Siege Weapons
Siege weapons are constructs comprised of many objects, and are
designed to assail or protect heavily fortified areas. Most siege weapons cannot
traverse the battlefield on their own, and may require several creatures to move
or operate them.

Modular. The heavy turret can be fitted onto a vehicle with
the siege weapon feature. While mounted to a vehicle in this way, you can
ignore this stat-block's armor class, hit points, and immunity features. The
siege weapon instead functions as a feature of the vehicle it is mounted on.
Heavy Turret
Large Object
Armor Class 15
Hit Points 50
Damage Immunities poison, psychic
A rotatable weapon mount that houses the crew and/or mechanism of a ballistics-firing
weapon.
This weapon is prone to overheating when fired. At the end of each
round, roll a d6 if this weapon was fired. You must roll higher than the
number of rounds the heavy turret has been fired in succession (1 on round 1,
2 on round 2, etc.). If you do not, the heavy turret overheats and cannot be
used for 3 rounds of combat.
Fire. The heavy turret fires up to 120 feet away, targeting
a 10-foot-square area. Each creature in that area must make a DC 15 Dexterity
saving throw, taking 26 (4d12) piercing damage on a failed save, or half as
much damage on a successful one.
Modular. The heavy turret can be fitted onto a vehicle with
the siege weapon feature. While mounted to a vehicle in this way, you can
ignore this stat-block's armor class, hit points, and immunity features. The
siege weapon instead functions as a feature of the vehicle it is mounted on.

Vehicles
Vehicles are mechanical constructs comprised out of many objects. To assist in running adventures where vehicles engage in combat,
travel, or face other relevant situations, the following section presents rules and
stat blocks for governing vehicles.
Capacity
A vehicle's capacity describes how many creatures the vehicle is designed to carry. More
creatures can be transported by climbing atop or clinging to the outside of the
vehicle.
Armor Class
A vehicle's Armor Class is equal to its Constitution score.
Hit Points
A vehicle's hit points can only be restored by a creature in posession of either smith's
tools or tinker's tools. Performing these repairs takes 1 hour, and requires a
successful DC 15 smith's tools (Dexterity) or tinker's tools (Intellgence) check.
If the repair succeeds, the vehicle regains 10 (3d6) hit points. The check can be
repeated as many times as necessary, though a DM may require players to pay a fee
for replacement parts. The creature performing repairs cannot be operating one of the
vehicles station's during repair work.
Damage Threshold Heavily armored vehicles can shrug off damage. If a
vehicle has a damage threshold, that means it has immunity to all damage unless the
damage is equal or greater than it's damage threshold value.
Example: If a vehicle has a damage threshold of 10, and it is hit for 9 damage,
then the vehicle takes 0 damage. However, if the vehicle is hit for 10 or more
damage, then it takes the full amount.
Malfunction Some vehicles have a malfunction score. If a vehicle takes
damage from a single source equal to or greater than its malfunction score, it
must roll on the malfunctions table below. A vehicle must also roll on the malfunctions
table if it (or its driver) fails an ability check related to handling the vehicle
by more than 5.
Malfunctions with a Fix DC can be fixed as an action by a creature using smith's tools or
tinker's tools. If the creature has proficiency in the tool set, they can apply their
proficiency bonus (They may apply double their proficiency bonus if proficient in
both tool sets). The creature performing the fix has disadvantage if the fix is
performed in combat and the vehicle has moved during the current round.
1
Engine Trouble. The engine begins to sputter and smoke, causing the
vehicle to shake. Until this malfunction is fixed, the creature operating the
helm must roll a d20 at the start of every turn. If they roll a 10 or
lower, the vehicle will not move. If they roll an 11 or higher, it will move
at half movement speed.
15 (Dexterity)
2-4
Steering Locked. The vehicle can only move in a straight line. It
automatically fails Dexterity checks and saving throws.
15 (Strength)
5-6
Damaged Weapon. One of the vehicle's weapons is rendered inoperable
(DM's choice). If the vehicle has no functioning weapons, then no malfunction
occurs.
15 (Wisdom)
7
Blown Console. The helm station begins to spew with smoke, heavily
obscuring the driver's view, as well as that of anyone else inside of the
vehicle. Creatures inside of the vehivle are blinded by the smoke.
20 (Intelligence)
8-11
Ruptured Armor. The vehicle's damage threshold is reduced by 5. This
effect can occur more than once and is cumulative. If the vehicle does not have
a damage threshold, then no malfunction occurs.
20 (Strength)
12
Rolled. The vehicle is flipped over and rendered prone. It comes to
a stop in an unoccupied space. Creatures holding on outside the vehicle must
succeed a DC 20 Strength saving throw or be thrown off, landing prone in a
random unoccupied space within 30 feet of the vehicle and take 21 (6d6)
bludgeoning damage (half as much with a success). Creatures inside the vehicle
must succeed a DC 15 Strength saving throw or fall prone and take 10 (3d6)
bludgeoning damage.

Speed
A vehicle's speed determines the distance that the driver operating it's helm can move it.
Mileage
Mileage determines how far the vehicle can travel on a single gallon of fuel. Fuel supplies
may dictate how viable it is to travel great distances with your vehicle. Adding 1
gallon of fuel to a vehicle requires an action, and can only be done from outside of
the vehicle.
Ability Scores
A vehicle has all six ability scores and modifiers. Its size category and weight are
indicative of its Strength. Its Dexterity score corresponds to its maneuverability
and handling. Durability, materials used, and quality of construction are shown in
its Constitution. Usuallt vehicles have a score of 0 in Intelligence, Wisdom, and
Charisma. If a vehicle has a 0 in a score, it automatically fails ability checks
and saving throws that uses that score.
Stations
Creatures can use an action at the vehicle station they are occupying. Once a creature
uses an action at a station, that action cannot be used again until the start of
that creature's next turn.
