This page is incomplete and/or lacking flavor. Reason: "Mishap" is not really explained, what is the "mishap threshold", how is the table used, etc? Weapon attacks are not worded correctly (e.g. as written then are not weapon attacks; appears to be an area of effect but uses an attac roll so how does targeting work, is it one roll per creature in the area?)

Cost: 300000gp Weight: 35 tons Speed: 150 ft Carrying Capacity: 1 ton ignoring fuel. The Cyklop Stormwalker is a large bipedal walker from the universe of Leviathan (by Scott Westerfeld). It is mainly an anti-infantry unit, but the main cannon can be used against heavier foes. In the books, the Cyklop Stormwalker is mobilised by the Austrian military against the allied powers. The Cyklop Stormwalker's armament consists of two MG-08 Spandau Heavy Machine Guns and a 57mm cannon, however, if you want to play this vehicle in a more fantasy based dungeon, it might be more apt to replace the machine guns with heavy mounted crossbows, and the 57mm cannon with a lightning cannon (specifics below).
