Heavy Servo-Turret

Saves: Toughness +7

Senses: Targeting cogitator ignores dim light and smoke within its arc of fire

Machine Mind. The heavy servo-turret does not make Morale checks. It holds its lane forever.

Armored Housing. Attacks against the turret's frontal armor deal 3 less damage. Attacks against its rear access panels ignore this reduction and gain +2 to hit.

Overwatch Cogitator. The turret's Reactive Fire never suffers Disadvantage and may trigger twice per round instead of once.

Anti-Materiel Round. Ranged Attack: +6 to hit, range 150/450 ft., one target. Hit: 2d12 + 4 ballistic damage. The shot punches through light cover, and any cover in its lane it strikes is degraded one step.

Saturation Burst. The turret suppresses a 15-foot zone within its arc. Creatures in the zone make a Willpower Save DC 13 or become Pinned until the start of the turret's next turn.

Overwatch Fire. The turret makes Reactive Fire against a creature crossing its arc. Per its Overwatch Cogitator, this may occur twice per round.

Morale: Does not make Morale checks (machine mind). It is active until destroyed, powered down, or fed false credentials.

Tactics: Treat it as terrain with a kill count: establish its arc early, then make the encounter about the approach — vents, smoke, power conduits, the operator's shack. Direct assault should feel like a failed plan.

Loot / Evidence / Hooks: The operator's shack holds its credential wafers and the power schematics for every emplacement on this level.

A Heavy Servo-Turret is an emplaced weapon system that owns a lane outright — anti-materiel fire behind armor plate and a targeting cogitator with infinite patience. Crossing its arc without a plan is not a risk; it is a result.

Use this enemy when a corridor, gate, or courtyard must be genuinely impassable until the party solves it.

Threat Profile: High durability behind armor, devastating lane damage, strong Suppression, no morale, immobile, defeated by geometry, sabotage, or spoofed credentials rather than attrition.

Machine Mind. No morale; it holds its lane forever.

Armored Housing. Frontal attacks deal reduced damage; rear access panels do not.

Overwatch Cogitator. Its Reactive Fire does not suffer Disadvantage and may trigger twice per round.

Anti-Materiel Round. Heavy attack that punches through light cover; cover in its lane degrades with use.

Saturation Burst. Suppresses a 15-foot zone in its arc; failed Willpower Saves cause Pinned.

Morale: None. Active until destroyed, powered down, or fed false credentials.

Tactics: Treat the turret as terrain with a kill count: establish its arc early, then make the encounter about the approach — vents, smoke, power conduits, the operator's shack. Direct assault should feel like a failed plan, not a bold one. Pair with infantry who herd the party into the lane.
