FATE Da Cool Shit! Skill: Drive

Overcome: Drive is the equivalent of Athletics when you’re in a vehicle or upon a comparable mount - you use it to successfully accomplish movement in the face of difficult circumstances, like rough terrain, small amounts of clearance, or stunt driving. Obviously, Drive is also ripe for contests, especially chases and races.

Create an Advantage: You can use Drive to determine the best way to get somewhere in a vehicle or upon a comparable mount, and a good enough roll might allow you to learn features of the route that get expressed as aspects, or declare that you know a CONVENIENT SHORTCUT or something similar. Advantages created using Drive often revolve around getting good positioning, doing a fancy maneuver (Did a Barrel Roll, anyone?), or putting your opponent in a bad spot.

Attack: If you want to ram with your vehicle or comparable mount, you can attack with Drive, but you take the same shifts of harm you inflict.

Defend: Avoiding damage to your vehicle or comparable mount in a physical conflict is one of the most common uses of Drive. You can also use it to defend against advantages being created against you or overcome actions of someone trying to move past your vehicle or comparable mount.

Example Stunts:

• Hard to Shake. +2 to Drive whenever you’re pursuing another vehicle or comparable mount in a chase scene.
• Pedal to the Metal. You can coax more speed out of your vehicle or comparable mount than seems possible. During speed-focused contests or challenges, any Tie made with your Drive roll is actually treated as Succeed.
• Ramming Speed!. When ramming with your vehicle or comparable mount, you ignore 2 hits of reciprocal damage to your own vehicle or comparable mount. So, if you ram for 4 hits of damage to your target, your vehicle or comparable mount only takes 2 hits of damage.
