Racer

You gain Piloting as a class skill. If Piloting is already a class skill for you (or becomes a class skill) from a source other than this archetype, once per day you can choose to roll a Piloting check twice and take the best result.

Each day as part of your daily preparations, you can designate a single vehicle or starship as your chosen ride. You know your chosen ride (or one similar to it) and can push it to the limits. When you designate your chosen ride, select one of the following benefits. Your chosen ride gains that benefit for 24 hours, but only when you pilot your chosen ride.

• Your starship’s speed increases by 1.
• Your starship’s turn decreases by 1.
• Your vehicle’s speed increases by 10 feet. You also increase the vehicle’s full speed and speed in miles per hour by 10%.
• Your vehicle’s piloting modifier increases by 1.

At 10th level, you can designate up to two chosen rides during your daily preparations. If you do, one must be a starship, and the other must be a vehicle.

Choose one of the following feats for which you meet the prerequisites as a bonus feat: Skill Focus (Piloting), Sky Jockey, Street Racer. Reduce the DC of tricks you attempt in vehicle chases and stunts you attempt in starship combat by 2.

When a starship or vehicle you’re piloting would be damaged, you can spend 1 Resolve Point as a reaction to attempt a Piloting check to maneuver out of the way and reduce the damage. You can do this only once per round of starship combat.

If the damage is the result of an attack roll or gunnery check, the DC of this Piloting check is equal to the attack roll or gunnery check result; on a success, the attack misses.

If the damage is due to a failed Piloting check or skill check against an obstacle, hazard, or other complication, the DC of this Piloting check is equal to the DC of the complication; on a success, the failed check becomes a successful check.

If the starship or vehicle would still take damage, treat the vehicle’s hardness as 2 higher and the starship’s shields in the damaged quadrant as 5 higher against the triggering damage (even if they’ve been depleted).
