Does anyone know if/where there is a book that details how to use mecha? I am trying to incorporate it into group and I can't find a book anywhere. Also, if anyone has a link for a downloadable version (preferably free) that would be fantastic.

If you can find it, get d20 Mecha from Guardians of Order. They went out of business over a year ago, but d20 Mecha is what you want.

You also may be able to find the d20 Mecha SRD somewhere. Contains almost everything thats in the book. It just leaves out the pre-made mecha.

Edit: Here's a link to an online d20 Mecha SRD: Click! (http://www.acsu.buffalo.edu/~rismith/Mecha/srd/index.html)
Edit 2: And here is a link to Amazon.com, where they have the book for $40: Click! (http://www.amazon.com/d20-Mecha-System-Handbook/dp/1894525566/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1200533126&sr=8-1)

That's a lot of damage... I used to create a Robo using Warforged Titan in Eberron Campaign Setting as a basis. Six weapons: A hammer, a pick, a sword, a scythe, a drill, and a "Darkness Finger", plus six mobile cannons, say "Dragoon System". The damage was 4d6 something, and the most important thing is how much strength you give it. Anyways, if you focus on Robo VS Robo, that's a completely different issue.

Really, the amount of damage doesn't tell anything without a frame of reference. There's no HP, or hardness/damage reduction to compare it to.

Effigy Titan, and just enchant it for extra powers, such as Lightning Bolts, Fireballs, etc. For damage just use the damage a creature of that size would do with a weapon. I would suggest finding a different CR for the Effigy Titan, since it really sucks compared to what its CR is. It loses pretty much everything, so I'ld reduce the level. For pilots, maybe use Magic Jar or True Mind Switch, or an item that allows the wearer to utilize them on that particular construct. That way wizards are still able to cast their spells, and fighters are able to use their BAB.

You could just use the Ride skill for pilots. It might be hard to make a saddle for an effigy titan, though...

A nice little hollowed out area inside the chest cavity would work. Now, if you wanted the Gundams from Modile Fighter G Gundam, I would suggest using suits of Full Plate that casts Giant Size on its wearer a couple of times per day.
