The Ionfire Mobile Defense Turret is a 10-foot tall, treaded defensive platform. It moves at 15 ft/turn, requiring 1 action per turn to reposition. It has 200 HP, AC 18, and uses a single main weapon. **Automated Mode:** The turret's AI provides a +3 bonus to attack rolls and automatically distinguishes friend from foe, making it impossible to target friendly units. It fires its main weapon (10d8 ion_laser damage) once every 2 rounds, costing 15 energy per shot. **Manual Mode:** A crew member can use an action to operate the turret, gaining a +2 bonus to attack rolls. In Manual Mode, the turret can fire a sustained beam, dealing 5d8 ion_laser damage each turn at the cost of 10 energy per turn. Friendly fire prevention is disabled in Manual Mode. **Ion Charge:** Any target hit by the Ionfire beam suffers 2d4 energy drain from their power source or battery, in addition to damage. If the target has no accessible energy source, they are Stunned for 1 round (Fortitude save DC 15 to resist). **Power & Setup:** Requires 15 energy units per shot (Automated) or 10 units/turn (Manual). Takes 1 hour to auto-deploy, or 30 minutes with a dedicated crew.
