Thanks for the responses.
Just had a massive brain fart when doing the bonuses to rolls for my attack :o

One last question, for now.
I want to double check that I'm not being too literal with the reading of this (though even the intent seems to agree). With Hit and Run is the extra move action only allowed after the full round? :p
Do you know how long someone who is as sarcastic as I am would last in prison? Suuuuuuch a long time.

Yes. Specifically lets you fire and then move.

EDIT: Remember that mecha ranged weapons add dex to damage.

Frick.

Oslecamo, can you please make note of that with the damage? I didn't add my Dex mod (+3) to the attack damage. My bad :(

Sure, no problem.

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?
Kick them out.

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.
Correct.

So, back to my previous question: how should I go about fluffing these ally-buffing maneuvers?

Sugestions:
-Your ship collects battlefield data and streams it to the other pilots, including video-calls holograms poping up inside the cockpits.
-Your ship uses giant laser pointers/flares to llight up the enemies.
-Considering you're a rock bard, you start up a light show during battle?

I'll save the light show for higher-level maneuvers. :lmao

My High End character is currently using a Plain History created version of aid another to buff people. I'm fluffing it as he creates a map of the area in his head, figures out the best attack angles and strategies, and relays it to the target of the AA action. 

You get +5 on your next melee attack because of this, by the way.

Kinda depressing, because my plan was 'use Strike'. :(

It works on your next attack roll within 12 minutes. Strike doesn't require a roll, so you don't lose the bonus.

Dammit, I just realized that I did something dumb with my class choice.  There is a homebrew that Oslecamo has approved in another one of his games that would have been perfect instead of going with Incarnum.   :shakefist

Remember that this is the very tightly restricted game?

I remember, and the class/system would most likely still be okay.  I know what I'm talking about.   :P

I'm talking about this.  It is similar to Incarnum but all sciency.  Not guaranteed that it would have been approved but it is on part with Incarnum power wise.

Not that it matters now, it's a bit late to change my build.   :-\

My impression was that homebrew, even homebrew that would otherwise be approved, was, if not outright banned, then strongly discouraged in order to keep this game simple.

Otherwise I'd probably have gone with a homebrew class of some sort (or at least Martial Study and stance from the Breath of Fire discipline.)

3. Try to keep homebrew stuff to a minimum.

Discouraged yes, but not banned.  That's why I said not guaranteed to be approved. 

It doesn't really matter though, it is too late to change anything.  I don't know why you people keep asking me questions about it.   :P

I went and read that before posting, but I guess my interpretation of it and the resulting conversation was more to the "discouraged meaning please don't do it" end than yours.

Either way, not a big deal. If some amount of homebrew is ok, I'll seriously consider taking/ retraining feats for BoF maneuvers in a level or two. 

On that note, do Pilot classes count as martial adepts for the purposes of martial study? If so, does the "don't expend maneuvers, pay energy for them instead" aspect of pilot maneuvers apply to maneuvers learned that way?

Homebrew allowance may change in the future, depending on how this campaign progresses up.

Yes.
