So, I'm GMing a DH game and one of my players has a motorcycle. He wants to know whether or not he can hit a target with it, and if so, which tests will have to be taken and how much damage will be dealt to the target.
Thanks, guys.

I would judge it to be a Drive (ground vehicle) test at -20 (it is a bike and you can easily loose control and crash if you're not careful) with 1d10 Impact base damage with an extra 1d10 for every DoS on the drive test.

Yeah, that makes a lot of sense.
Where would he be hit?
My thought is that, on 1 or 2 degrees of success, it's a body hit, on 3+, head hit?

I think that when it comes to where he's hit, you need to rely a bit on the narrative side (unless your group is really against that).

If he doesn't describe it at all? Hit him in the torso. If he describes trying to ram his arm or leg? Throw him another -5 or -10 and allow him to target that limb. If he only fails by 1 or 2, let him hit the enemy in the torso. Head I'd throw a bit more of a - on, but if he hits make the target miss his next round unless he passes a hard or very hard Willpower test, on account of his massive concussion. It adds narrative and awesomeness.

The narrative aspect exists for a reason, and it is an important one.

I wish I had time for all the game systems I own, let alone want to own...
