Forklift

RE: Forklift
We playtested these rules last night with a custom scenario and so far so good. Before creating the scenario I corrected a mistake I made... I meant the forklift to be worth 4 dots so that it could be paired with Zombies Autospawn. We did find a few areas we needed to clarify, so I will be updating the rules.

- The forklift cannot move through sewers (duh) or through tight spaces like buildings that touch on a corner.

- Getting in/out we changed to take up your whole move action. The revised version will read that you can give up your move action in order to move the forklift, which does not in any way count as the hero moving themselves. This gets around weird scenarios like driving the forklift across the map and then hopping out and taking your regular move.

- We also decided that although you roll a die to move the forklift, it does not have "movement dice." Otherwise you could do screwy things like use Broken Ankle on the forklift, Billy's Track Star Ability, etc. etc. We did kind of want Heavy Rain to apply, but that was seemingly the one good case in a sea of broken situations that would come up, so we just decided to not allow anything that affects Hero movement to affect the forklift

- The forklift stops its movement when it encounters a square with a zombie in it, the same as Heroes do. The forklift does not have "Blitz." We debated maybe changing this so that it DOES Blitz, but we'll decide that upon further playtesting. Thematically, Blitzing makes sense, the only real reason it's been left out was for balance concerns.

- We debated whether or not the rolls to attack a human inside the forklift, as well as the rolls to ram zombies, needed to be made easier. For now we'll keep an eye on it and playtest it further.

I'll post my custom scenario later tonight when I'm at home and have access to it.
