Vehicular Combat


The first two commands only work when driving a car.

Syntax: Runinto (pedestrian)

-This command attempts to run down someone standing/walking on the road. It
is only usable after you've reached 100 hours. You can target anybody
visible up to four rooms ahead of your vehicle. Motorcycles cannot do this.
Damage is increased the faster your car is, supernaturals, abominations and
the undead are less affected. The victim may be unaffected, or mildly to
critically wounded. If you severely or critically wound someone who is
protected you will be tainted. There's a chance to temporarily knock out
individuals mildly or severely wounded. There's a chance to have an
accident afterwards. If the streets are public, a news item will go up
announcing your hit and run.

Syntax: runinto (vehicle)

-This command attempts to ram your car into another car on the street, it
can be targeted at any vehicle visible up to four rooms ahead of your
vehicle. Motorcycles cannot do this and tend to fare poorly when targeted
by it. Each car is given a rating based on speed and toughness, going
faster and being tougher means you're more likely to come out of the
accident on top. Both cars are at least damaged and characters thrown out
of them, they may also receive mild or severe wounds depending on who came
out on top in the accident, and the safety rating of the vehicle. Currently
this cannot cause understanding violations.

Syntax: attack (vehicle)

-This allows a person not in a car to attempt to force an accident by
attacking a vehicle. It can only be done when the area isn't public,
generally meaning it must be wreathed in mist. If your character has some
type of firearm this is what will be used, the change the vehicle is stopped
is based on your disciplines with firearms versus the toughness of the car.
Excellent quality tough cars can never be driven off the road with firearms.


If you don't have a firearm but have access to hellfire, shadow lightning or
a custom attack you will attempt to use this instead. The chance again
depends on the toughness of the vehicle but it is general more likely to
work than firearms. If you have brute force or a strength of greater than 8
you can also attempt to use that, but the vehicle must be in the room with
you. Attempting to attack a vehicle with close range powers, or long range
powers once it's in the same room as you incurs a chance to get run over if
you're unsuccessful.

If successful the car will be forced into an accident, and the passengers
may end up slightly injured.

Syntax: runinto wall
-Deliberately have an accident.
