Flute Rocket
Set behind the line, this siege rocket arcs over walls at long range, letting a crew silence enemy artillery unseen.
A design originating from Irrisen, the flute rocket marries the high angle of fire used by a mortar with a more refined rocket. This allows the superior range of the rocket and angle of fire to reach far behind walls and emplacements. Flute rocket crews set the weapon well behind their front line, often behind walls or even buildings, relying on a spotter to aid in calibrating the aim of the rockets without exposing the crew to return fire. Flute rockets are particularly effective at neutralizing opposing artillery, leveraging their range and angle of attack to take out cannons without fear of reprisal. Aim 2 50 feet, minimum distance 100 feet Load 2 (Manipulate) 3 times Launch 1 (Attack, manipulate, range increment 250 feet) 11d10 bludgeoning, 20-foot burst, DC 34 Reflex. Because a flute rocket launches its rocket at a high angle, the rocket descends on the center of the burst from above, not in a straight line from the flute rocket. This affects whether creatures have cover from the flute rocket launch.
