Encounters for Mechs

[Jimbles the Mediocre]

Alright, how will YOU be putting mechs through their paces?

Personally, I'll be dropping my PCs onto Daimalko in a few tier 15-ish mechs and counting how many kaiju they can take out before being mushed into a paste.

Not that I'm running a game yet, but I would probably start off by using Predator (animal) stats and work their way up. I'd probably mix it up with templates or something, like Cybernetic. Who wouldn't enjoy fighting colossal alien cyber-dinosaurs that can shoot lasers.

Mechs fighting Mechs in Mech battles on Mech World for the ultimate Mecha prize.

Once I get the handle on designing mech PCs and mech NPCs, I'll move on to mech vs. swarms of goblin soldiers in Mech Goblin Slayer.

I set up a battlefield with 3 control points that need to be captured to open up the final confrontation. APL 7

area 1 a group of 6 weaker enemies, totaling CR of 10, but I think it may turn out a little easier than on paper. Enemies are crest eaters and anacite ambassadors. tweaked slightly to make their abilities a little more relevant.

area 2 two 2 enemy fights, the first being against 2 Neutronium golems, which isn't meant to be hard, but test their mettle and mech ability against unusual circumstances (invisible enemies). Following up that is a CR 10-ish encounter with a dragonkin and moonflower.

approaching area three, likely through a canyon, I'm having a shantank attack them to test combat in tighter quarters when the enemy has a terrain advantage. Area 3 itself is also going to be against 1 anacite predator drone, to get a 1 enemy combat encounter in normal circumstances.

Approaching the final area, a group of 3 Mechs I made (2 CR 7 and 1 larger CR9) to test the enemy mech rules, and mech on mech combat.

The final area will be a young dragon with a couple of drones equipped to heal the dragon up a bit for the final confrontation that helps put something of a narrative behind the whole thing as "a dragon and his followers gaining control of an area that you need to take back" and have one final difficult battle.

I don't know, but it will definitely involve the heroes piloting a giant mechanical t-rex.
