Artillery.....

[Torillan]

Has anyone done or seen any stats on early gunpowder artillery? Things like cannon and siege guns? I'd appreciate any help. Even suggestions. Thanks!

I haven't seen rules for cannons or stuff like that, but you could probably make your own by adapting the ballista and catapult rules on pages 151-152 of the DMG. Using the catapult as the base for the cannon, you could simply increase the damage, maybe give a bonus to the aiming, and keep the reload time the same, and you have a cannon! It's a quick fix, but if you can't find anything better this may be your best bet.

The Witchfire trilogy has stats for cannons and gunpowder explosives in the third adventure (The Legion of Lost Souls). Balanced-high damage vs. long reloading time.

Sorry, the only 3E stats/rules I have for artillery are for WWII to modern units

Do any of the sources have rules for barrel melting since that was a problem after repeated fireings.
