Armored Personnel Carrier (5e Equipment)

Cost: Uncommon Weight: 14 tons Speed: Top speed 420 ft. (42 mph); acceleration 40 ft. (4 mph) per round Carrying Capacity: 4 tons Strength: 20 Dexterity: 12 Constitution: 24 Armored personnel carriers (APCs) are military vehicle designed to transport personnel and equipment in and around combat zones. Compared to heavier armored fighting vehicles such as tanks, they are less well-protected, but are significantly more agile. On a full tank of gasoline, it has an operational range of 300 miles of travel. Due to its rugged design, an APC's speed is not reduced by nonmagical difficult terrain. An APC's crew and passengers have three-quarters cover, unless they are manning a turret on the top, in which case the gunner only has half cover. APCs also have firing ports, allowing the passengers to shoot out at the enemy. Armament. APCs always have a heavy machine gun turret, but can be equipped with a wide variety of secondary weaponry. Weaponry that replaces the APC's heavy machine gun have disadvantage on attack rolls, or targets have advantage on saving throws the weapon causes, if the APC has moved since the beginning of the driver's previous turn. Potential armaments include: A multiple grenade launcher, typically for generating smoke screens. Flamethrowers, particularly in guerilla warfare. A mortar for supporting troops after exiting the APC. A set of missile launchers, typically as mobile artillery or anti-aircraft conversions. A light autocannon in place of its heavy machine gun for engaging armored targets. An automatic grenade launcher in place of its heavy machine gun for engaging large numbers of targets, or targets behind good cover. Amphibious Variant. Most modern APCs are designed to travel on both land and water, typically by using flotation curtains and treads, granting the APC a 35 ft. (30.5 ½ mph) swim speed. Size: Huge AC: 18 Hit Points: 300 (damage threshold 15) Crew and Passengers: 1 driver; 1 commander; 11 passengers
