Something I would like to see put in the game is Hoverboards. something along the lines of this. It would help you trek across landscapes and you would be able to be elevated 2 or so blocks, it would also exterminate the need to jump up a hill, as this would make such a thing automatic. Discuss.
True, but good idea. Maybe if it runs out of battery, then you have to haul it back to a recharge station? (slowing movement speed)
technically it would not, since you can carry it around it is a item, mounts/vehicles are items that can't be picked up.
It's mainly a mount, right? Then put it in the mounts section. That's what the rules say. (As far as I know/AFAIK) But yeah, that's an awesome idea. Support.
just because you can ride it does not mean it is a mount, it is a hover board so yes it is a vehicle but you can most likely pick it up making it in gear and items.
If it's a deployable vehicle that you throw out and then get on, it counts as an item. If it's just an item you can trigger in your inventory to automatically make you ride it, it's a mount.
I raise all my four limbs for this idea. But would your unit change his pose when riding a hoverboard? You know - slightly bent knees, outstretched hands, like when riding a skateboard.
