[QUOTE="marcoasalazarm, post: 9201535, member: 26698"] Ok, this is something quickly cobbled together for (the now way too late) Thanksgiving. This has a serious lack of adjustment, so for now consider it "0.01 Edition" (and could use some help with that). Also shows how rusty I am... And yeah, the art is Artificial Intelligence. Made on Bing Image Generator. Will go ahead and correct this eventually.

They can either be the result of some idiot deciding to use a tank for their Thanksgiving parade float and forgetting to remove the ammo, or angry Fictional turkeys deciding to go on a rampage to avenge their fallen brethen, or groups like S.C.A.L.E. and Dirt First deciding to send a message. These tanks could either be actual (stolen or scavenged) armored vehicles, unconventional combat vehicles cobbled together using military hardware, turkey physiology and roasting equipment, or huge mutant cyborg turkeys. Because of the huge importance of the date as an American tradition, Turkey Tanks appear mostly on American soil, although occasionally they also make an appearance in locations around the world (or in other worlds) that celebrate Thanksgiving, or just places where a lot of turkeys are eaten. The particular example of a Turkey Tank that these stats portray was built from pieces of scavenged farm and armored vehicles and the roasted remains of a mutant turkey made gigantic through a Szalinski Growth Ray. The engine uses cranberry-based biofuel. The Turkey Tank is only armed with a 120mm smoothbore gun, and lacks a turret so it can only shoot what is in front of it within a limited traverse arc like tank destroyers. It is surprisingly resilient for a giant hollowed-out turkey. The Turkey Tank is three squares wide and four squares long, weighting 50 tons empty. The Turkey Tank provides full cover to its occupants. Its tank cannon can only hit anything within the vehicle's Front arc (D20 Modern rulebook, page 155). The Turkey Tank's biological elements (read: the turkey meat and baster, cranberry sauce and gravy) can supply enough for a Thanksgiving dinner capable of feeding 500 people (this can change depending on amount of people or how badly the Turkey Tank has been damaged). This particular example of a Turkey Tank can only be accessed through a top hatch (cleverly concealed amongst the gravy spread on top) and an underside hatch (full round action to enter through either hatch (two through the top hatch if the character is trying to keep the gravy undisturbed), one full-round action to start the vehicle). As this particular example of a Turkey Tank is made of scavenged parts, the Purchase DC represents a speculative price for all of the necessary parts to cobble it together (with GM call on availability of some, such as weapons) more than an actual price for a complete tank.
