<p>So bascially, let's say you can move 30 feet. If you move 25 feet forward and 5 feet left, the vehicle will be facing left, and if you traced it's path, it would make a very tall L shape. If however you moved the 30 feet in a straight line, you would have to maintain the forward facing, you would have to turn left on your next turn.</p>Actually, in 3.5 and I presume Pathfinder, vehicles DO have explicit facing rules; they have a defined front and back and turning capabilities, usually it depends on it's size.

More classes? Gauge their power and put them in the appropriate "cost" list. More races? same story, use the "gifts" as a LA substitute to allow powerfull races like Dragonborn who are not actually gimp or Drow without having to shred all their iconic stuff like pathfinder did to remove it. LA +1 can be in the same category as the Orc while LA +2 can go with the trolls.
<p>I've gone this route to keep the conversion as close as possible with using the D20 mechanics. This gives you plenty of option and custumization. Complexity of option should not be confused with complexity of the underling mechanics. Keep the mechanics simple, and then add lots of stuffs to play with it around.
<br />
The concept is the same as the one in Magic. Make a simple rule anyone can easly learn. And then give someone a cool ability to do something else different. This way only those who chose that option have to "study" that rule while everybody else can go on having to learn only the simplier stuff.</p>Seth Dresari wrote:@Dekalinder
