Mech Pilot, Variant (5e Class)

Mech Pilot, Variant

Mech Pilots are engineers who learn how to fight in doubles with their giant companions, while none of them are useless alone, their true power comes from their ability to work together and control the battlefield with elemental skills and support abilities.

Flesh and Steel, Fire and Soul

Your village is being raided, there is not a single thing you can do other then watch the once bustling town burn before your eyes. The constant sound of crackling flames is suddenly interrupted by the roar of projectiles hitting the ground, wood breaks and iron bends as one of the spikes pierces a siege-tower, men and shrapnel flying in all directions. You turn your eyes towards the towering figure, a construct of metal and stone covered in vines stands upon a hill, bombarding the ravagers with a rain of death once again. A crash is heard as another of the entities breaks through a burning palicade; Instead of the natural look of the other, it has sharp edges and thick plates, made from a dark alloy and decorated with gold, at the top of its shoulder you can see a dwarf holding his axe confidently, on the lookout for more raiders that dare try to match his fury.

Creating a Mech Pilot

What made you and your mechanical companion want to walk the world together? The immeasurable riches? The beauty of the many landscapes you could explore? Maybe you just got bored at your factory and wanted to have some fun outside of all that bureaucratic paperwork!

Mech's Appearance

You can make the mech look as you wish, but I have some recommendations. Humans generally have more common mechs, Materials of lighter colors with round and sharp edges and sometimes even cloth for decoration, as in banners for example. Dwarves prefer more armored looking mechs, with dark colored alloys, energy points to have some charm and gold/bronze lines for pure décor. Gnomes follow their traditional style of making brownish and golden machines filled with cogs and useless mechanisms for the sake of aesthetic, with steam vents, electric coils and other fluff added all around it. Elves don't enjoy the metal so much, their mechs are normally overgrown or a mix of tech and magic, with rock armor with wooden interior, maybe instead of connection points their mechs have energy tendrils holding the arms and legs. These are only what I thought would be cultural looking mechs, but that doesn't mean you cant choose how they look. Find inspiration, Cool images, Draw them yourself if you can! And most importantly. GIVE YOUR MECH A PERSONALITY! They can always be the boring AI that just responds with "Roger Roger" or you can make a companion of a lifetime! Give them a name, maybe from your own race, maybe its a name based on something from real life (Like ATLAS) or its just a dumb robot based pun (That are my favorite out of the bunch). Giving personality to your mech makes everything more fluid and lifelike, and will make you feel empathy towards your big hulking metal friend.

Quick Build

You can make a Mech Pilot quickly by following these suggestions. First, Intelligence should be your highest ability score, followed by Constitution and Dexterity. Second, choose the Guild Artisan background. Third, choose a Shortsword, Hide armor and the Explorer's Pack.

Meet Your Mech

When you reach 1st level you gain your mech!

Saving Throws The saving throws for any of the status of your skills are 1d20 + Your Intelligence + Your Proficiency

Ability Scores. The mech uses your Intelligence for its Strength and Dexterity. All the other Ability Scores are the same as yours, Mechs have a personality, so while they can still be charmed, persuaded or intimidated but will always have advantage towards resisting said Checks; And any charm, intimidation or persuasion that would involve one of you damaging each other has no effect also Mech can not be subject to condition frightened, deaf, petrified, poisoned, blinded and can't take levels in exhaustion.

Size. The mech is one size larger than you are. The space inside of it is large enough to house a creature your size or smaller as well as the gear it is wearing or carrying (within reason). Mechs have a internal storage area for its pilot that is the size of an average chest. Creatures and objects inside the mech don’t count towards encumbrance.

AC. The mech’s AC is equal to 12 + the mech’s Strength + Constitution modifier. At level 10 the mech’s AC become equal to 15 + the mech’s Strength + Constitution modifier

Hit Points. The mech has hit points equal to 20 + its Constitution modifier for each level you have in this class. The mech cannot regain hit points normally. If you would roll a hit die to regain hit points during a short rest, you may instead add your Intelligence modifier to the roll and apply twice the result to your mech’s hit points instead. Spells and magical effects that repair objects will grant the mech 1d6 points of health, but can only be healed a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus per day. On a long rest you can use your tinker tools to regain all mech hit points

Distance conversation You can mentally communicate with your Mech at a distance of 1000ft, if the Mech is more than 1000ft away and does not have orders from the pilot, the Mech will try to re-establish communication with the pilot.

Irrelevant Damage: The mech is immune to poison and psychic damage.

Buffered Damage: Necrotic and radiant damage is halved against the mech.

If the mech is reduced to 0 hit points, the mech falls prone and deactivates, and excess damage is dealt to the creature piloting it. The mech cannot be reactivated until it regains at least half of its hit points, and the creature piloting it is prone until it leaves the mech. The mech is considered unconscious while deactivated, whatever the reason for it being deactivated.

