Information
vehicleType does 2 things at the moment. it gives you the statblock template for vehicles, and decides the type of vehicle you're making. I propose these should be separate for those who may wish to use the template of one vehicle to make other vehicles (ex. making a car using the spelljammer vehicle template statblock)
Who would use it?
homebrewers, particularly those who focus on modern expansions
How would it work?
the vehicleType tag would be split into vehicleType (where you can put anything like car, fleet ship, war ship, etc.) and vehicleTemplate, which decides which template for vehicles you'd be using (this would be decided via source ie: pick AAG if you want to use the spelljammer template for making your vehicle)
Why should this be added?
While I do know that the vehicle tab is unpopular, I feel that if anyone wanted to properly start making vehicles for their mirror of 5etools (like anyone running a modern/futuristic setting) this change would be very positive while not necessarily arbitrarily making more tags. this way you can make detailed vehicles using the spelljammer template, but for things like tanks or large naval ships.
