|
I ever had a problem with the stats of the Hot Rod Airspeeder from Vehicle Stats p.85. The stats origin were taken from the D20 book Coruscant and the Core Worlds I always felt this was meant as a generic stat block for a hot rod airspeeder and not the XJ-6 specifically. So here they are, new stats adjusted to reflect the additional information and retcons from its original carnation. I have also added in an overdrive mechanic that I feel elegantly covers a hot rod and the chance of blowing an engine as well as the lowered maneuverability of a muscle car when its going fast.

| There are stats for this vehicle in GG15: Attack of the Clones. So I guess we have a choice between the two now. |

I am unsure but I was going from the assumption that the D20 version that was later converted to D6 was a highly modified hot rod version of the standard muscle repulsor craft version that is the standard version. That is why I did this stat block.