Speed. The mech’s movement speed is 40 ft, crawl speed is 10ft. Additionally, the mech cannot swim, or jump, and it must use its full speed to stand up from prone. If the 'Mech falls into water, it will sink and water will flood into the cabin, but it will still work, when it hits the bottom his walking speed will become 10 feet

Actions and Combat. Mech is a construct, has two arms, each of which can be equipped with an integrated weapon. Choose one nonmagical melee one-handed weapon you are proficient with for each arm. All Integrated Weapon's gains the Light property and loses the versatile property (including Ranged Armaments). If the integrated weapon has the Thrown property, the mech can store up to three copies of that weapon in the chosen arm. You may change the arm's current weapon to your Ranged Armaments, shield or the hands by using your bonus action, you may switch them out for other weapons of your choice when taking a short rest. All mechs come with a folding shield, it doesnt count towards your integrated weapons max but can only be used in one arm at a time.

During your turn, you can command the Mech where it should go (this does not require any action from you). You can command the robot what action to do (this does not require any action from you too). If you don't give the command, the Mech takes the Dodge action. As an action, if you are within 5 feet of a Mech, you can sit in it, causing you to have full command of the Mech's actions. When you in Mech you use Mech stats, you have all Mech abilities, and Mech cannot be charmed, also while the creature is in the mech, creature cannot be affected by spells. If pilot downed Mech use all what he can to save pilot.

Hands. The mech also has a five-fingered claw hand for each arm that is typically used when not in combat. These hands can be used for clumsy or simple tasks, such as to grasp things or grapple targets, but cannot be used for anything complex or tasks that require finesse, such as picking a lock, turning book pages, holding cards, tying knots, holding weapons, etc. They can still do things like opening doors and moving objects, but they can't do it silently

Attacks and Saving Throw DCs. The mech is considered proficient with all of its attacks and abilities, with the attacks using the mech’s Strength as the ability modifier. The mech uses your proficiency bonus in place of its own. If one of the mech's physical attacks forces any creature (including itself) to make a saving throw, the DC of that save is equal to 8 + the mech’s Strength modifier + your proficiency bonus. If the Mech is dual wielding, it can add damage to the second hit as if it had the Dual Weapon fighting style. All melee damage dealt by the Mech is increased and receives an additional damage die (a battle ax deals 1d8 in the Mech's hands it will deal 2d8, a greatsword does 2d6 in the Mech's hands it will deal 4d6 damage)

Mech Destruction and Rebuilding. The mech can be irreparably destroyed in much the same way that a player character can die: from massive damage and failed death saves. The mech does not make death saving throws, but it can accumulate death saving throw failures. If the mech is at 0 hit points, any time it would receive damage equal to or greater than one third its maximum hit points in a single damage roll, it suffers 1 death saving throw failure. If it takes an amount of damage equal to or greater than its maximum hit points in a single damage roll, it is instantly destroyed. The mech keeps all death saving throw failures until it has at least half its maximum hit points again.

The mech can be rebuilt by salvaging the remaining components and collecting replacement parts, which can be costly in both time and money. It takes 8 hours to rebuild the mech , and costs 100gp for each level you have in this class. His conscience will not be lost and will be preserved via the link your formed; while the mech is destroyed or totally deactivated it acts as a voice in your mind and can see, feel and hear everything that you can.

9th Level: Your mech blasts a 30 ft cone in front of him with Force energy, dealing 4d8 force damage and pushing any creatures in said area 15 ft away. Your glove can also use this skill, but the radius will be decreased to 15 ft and the pushing distance reduced to 10 ft. You now have a small exo-skeleton prototype, it ain't great but now you count as a size larger when counting your Carrying Capacity. Uses of both of this skills are regained after a short rest.

Strong Aura

15th Level: You are a bulwark of a person, and you know that. All past skills that use force receive a buff in damage, 1d6 -> 1d8 -> 1d10 -> 1d12 -> 1d20, and all creatures now have a disadvantage on the parlaying saving throw when getting hit by your skills. Your can now use a shield together with any two-handed weapons, all weapons with the versatile tag will always count as being held with two hands.

Collision Course

18th Level: Break, Crush and Kill. Easy to say, and for you, easy to do. As an action you can create a force nova centered in you or your mech, dealing 5d10 force damage to all creatures in a 35 ft radius, all allies inside this area will benefit from the shields of Improved Dynamos and gain immunity to Force Damage, The amounts of shield generated by this aura will be 10 + 2 times your INT modifier, this does not stack with the shields from Improved Dynamos and will replace said shield if the value is bigger. Uses of this skill are regained after a short rest.
