Its high time someone did some of these. Personally the thing that first came to mind when i thought of the magic/psionics + giant robots was psionically powerd robots. The higher the level of the piloting psion the more powerfull the mech becomes. This idea spawned these disgutingly fun ideas: built in laser blades that go up a virtual size category for x number of psion levels, Ranged weapons that do a set amount of damage and can be boosted by power point expendature (think something along the lines of the psionic weapon feat), bio mechannical suits (think eva's only less psychotic) that heal naturaly, add a set number to the dc's of any powers manifested while wearing this giant psi suit thingy, even when the pilot is not in the suit it has a modicum of intellignence and autonomy(due to the psi-crystal embedded in its cpu <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> ), force fields like inertal armor, best of all these mechs would be totally innocuous looking, no guns or obvious weapons just a basic humaniod form. A high level psion could rip entire legions to peices with this technology. I just get this mental image of a colossal mech thundering onto the battlefield and seeing a lone mech with no mounted weapons. The colossal mech shoots at the small mech but the shots just seem to bounce off of it. The small mech looks up calmly and suddenly blasts foreward towards the big mech and then shreds the mech in close combat. JOY!!!Magic users could also have a mech thingy like this but i just wonder about spell failure.Another idea that came to mind was incorporating these mech rules into dragonstar, however the mechs are only found in the Terran imperium a small empire on the edge of known space that has so far been resistant to attacks from the imperial legions. And they got ahold of some imperial tech. Fun stuff.</blockquote>
