Main class features
Weapon and Armor Proficiency
A Mecha fighter is proficient with all simple weapons
Main Class Features:
Mech just for me
Starting at first level a Mecha pilot gets access to a magically created Construct that they have the ability to pilot inside and manual use in combat.
Size/type: medium construct
Hit Dice: 1d10
speed: 30ft
Armor class: 18 (+2Dex, +6 natural armor), touch 12, flatfooted 16
special qualities: construct traits*(see text), low light vision 60ft
Abilities: Str:18 Dex:14 Con:- Int:- Wis:10 Cha:10
Special: Unlike other constructs. This magical construct is still subject to critical hits, nonlethal damage, and stunning effects. When the construct hits 0 hp it is considered disabled. The construct does not receive extra HP depending on its size. The Mecha Pilot associated with the Construct may fully enter the construct regardless of size.
A Mecha fighter’s life revolves around this custom made magical mechanism and as such, the Mecha fighter may perfectly fit inside of the construct and use it in combat as an external suit. When the Mecha fighter is using the construct in this way, they gain complete control over the construct and may replace the constructs Base attack bonus, skills, and saves with the that of the Mecha pilot’s. While the Mecha pilot is inside the Mech they cannot be damaged unless by non-physical mental attacks. Whenever the piloted construct is brought to 0 or below health, the pilot is immediately ejected 10ft in any direction of their choosing. The mech is then disabled and unable to be used until healed to have at least 1 hp.
Repair kit
Starting at level 2 through constant fighting, a Mecha Pilot has learned how to quickly repair her own Mech or any other construct. While out of their Mech, a Mecha Pilot may as a full round action target an adjacent construct and heal them of a 1d12+Int mod health. The Mecha Pilot may only use this ability once per day per 2 levels they have taken in Mecha Pilot.
Mechanoid combat training
Whenever the Mecha pilot is inside their construct, their fortitude save is increased by ⅓ their Mecha pilot level(rounded up). When the Pilot is out of their mech their reflex save is increased by ⅓ their level(rounded up) instead of their fortitude.
Call Mech
Starting at level 6 a Mecha pilot has grown a magical connection towards their piloted construct that enables them to flare the life of the construct together in times of emergency. once per day a Mecha pilot may choose to sacrafice some of their own life energies to have their piloted construct quickly disassemble and reform around Mecha pilot. The use of this ability inflicts a d4 magical damage to the Mecha pilot for every hd their piloted construct has, as it uses their life energy to power the magical nature of such a transformation, healing the construct of equal damage taken(up to max). This ability may be used even if their construct is currently disabled, the constructs Hp healed starting at 0, no matter how damaged it was previously.
Self destruct
Starting at level 8, the Mecha pilot gains access to one of their most devastating abilities in the time of emergency. as a full round action, the Mecha pilot may choose to set their piloted construct on overload. Using this ability consumes all the magical energy within the piloted construct and bursts itself outwards, hitting all targets within its area of effect. Activating this ability immediately sends the Mecha pilot out of their construct and allows them to move at double their normal movement in any direction they wish. At the beginning of their next turn the construct consumes all remaining Hp that it has and sends a magical pulse that deals a d8 damage for every 5 hp that was consumed. The radious of the explosion is equal to 5ft for every 5hp consumed. Once the magical pulse has been activated. the construct is brought to 0 hp and disabled.
Mobile Evasion
Starting at level 10 a Mecha pilot has learned how to further survive without their trusted Construct. While outside of their piloted Construct they gain the use of the evasion ability as well as a +3 dodge bonus to their ac.
Improved repair kit
Starting at level 12, whenever a Mecha pilot uses their repair kit ability, they may now heal 3d12+int mod per use.
improved self destruct
Starting at level 16, a Mecha pilot has become infused with the magical energies that emanate from their piloted construct. Activating their self destruct ability is now only a standard action as well as they no longer take damage from their own self destruct ability. the magical energies knowing not to harm their own pilot.
Mech specialization
As the Mecha pilot continues to fight and constantly tune up and even repair their fighting construct, they further learn how to utilize and upgrade it. Their Construct gaining the following abilities as they level up.

The Mecha Pilot now receives a +20 circumstance bonus to all jump and balance checks while piloting their construct and having a light load.
Improved Mech Boosters
Only available to those who have already specialized with Mech Boosters. After further specializing with the Magical bursts at their constructs feet, a mecha pilot may further enhance their Mech Boosters to give them temporary flight. As a standard action they may activate their Mech Boosters to give them 2d4 rounds of 40ft clumsy flight. When their flight is no longer active they are considered under the effect of feather fall, considered flat footed until they touch the ground.
Greater Mech Boosters
Only available to those who have already specialized with improved Mech Boosters. Now perfecting the magical energies that boost them from the ground, they may now use a move action to gain 60ft good flight for 3d8 rounds. When their flight is no longer active they are considered under the effect of feather fall, they are no longer considered flat footed until they touch the ground.
Treads

When choosing this specialization, the Mecha pilot chooses an element of their choice. While piloting their construct they gain a resistance to that element equal to 10+their int modifier. This Specialization may be taken multiple times, the effects stack if choosing the same element.
Path Chosen: At level 15 a Mecha pilot may choose to specialize down a specific path. Once a path has been chosen then they will receive all of the benefits of that path at the specified level. Once a path has been chosen they may not switch paths unless they undergo a complete reinstall to realign their construct that requires 200gp/level in supplies, which is expended during the reinstall. The reinstall itself only takes 24 hours, interruption of it will cause the reinstall to be reset. A Mecha pilot gains additional abilities from the path that they have chosen at the levels of 15, 18, and 20. As they progress through the understanding and capability of the path that they have chosen.
White rabbit
Journeyman:Mecha pilots who adventure throughout the world learn to love the open world and have even learned how to augment their piloted construct to further enable them to fully explore it. Starting at level 15 a Mecha pilot choosing the path of the White Rabbit has learned how to unleash the full mobile capabilities of the piloted construct. With specialized tampering their construct may gain a +20ft movement on all forms of movement, as well a gaining a +6 to their dexterity score.
Expert:At level 18 a White rabbit has become true to their name, becoming mobile tanks and turrets. While piloting their chosen construct, a White rabbit may now take a standard action to make a jump or fly action in which they may activate any of the abilities available from this class. While jumping they gain an additional +20 competency bonus to their jump check.
Master: At level 20 a White rabbit has ventured far and wide across the world and have learned that in nearly all adventures, luck has always been on their side.

A number of times equal to their level divided by 5 a White rabbit may force a reroll to any individual within 30ft of them. The target must accept the second roll.
Recycled Warrior
Journeyman:There are those Mecha pilots out in the world that have learned to survive by using their minds to learn how to use any and all materials to further enhance their piloted construct. Starting at level 15, a Mecha pilot who has chosen the path of a recycled warrior has begun to use even old and used parts and able to bring great use in all the resources around them. They may now add their intelligence modifier as bonus hp to their construct as if it was a con modifier. Applying the extra hp for every HD the construct has.
Expert: At level 18 a recycled warrior has learned how to repair and reattach and use the metal and resources around it, even as they are being smashed and sliced off of it. While being piloted, a recycled warriors construct gains a fast heal equal to the constructs HD. This fast heal may never heal past half of their total Hp.
Master: At level 20 they have mastered the ability of reusing materials once thought useless, endlessly upgrading and piling them onto their construct. this enabling their construct to gain a full size category larger.
