Feature: Crash Specialist
Because of your experience when it comes to driving and especially crashing, you are able to easily assess what the problem is when a vehicle of any kind breaks or malfunctions. However, the DM may decide that you cannot assess the issue if it does not have to do with the vehicle itself, such as a magic spell.
Suggested Characteristics
