Remember, the biker has a Speed Factor of 1 against your car, so you take a -1 penalty on your check.Alex: Okay, I get a... 12, plus my 6 for Drive, minus 1 for the Speed Factor penalty and another for the Speed Category... total of 16.GM: Not bad, but the bad guy gets a 14, plus 5 for his Drive skill, and he gets the Speed Factor as a bonus on his roll, so thatʼs plus an additional 1. Total of 20. So he closes in on your car, andis now at Point-Blank range.Lacey: Itʼs my turn now, right?GM: Yep. Youʼre a passenger in the car, so you can choose any Passenger maneuver.Lacey: Iʼve got my pistol so Iʼm going to try and shoot this biker.GM: Youʼre choosing the Ranged Attack maneuver. Heʼs at Point-Blank range, so you take no range penalty on your attack roll. However, the current Speed Category is Cautious, so thatʼs a-1 on your roll.Lacey: Okay. I roll a 15! My attack bonus is plus 7, so thatʼs a 22, minus 1 for the Speed Category is 21.GM: Pretty good. The biker's Armor Class would normally be 14, but at this speed he gets a dodge bonus of 2, so thatʼs a 16. Too bad for him. You lean out the window and snap off a quick shot through the dust. Nice shooting.Lacey: Woot! My damage is... 108.GM: Umm, Lacey, that's a 6-sided dice. And get it out of your mouth!&nbsp; Your damage was 8. He curses as the bullet grazes his shoulder, but&nbsp; stays close. The motorcycle's front wheel is right alongside your car now. And the other biker is closing in, too. Your turn, Alex.</blockquote>
