Arcane Ballista cost
« on: July 20, 2017, 04:01:13 PM »
I was looking at this and wondering about "budget" versions.

It has a Price of 75,000, a cost of 37,000 plus 1,000 for the weapon.
It says the thing is a +3 flaming burst ballista, which is a +5 equivalent weapon.

So subtracting the 50,000 cost of a +5 weapon, a "basic" masterwork version would just cost 12,000 plus 1,000 for the weapon, for a final price of 25,000.

Which leaves it as a large animated object with a masterwork bonus to its ranged attack, and 6 HD instead of 4 HD.
So CR 4, between the "normal" CR 3 of an animated object and the "enhanced" CR 5 of a +5 weapon arcane ballista?

It's certainly possible that CapQ has that in his EVD,
and may have done reverse engineering on it.
(which he's done to lots of other things)


PsyWar Soulbound Weapon acf (not what you'rer asking)
can make an almost version of said Ballista with this ability
and wield it, maybe even effectively.
Your codpiece is a mimic.
