Vehicle Parry and Soak rolls #270

First of all, thank you for the update. It was like early Xmas. Most everything works exactly as it should.

That said, I noticed something that I should have pointed out earlier. Vehicles now use "parry" when they shoot in melee, as they should, but they do not use the right parry. They are using the Pilot's parry score. In a robot or vehicle, the parry is half the pilot's die in Piloting/driving (whichever one is appropriate for the vehicle) + 2 + handling. The issue is that the vehicle sheets don't have a parry score, so I'm not sure how you'd do this. The vehicle sheets DO have a handling score, though. The vehicles also let you set the appropriate pilot skill (piloting or driving), so if you can hook into that with a formula, it should be doable. Parry of a vehicle is 2 plus half the driver's Boating/Drive/Pilot die, plus Handling, as per pg 117 of SWADE.

The second thing is soaking damage. Pilots with the "Ace" edge (which will be most of them) can soak damage for the vehicle. They do not use vigor for this. Pilots use Piloting/Boating/Driving INSTEAD of Vigor to soak wounds, per the ACE Edge..

Thanks again for the update. I'm getting ready to run a new Rifts game and you made my job so much easier.
