Ionized Plasma Cyclone Mk-VIISci-Fi Turret

Ionized Plasma Cyclone Mk-VII

very rare tracking turret

Damage: 6d10 plasma

Firing Mode: auto

Range: long

Rate of Fire: 8 rounds/turn

Ammo Capacity: 2000

Energy Cost: 85

Deployment: Requires 2 crew (gunner + systems operator), a class-IV power core, and 2 full rounds to initialize ion ring calibration. Compatible with tank turret rings, airframe hardpoints, or fortified ground bases.

On Hit: Ion Ring Amplification: Each plasma round passes through the ion ring, gaining +2d6 bonus energy damage and ignoring up to 5 points of energy resistance.
Passive: Suppression Field: Any enemy that enters or starts its turn in the turret's fire arc must succeed on a DC 16 Morale check or use its action to take cover (area denial effect).
Activated: Shuriken Volley: Once per turn, launch up to 2 plasma or ion shurikens at targets within 60 ft. Plasma shurikens deal 3d8 plasma damage; ion shurikens deal 2d8 ion damage and impose disadvantage on the target's next energy resistance roll.
On Critical Hit: Plasma Overload: On a critical hit, the target must make a DC 15 Constitution save or be stunned until the end of their next turn as plasma energy surges through their systems.
On Deploy: Ion Ring Warm-Up: For the first round after deployment, the turret fires at half rate (4 rounds/turn) and does not benefit from Ion Ring Amplification while the ring calibrates.

The Ionized Plasma Cyclone Mk-VII fires 8 simultaneous plasma rounds per turn, each ionized through a mounted ring array for amplified damage. Base attack roll: +8 to hit. On a hit, deal 6d10 plasma damage plus 2d6 ion bonus damage (from Ion Ring Amplification). The turret holds 4 plasma shurikens and 4 ion shurikens for close-range engagements (Shuriken Volley action). Shurikens do not benefit from the ion ring. The turret requires 85 energy units per turn of sustained fire and has a 2000-round plasma cell capacity. Reloading takes 3 full rounds and requires the systems operator. If the power core drops below class-III output, the ion ring deactivates and bonus damage is lost until restored.

“An 8-barreled minigun mounted on turret bases, tanks, and/or planes that fires plasma bullets that go through an ion ring for maximum damage. It has four plasma shurikens mounted on it and four ion shurikens for closer combat.”
