Cannon

These weapons are more refined versions of bombards. They have long, slim barrels made from high-quality bronze and they fire wrought-iron shot in a low, flat trajectory. They are fairly accurate.

Cannons are subject to misfires just as bombards are. A shot from a light cannon requires 10 charges of smoke powder or gunpowder. A medium cannon requires 15 charges, and a heavy cannon requires 20 charges.

A light or medium cannon can change facing 45 degrees during the End-of-Round step of any round when it fires. A full crew working nonstop can change a heavy cannon’s facing in 15 minutes.

The sound of cannon fire can panic some creatures just as a bombard’s can.
