  • When a foe lands critical hit while you are in your mech, 10% of damage goes directly towards the pilot. Other instances where the pilot can get damaged while piloting the mech is any constitution checks like surviving the heat of a volcano or withstanding a deep fall, this will be down to the DM's digression.
