See Space Marines (5e Creature) Devastators are the heavy weapons specialists of the space marines. They lumber into battle with massive guns fed by power conduits and ammunition belts connected to their backpacks, and they excel at standing firm while pulverizing the enemy at range. Slow and Steady. Devastators are not as fast as other space marines due to the sheer size and weight of both their weapons and the backpack-mounted feeds for these weapons. To make up for this lack of speed, their armour has been modified in various ways to provide them with a superior degree of stability; once a devastator has taken up a position somewhere, dislodging him is very difficult. Bullet Storm. The typical devastator is armed with a heavy bolter, a belt-fed weapon that can fire hundreds of rounds a minute. While capable of precise shots in the right hands, this weapon’s true value lies in suppressing enemy movements with a continuous spray of bolt rounds, forcing them to hunker down behind cover until the devastator runs out of ammunition. Several devastators working in tandem can easily keep squads of enemies pinned down, allowing other space marines to close in and finish those enemies off. Variant Equipment: Flamer or Missile Launcher Instead of a heavy bolter, a devastator marine may carry a flamer or a missile launcher. A devastator marine armed with either of these weapons cannot use its Multiattack, Burst Fire or Suppressing Fire features. These weapons do not alter the space marine’s challenge rating. Flamer. The space marine sprays a jet of liquid flame covering a 30-foot cone. All creatures within that cone must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw, taking 22 (4d10) fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. Flammable objects and structures within the area catch fire. Missile Launcher. The space marine fires a missile aimed at a point within 120 feet that it can see. All creatures within a 20-foot radius of that point must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw, taking 22 (4d10) slashing damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. |
