1E Resources A Pathfinder Guide to Being a Mech Pilot
Pierce the Heavens - A Pathfinder's Guide to Being a Mech Pilot
So years ago I had posted this guide elsewhere. On the Paizo forms.
Originally my dumbass published straight from Microsoft Word, and have since not been able to access and edit the original document.
Now, 7 to 8 Years later, I've copy and pasted the guide into a new google doc and have gone over it and made some adjustments.
The goal of this guide originally, was to show someone how to play a Mech Pilot in Pathfinder Society for 1e. It is now being rebuilt for everyday campaigns outside Society Play. So this is the updated version of the guide.
Why so many years later? Because I'm keenly aware I may never get to play some of my dream builds and as a result I'm planning to write up guides for them. While I've got to play a Mech Pilot more times then is okay, its testament tot he versatility of singular spells that an entire build can be made around them. I also became aware I had misunderstood some mechanics that made my favorite class to run it as, not as effective as I had thought.
As a Note: This requires a bit of re-skinning. The role play may not be as fun for someone if their body is dead while they are the mech. So discuss with your DM the fluff vs the mechanics in addition to any attempt to play this crap.
If you have any input, suggestions, etc, Please don't hesitate to do so.
If you've ever tried this out, from the previous guide, let me know.
I should rename it, I remember posting it only to discover shortly after that there was a Barbarian build guide using the same title. Oof. Made me feel like an ass.
