For example, do they have to make skill checks or anything to operate it? Any other kind of penalties when operating?If not, you basically just need a monster stat block for each mecha, and then just give it to the PCs to use instead of their own character sheet.  Also, I'll assume that these mechas are large or huge, so the PC kind of gets bigger.It seems like the PCs will end up having better physical defenses, because presumably the mechas would be better armored than a given PC. Then again, you might have to determine that the mecha has hit points all its own. Unless there's a protective area to the piloting portion, the PC operating a mecha might be affected by the same burst or blast attack. Otherwise, the only thing that would damage a PC in a mecha would be an attack vs. Will.Are there any other benefits you wanted these mechas to grant the players? If they have the feat and use their own powers 'through' the mecha, does the mecha give them any bonuses for doing so? Penalties? ~</blockquote>
