New Paragon Paths

Mech Jockey
In the lands of Highpoint, mech jockeys are the new wave of heroes. Their skills protect and shepherd their peoples. The ace pilots of the lightweight fighters speed their mechs across the landscape, sparring with monsters and repelling raiders. The more cautious pilots of the massive city-mechs stride mightily above the ground, plotting their steps with expert precision so as to avoid disaster.

Prerequisites: Dex 13+, Mech Pilot Feat, High Intelligence is recommended.
The Mech Pilot is the master of the Mech. He specializes in driving these giants of iron and steel.

Mech and Pilot as One (11th Level): You may use your Martial powers through your mech. The large Mech-Based Siege weapons count as ranged weapons and Melee and unarmed attacks count as melee. Remember that a lot of mechs cannot shift. Unarmed attacks count as light blades in terms of Rouge skills.
Slap Attack (16th Level): You may make slap attacks against targets on your Mech’s body. That is, if enemies are on the outer shell of your mech, you may make unarmed attacks against one of them. To do this, your mech must have upper limbs of some sort. Normally there is no way for a pilot to attack boarders on the outside of your mech.

NEW SUPERIOR WEAPON
Big Bore Rifle: Prof: +3, Dam: 1d10, Range: 20/40, Cost: 300gp & 1gp for 10 bullets, Wt: 12lbs & 5lbs for 10 bullets, Group: Firearm, Properties: Armor Piercing (-1 AC), Load: Standard, Jams 2, Overlong (Spend a move action to brace before firing).

Description: The Big Bore Rifle (BB Gun) is commonly described as long as a man is tall. This immense musket is rifled (at considerable expense) in order to ensure the accuracy of its massive brass ball ammunition that warps into the groves of the rifle when fired. Like all muskets this weapon is reloaded by pushing a charge of black powder down the muzzle of the barrel followed by a single round of ammunition. This weapon is to heavy and awkward to fire properly while standing upright. When shooting, you must expend a move action to brace the weapon before you can fire it.
