SPECIAL TRAITS

• Cannonball Recharge. The autocannon has 12 cannonballs. Used cannonballs recharge when the autocannon finishes a long rest.
• Combustion Engine. When the construct dies, it inflicts 10 (3d6) fire damage in a 5 ft. radius. Creatures in the radius can make a DC 14 Dexterity saving throw for half damage. Alternately, when it suffers a critical hit or dies, roll on the Combustion Engine Malfunction table.
• Constructed Nature. The construct doesn’t require air, food, drink, or sleep.
• Repairable. A DC 10 tinker’s tools check restores one hit point for each point rolled over the DC.
• Rolling Charge. If the autocannon rolls at least 20 feet straight toward a target and then hits it with a slam attack on the same turn, the target takes an extra 7 (2d6) bludgeoning damage. If the target is a creature, it must succeed on a DC 11 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone.

ACTIONS

• Slam. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 6 (1d6 + 3) bludgeoning damage.
• Cannon (Recharge 3-6). Ranged Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, range 600/2,400 ft., one target. Hit: 44 (8d10) bludgeoning damage.

ABOUT

This wheeled cannon moves of its own accord!

Essentially mobile defense systems, these autocannons attack any living creature they detect and fire at them. They have a storage of 12 cannonballs in a chamber beneath that allows them to fire continuously, although the loading mechanism is finicky and their rate of fire uneven.
