Mechs - Are they vehicles for purposes of class features and feats?

For the purpose of resolving effects, treat a mech as a vehicle

Are feats or class features "effects" or...?

I would initially say so. I think there are a few mechanic tricks that are suddenly more useful in a mech campaign.

Yeah, there are a few things in general that come to mind for sure. It's one of those things where I believe it should logically, but the RAW doesn't have an answer.

Feats are a little questionable, but off the top of my head, the only class feature I remember that affects a vehicle is definitely an effect.

I was wandering the same thing.

I am designing an encounter to introduce mechs into my home brew world. And need a way for the mech(s) to be extracted. Still working on details.

But basically they have to break into a facility that is designing mechs (still working on why they need to do this) and basically steal a mech or 2.

I am guessing that I can just use the came expansion bays needed for vehicles (don’t have the pdf available, sorry for not remembering the actual name)...

I would playtest it assuming that anything affecting vehicles also affects mechs as if they were a vehicle, then report your experiences with a note saying that's what you did.
