Gargantuan watercraft (armored gunboat, 180 ft. by 40 ft.) Creature Capacity: 54 crew, no passengers.
ActionsThe ironclad has two 11-inch shell guns in a rotating turret (powered by an auxillary "donkey" steam engine) that grants total cover to the guns and gunners. The shell guns can fire roundshot or shell. Roundshot. Ranged Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, range 500 / 2,000 ft., one target. Hit: 71 (13d10) bludgeoning damage. Bombardment: If the ironclad is stationary while the gun aims, the range is 1,000 / 4,000 ft. If the target is moving, the gun has a -5 penalty to the attack roll. Shell. The gun fires a shell at a point within 1,800 feet. Each target within 15-feet of that point takes 45 (13d6) piercing damage. Objects with an AC of 15 or less take double damage. A target can make a DC 13 Dexterity saving throw, halving the damage on a success. In addition, flammable objects at the point of impact are ignited. Bombardment: If the ironclad is stationary while the gun aims, the range is 3,600 ft. If the target is moving, the saving throw DC is 8 (instead of 13).
Ammunition. Each shell gun has 30 roundshot and 30 shells stored under the turret. Additional ammunition can be stored in the ironclad's cargo holds: Each 1 ton of cargo holds 12 roundshot or 15 shell. Magazine. The magazine holds enough powder charges for each gun to fire 280 times. Costs. Each powder charge costs 165 gp; each roundshot costs 65 gp; each shell costs 115 gp. HullArmor Class 19

An industrial-era warship distinguished by its heavy iron armor.
Boats. The ironclad holds two 6-ton boats. Ironclad. It has an AC of 20 from all directions, and any crew members not on the topdeck have total cover. Endurance. The coal bunker holds 200 tons of coal (worth 8,000 gp). For each 50 tons of coal consumed at cruise speed, the engine operates for 10 hours. In addition, the engine's fireboxes can be filled with coal at the start of a journey, operating the engines for 1 hour at cruise speed. It takes 6 hours to heat the engine up to operating pressure from a cold start. ComponentsThis vehicle was created using the Vehicle Construction Kit.[1] Quick rules: If the vehicle takes 200 or more damage in a single attack, one component is disabled. If the vehicle takes 1,000 or more damage in a single attack, two components are destroyed. Disabled components that are disabled again are instead destroyed. Turning. When the vehicle turns, it rotates 45-degrees. Example CrewCrew Details. The minimum crew requirements are: 1 (pilot), 2 (helm), 2 (quarters), 2 (screw propeller), 1 (steam engine stoker). Over 3 shifts, this is 24 crewpersons. In addition, there are 10 officers and 20 gunners. Officers include the commander; an executive officer; a master; four engineers; a paymaster; and a surgeon.
