Tanks and War Engines?
« on: May 12, 2017, 09:24:26 AM »
Are there any sources with things along the lines of Tanks and War Engines? There are of course Siege Weapons like catapults and such, but veichles like Tanks seem a bit sparse. I suspect Eberron might have something, and I am sure Dragon has something. If not, I can always dive into d20 modern I guess.
Im really bad at what I do.

Stormwreck has ships which can be made to fly and Eberron has Airships that already fly. It's kind of a tank, just bigger, with more weapons, crew, rules, and a huge price tag.

Arms & Equipment guide has a surprising amount of war vehicles in it.

Eberron has magnet powered trains, lightrails basically, that aren't limited to preset traintracks. Yanno, for making guntrains. Affix large artillery options onto train cars.

If you're going to use those it'll be worth looking into Modern's vehicles or even starships.

They use a complicated attack-the-sections type combat that was loosely modeled after Star Wars's in depth ships from what I understand. By the time Modern's supplements rolled around they simplified things a bit more.
