25%, not 25 units of speed.

HMR stands for Hazardous Materials Requisition, not Horrible Massive Ruination, though I can understand how one could get confused.

So... despite having a maximum speed of 70 I won't ever be able to go faster than 40 by normal means. And that's assuming perfect acceleration. In practice (assuming you indeed roll a d10) I have a 50% chance of not being able to go above 20 (if I roll below 5 on acceleration and lose 25% (5 in this case) each turn).

WHAT. THE. FUCK. WERE. YOU. THINKING?

It's what happens when you don't really do the math. If you want to I can switch a point from energy or max speed to arceleration.

I don't do the math? Even disregarding the fact that you didn't tell us the rules, why the hell do you give an option to prioritize maximum speed if it's going to be limited by quadrupled acceleration anyway?

And first of all, why didn't you tell us about this bullshit before the race started?

I was talking about myself. (Really, I forgot to check numbers, and I'm sorry for that.) Aggresive driving + specials+ other thingies allow you to easily push over  quardupled arceleration.

Also, it is in the rules, somewhere (I think). I was pretty sure I posted it.
Edit: Apparently it is not in the rules, but in the Rollers block thread i think.

Either way, your engine would be something like this
[20/20hp|Energy use:15, Arceleration: d20, Max Speed:50]
Or this
[20/20hp|Energy use:20, Arceleration: d20, Max Speed:70]

I already said, quadrupled acceleration can only be achieved by perfectly rolling the maximum possible result every turn.
Either way, your engine would be something like this
[20/20hp|Energy use:15, Arceleration: d20, Max Speed:50]
Or this
[20/20hp|Energy use:20, Arceleration: d20, Max Speed:70]
How about Energy use:15, Arceleration: d20, Max Speed:60? You owe me for the emotional stress. :'(

I agree with Dariush. You molested him with your sweet words and greasy fingers.

>That is horrible and disgusting. It will no doubt set you apart and create fear in your team mates. So of course.

I'll think about it. I can't really give you advantage above the other players.

Just imagine I rolled 0.5 more on that. :P It's not like 10 more maximum speed is that gamebreaking...

Oh god, 10 more maximum speed, that's totally game-breaking.

Just imagine I rolled 0.5 more on that, you molester. :P
Fine, fine.
But as a GM, I actually should be impartialAhum
