| Aug 23, 2022 at 13:07 | comment | added | Nobody the Hobgoblin | @PlayPatrice What I mean is, I don’t think a large object is a creature. All objects have hp and AC, that does not make them creatures, and some like the artificers cannon (if memory serves) have to hit too, and still are no creatures. Attack bonus I think does not make it a creature. But I could be wrong on that, hence my suggestion to make a separate question for it. | |
| Aug 22, 2022 at 16:09 | comment | added | Play Patrice | Its asking if a siege weapon (A creature by the stat block) can make more than 1 attack per round. This awnser assumed and treats this creature as a weapon. If it were a weapon the awnser is simple - give a fighter Crossbow mastery (Its a large crowsbow afterall) and he can use action surge - ignore the loading requirement, and go to town. That would be your limit to rate of fire. | |

| Aug 22, 2022 at 15:50 | comment | added | Play Patrice | I just realized something - The stat card here is that "Large Object" is a creature type, complete with HP, immunities, etc. The Balistae is a creature with special rules that 3 external entities must spend their actions on it in order for it make an attack. As a creature it gets an 1 action and 1 move action, 1 reaction, 1 bonus action. meaning - despite how many people using actions to prep the monster - it still has only 1 action per round. i.e. One attack. Proof is that it has it's own attack bonus - it doesnt use the bonus of the crew-but the crew could use the help action on it | |

| Aug 21, 2022 at 8:08 | comment | added | Play Patrice | A round is 6 seconds. A modern Howitzer is capable of firing 6 rounds per minute (1 shot every 6 seconds) for the first two minutes. - Your proposing ancient weaponry rate beat out modern mechanical firing systems with pre-manufactured rounds. army-technology.com/projects/m119a1-a2-howitzer/…. | |
