[QUOTE="barsoomcore, post: 446695, member: 812"] I mean the pilot's Dex modifier is not used. If the pilot wants to use their Dexterity and skill to increase their vehicle's AC they can perform a Complex Stunt. I don't really see why it should. Why would the ability to duck a sword translate into the ability to turn a ship aside from a laser bolt? What insight bonus? An insight bonus to the pilot's Piloting skill check would make a Complex Stunt easier. But an insight bonus to the pilot's AC? I don't see that it should apply to the vehicle's AC. But it's the best option presented here. MAYBE insight bonuses apply. Right. Why should it? It seems bizarre to me that it would. No, I'm not saying that. I'm not convinced that that is the best solution, but I don't have a better one. This has nothing to do with the issue of vehicle Dexterity, though. Sure. The pilot still has a Dex score, after all. They roll Initiative normally. The vehicle doesn't roll Initiative, the pilot does. Explain to me how they apply to a balloon. Yeah, we could do that. That's got nothing to do with the pilot's Dexterity score. I think there could certainly be feats a pilot could take to improve her vehicle's AC. [/QUOTE]
