Firedrake
Rolled into a skirmish instead of firing from range, this dragon-headed siege weapon switches between a scorching line and a cone of flame.
This alchemical black powder hybrid siege weapon uses a blast of black powder to spray alchemical fire from a long metal nozzle, often sculpted or painted with designs resembling a dragon's neck and head. The nozzle turns on a ratcheted, rotating disc with a reservoir in the center to hold a barrel full of combustible alchemical liquid, using black powder to propel the fire. This main structure is atop a wheeled cart to allow it to be easily moved. Unlike most mounted siege weapons, a firedrake is intended to be wheeled out into the thick of a skirmish rather than shooting from a distance. Aim 2 rotate 45º Load 2 (Manipulate) 3 times, requires a successful DC 20 Athletics check Launch 1 (Manipulate) 8d6 fire plus 1d6 persistent fire, 60-foot line or 30-foot cone, DC 23 Reflex. Switching between the firedrake's line or cone mode takes an Interact action, and any of the crew can perform the action.
