Special AbilitiesControlled Plummet (Ex) With no piloting controls or means of self-propulsion, this vehicle’s heading and velocity are set at the time it is launched from another airborne vehicle or starship. Each round, its autocontrol maintains its heading toward a predetermined point on the ground, using the terminal velocity of the planet’s atmosphere (200–300 mph for world with normal gravity) as its full speed. One round before impact, antigrav rotors, parachutes, retrorockets, or other mechanisms slow the descent to 60 feet per round, allowing for safe touchdown. Enclosed (Ex) In addition to having total cover, the pilot and passengers in an enclosed vehicle can’t use their personal weapons to attack creatures and objects outside the vehicle, though they can use the vehicle’s weapons (if any).DescriptionCapable of deploying fire teams and supply caches from dizzying heights, drop pods offer a heart-stopping ride from lower orbit to a planet’s surface.
