or Piloting). This typically ranges from -2 for particularly slow or sluggish vehicles to +2 for those that can turn on a dime.

Top Speed: Top Speed is expressed in miles per hour (MPH) rather than Pace so it's easier for you to look up real-world vehicles and use them in your game. The Chase rules only care about the relative speeds of vehicles anyway, not their actual speeds (see Chases, page 113).

Toughness: The vehicle's base durability including Armor (in parentheses). Use the vehicles included in this book as a guide when creating your own or writing up those that aren't listed here.

To estimate the Armor value of real world vehicles with Heavy Armor (tanks), start with +4 as a base, then add +2 for every inch of armor up to 10", +1 per inch up to 20", and finally +1 for every two full inches after that. A tank with 23" of armor, for example, has an Armor value of (4+20+10+1)=35.

Passengers: The number of crew plus any additional passengers it can transport. A notation of "2+8" for example means it requires a crew of two and can carry up to eight additional passengers.

Firewall: The target number needed to initiate a Hack against a vehicle controlled with a VCI. 

Cost: The average price of the vehicle.
