| Each Vehicle has a Capacity, which is the number of Passengers it can accept. This value excludes any crew necessary for the vehicle's operation. A PC could theoretically choose to be a crew member instead of a Passenger; however, this PC would not be able to contribute to the scenario due to focusing on crew-related duties. PCs should typically remain as Passengers instead. | Each Vehicle has a Capacity, which is the number of Passengers it can accept. This value excludes any crew necessary for the vehicle's operation.

| Any one Passenger may select a [[reaction|Reaction]] to play when their Vehicle is targeted. The Passenger is responsible for rolling dice and making any decisions as a result of the play, but any Damage suffered is dealt to the Vehicle. If the Action has the Area Attack keyword or says it targets all enemies (within the section/region or generally, including most [[environ|Environ]] Actions), half the Damage dealt to the Vehicle is also dealt to each Passenger (rounded down). | Any one Passenger may select a [[reaction|Reaction]] to play when their Vehicle is targeted.

| - | Vehicles can recieve [[player_s_guide_appendix_a|conditions]]. These conditions apply to all Passengers, but only for as long as they are Passengers. Vehicles are immune to [[disease|Diseases]] (and suffer no effects within the Special entry of Disease Actions that are listed to last until the end of the scenario), unless the DM specifically overrides this for a given Action (this should again be quite rare). | + | Vehicles have [[stat track|Stat Tracks]]; these typically have base values of +1. Passengers playing entries from the Vehicle or from Vehicle cards should use its Stat Tracks instead of their own. Stat Track modifications from hostile Actions that have the Area Attack keyword or otherwise target all enemies also affect the Stat Tracks of each Passenger. Ally Stat Track modifications, such as for recovery, cannot affect the Vehicle unless otherwise stated. |

| Passengers are considered to occupy their Vehicle rather than the section that the Vehicle occupies. Fellow Passengers are thus considered to be in the same occupied [[section|section]], but entities outside begin at [[range|range]] 1. So, to target an entity that is outside the Vehicle but in the Vehicle's occupied section, the play must be able to target entities range 1 away. This applies only for normal Actions played by the Passenger as an individual; Actions played on behalf of the Vehicle (such as from the Vehicle's entry or from a Vehicle card played from hand) simply treat the Vehicle as a normal entity playing an Action. | Passengers are considered to occupy their Vehicle rather than the section that the Vehicle occupies.

However, they cannot normally be Grabbed by typical enemies. Enemy entries may specifiy that they can Grab a Vehicle, or the DM may allow it in particular sensible circumstances. |
| - | Passengers may only play Reactions from [[implement|implements]] and the Vehicle's entries (as well as Vehicle cards from hand) on behalf of the Vehicle. The DM may permit exceptions to this when the play makes sense, particularly for spell-based Reactions played from hand similar to those on implements. | + | Passengers may only play Reactions from the Vehicle's entries or from Vehicle cards from hand on behalf of the Vehicle. The DM may permit exceptions to this when the play makes sense, particularly for spell-type Reactions played from hand. |

An entity must use their Action Phase to begin a Board attempt; any ally in the occupied position that has not yet participated in a Board attempt during this round may choose to join. | Entities may attempt to Board an enemy Vehicle within the occupied section (whether or not they themselves are Passengers of another Vehicle).

| Reactions are chosen once all Actions and targets have been selected. Actions are resolved simultaneously; an entity that suffers enough damage to be defeated is still able to complete their Action. For expediency's sake it is acceptable for all entities to simultaneously select Actions and targets. However, if there is disagreement over selection order (for instance two entities are stuck waiting on each other to choose first), selections should be made in order of Initiative (including any resolutions already applied to entities that had the same Initiative values). The same rules apply to order of Reaction selection. | Reactions are chosen once all Actions and targets have been selected.

However, if all Passengers fled and/or are defeated, each Boarding entity may choose to become a Passenger of the new Vehicle (at no additional Move cost) or remain in their current location. At the end of the scenario, such captured Vehicles may only be kept if a PC is willing and able to pay the Asset cost (to house and maintain the Vehicle). | + | Once all Actions and Reactions are resolved, if there are any Passengers remaining, all Boarding entities remain in their current location.

At the end of the scenario, such captured Vehicles may generally only be kept if a PC is willing and able to pay the Asset cost (to house and maintain the Vehicle). If the DM overrides this, the PCs should be prevented from selling the Vehicle until their expected Asset total has caught up with the new acquisition. |

| Unless otherwise specified, Vehicles cannot play Actions against Climbing [[obstacle|Obstacles]], and even if such an Obstacle is defeated, the Vehicle still cannot cross with normal movement (special movement and the Flying keyword bypass such Obstacles as normal).

| Even if a Vehicle is permitted within a scenario, there may be certain region exits that Vehicles cannot cross. For example, a Vehicle may have no trouble moving down a road, but it may not be able to enter a building, even if an Obstacle (such as a locked door) was defeated. In most cases, if a Vehicle is allowed into a scenario, there should be some path it can take to reach the goal (or at least to some location where the PCs may safely leave the Vehicle, picking it up later without it becoming Damaged as normal when abandoned). | Even if a Vehicle is permitted within a scenario, there may be certain region exits that Vehicles cannot cross.
