Stasian Sled

Originally invented in Ustalav, a Stasian sled is instantly recognizable in any army that fields it. The device employs alchemically enhanced batteries, complex wire coils, and an adjustable rod arrangement to generate a directed blast of electricity. Early prototypes relied on an even-longer central rod and had to be used during thunderstorms as they drew power directly from natural lightning. With further developments in the understanding of Stasian technology, the Stasian sled is no longer weather dependent, though it does tend to go through batteries at a shocking rate. It's no longer advisable to field a Stasian sled during a thunderstorm, as even though much of the equipment is grounded, the device still attracts lightning bolts like a lantern draws moths, invariably dealing significant damage to the crew. The typical crew wrangles the batteries, with one crew member operating the aiming mechanism via a crank. Aim 2 rotate 45° Load 1 (Manipulate) 6 times, requires a successful DC 20 Athletics check; each Load action replaces a spent battery Launch 1 (manipulate) 7d12 lightning, 60-foot line, DC 29 Reflex
