Gunpowder is very unstable, so all cannons are forged in Tritium, which means cannons are very expensive.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Fire Projector<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A large iron cannon which spouts flames in a long arc towards enemies. Objects and creatures hit with a Fire Projector are lit on fire. They suffer 1d6+1 additional damage for 1d6 rounds or until extinguished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Jettison<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A jettison is a catapulting net that throws a large amount of small objects and shrapnel. A jettison is a ranged area-of-effect weapon that affects all crew on deck, as well as the ship itself. Each creature in the targeted hex may attempt a Dodge roll to avoid the attack. A successful Dodge means the creature takes no damage from the jettison.A hex that has been hit with Jettison becomes hazardous and requires 2 move actions to traverse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Turret<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Turrets allow ship weapons to be mounted and swivel to shoot at any facing. A weapon can be turned to any facing as a free action within one turn.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Weapon RangeIncrement (HEX) Damage Deck Space \/ Tonnage HP Can be turret mounted Rate of Fireper full round Quick Reload Difficulty # PersonnelMin\/Max Price Light Ballista 0-6 2d6+10 10*x5 \/ 1\/2 15 1\/2 Average 1\/2 400 gp Medium Ballista 0-4 3d6+20 10&#215;10 \/ 2 20 X 1\/3 Difficult 2\/3 600 gp Heavy Ballista 0-2 5d6+30 &#8230; <a title=\"Ship Weapons\" class=\"read-more\" href=\"http:\/\/www.sagaborn.com\/starborn\/ship-weapons\/\" aria-label=\"Read more about Ship Weapons\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-352","page","type-page","status-publish"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.sagaborn.com\/starborn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/352","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.sagaborn.com\/starborn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.sagaborn.com\/starborn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.sagaborn.com\/starborn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.sagaborn.com\/starborn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=352"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"http:\/\/www.sagaborn.com\/starborn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/352\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":510,"href":"http:\/\/www.sagaborn.com\/starborn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/352\/revisions\/510"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.sagaborn.com\/starborn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=352"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
