Drive (Vampire: The Masquerade 5th Edition)
Skills
Definition
Drive covers the operation of vehicles, from everyday driving to high-speed chases and evasive maneuvers. In the modern world, this skill is essential for mobility, especially when the hunt requires following prey across a city. Vampires who neglect Drive limit their options. Those with high Drive can use vehicles as weapons, escape pursuits, and access areas that would otherwise require supernatural abilities.
