My bad, your readied action was spoilered at bottom and I ended up missing it. Rolled them and edited in IC.

I'm unsure as to if this works:
As a free action at the start of my turn I use Accel. Do I move 15 feet/mu straight away? Or is that added to my possible movement for the turn? Is it halved if I'm hiding and want to continue hiding?
Can I then fire a heavy weapon? (the one that takes a full round to use)
After that, because I'm in the Hit and Run stance, can I then move again?

Also, this may be an idiotic question, but are my maneuvers and spirit abilities available outside of my mecha? Assumption is, currently on, that I can use them.

One more question. Does hovering, assuming you have flight capabilities in your mecha, use any energy? Or only moving?

Do you know how long someone who is as sarcastic as I am would last in prison? Suuuuuuch a long time.

Spirits and pilot feats work outside mecha. Maneuvers from pilot schools require energy to activate, so they don't work if you have no energy to spend (which you won't outside your mecha unless you're a moon vanguard.)

As currently written, flight only expends energy if you move.

Thanks. Moved the spirit spoiler around on my character to sheet to help me remember that.

Therefore stances will only work inside mecha, too?
I've never used a character with maneuvers before. Do stances require anything to activate?

Stances take a swift action to activate then they stay on until you exit or go into a different one.

Pilot school stances also cost energy equal to the cost of a maneuver of their level when you enter them (so they can't be used unless you have energy.) They don't take any energy to keep up once you're in the stance.

I've asked about how Accel works as well and didn't get an answer.

Going by reading Love further down the page, it's a speed increase of 15 MU/feet for the round. All penalties etc. liable to apply normally.

It adds to your movement speed, clarified. So you don't get a free move action out of it.

Yes only to spirits.

Only moving.

Yes.

Maneuvers from pilot schools can be used outside mechas? Without energy?

IF you're a Moon Vanguard, yes.

That would not be "without energy." Also, Elevated Beat (who is the one who asked this question, no idea how it got credited to Arias, he's not even in this game) is not playing a moon vanguard.

Hugh, only spirits. That's what I get for replying to so many questions in such short time. :blush

Hmm, what would happen if a pilot got in their mecha, entered a stance paying the energy to do so, then got out of the mecha without exiting the stance?

Would getting out of the mecha kick them out of the stance or would they be able to retain the benefit?

They'd obviously lose it. Technically the mecha has the stance, not the pilot.

Both the pilot and the robot know the stance.

This raises an interesting question: do Guts, Refresh, and the other healing Spirits also work on foot?

They work but they heal mecha HP, not creature HP. For the same reason you can't cast Heal on a mecha (confirmed earlier in the thread), you can't use a healing spirit to heal a non mecha.

You could use Faith or Trust to heal an allied Moon Vanguard when out of your mecha, however.

Corrected an error on the character sheet- didn't realize Super Pilot was full BAB. Also working on the post.
