Driver
CREATURE 2With daring and charm, a driver is a professional operator of mechanical vehicles. Their skill and recklessness give them a reputation that puts even the quickest horse riders to shame. A driver's vehicle becomes an extension of themselves, allowing the driver to perform near-impossible feats of maneuverability. Drivers have other tricks up their sleeve, as their charm is undeniable. When needed, they can talk, lie, or frighten their way out of a bumpy situation in and out of a vehicle.
Although relatively uncommon across much of Golarion, the frequently eccentric but undeniably brilliant minds who create elaborate devices of clockwork, gunpowder, and steam often loom much larger in the public eye than their numbers would suggest.
For encounters involving driving, the driver is an 8th-level challenge.
A driver can attempt a Driving Lore check to increase a vehicle's travel Speed when calculating the value for a day. The DC is determined by the GM but is typically based on the vehicle's piloting DC or the difficulty of traversing the environment, whichever is harder. On a success, increase the vehicle's travel Speed by half.
The driver gains a +10 circumstance bonus to any skill check involved in driving a vehicle, and is considered a master in the skill for such checks. This bonus also applies to any initiative roll while the driver is piloting a vehicle.
