The pilot can use the apparatus to take any action (other than the {@action Magic|XPHB} action), {@variantrule Bonus Action|XPHB}, or {@variantrule Reaction|XPHB}. Only you can make attack rolls while piloting the apparatus, and use your Intelligence for attack and damage rolls. The apparatus gains the benefits of the pilot's class features and feats, but can't be used to emulate a magical effect."
