Alternative Weapon Stations
On Infernal War Machines, one weapon station can be switched for another, but the infernal war machine can’t have more weapon stations than it normally has. A handful of alternative weapon stations are described in this section.
Acidic Bile Sprayer
This hose weapon is attached to demonic organs that produce an acidic bile that dissolves flesh on contact. Acidic Bile Sprayer (Requires 1 Crew and Grants Half Cover, Recharge 5–6). Acidic bile sprays from a nozzle in a 30-foot cone. Each creature in the cone must make a DC 12 Dexterity saving throw, taking 40 (9d8) acid damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. A creature reduced to 0 hit points by this damage is dissolved, leaving behind any objects it was carrying or wearing.Flamethrower
Although useless against devils, this weapon is great against flammable creatures and objects. Flamethrower (Requires 1 Crew and Grants Half Cover). Fire shoots out of the weapon’s nozzle in a 60-foot line that is 5 feet wide. Each creature in the line must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw, taking 18 (4d8) fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. The fire ignites any flammable objects in the area that aren’t being carried or worn.Infernal Screamer
A writhing humanoid torso made of melting wax juts out from this station, with a barbed hand crank between its shoulder blades. The figure telepathically shrieks in agony when the crank is turned. Infernal Screamer (Requires 1 Crew and Grants Half Cover). The screamer’s operator targets one creature it can see within 120 feet of the screamer. The target must make a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw, taking 26 (4d12) psychic damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.Styx Sprayer
This flexible hose is connected to a tank that holds 30 gallons of water from the River Styx. Each use of the weapon depletes 10 gallons of the water. Refilling the tank requires access to the Styx. Styx Sprayer (Requires 1 Crew and Grants Half Cover; 3 Uses). Ranged Spell Attack: +5 to hit, range 30 ft., one creature. Hit: The creature is struck by water from the River Styx and targeted by a feeblemind spell (save DC 20). An already feebleminded creature is immune to this effect, as is a creature adapted to the River Styx. If the target fails its saving throw and the spell’s effect on it is not ended within 30 days, the effect becomes permanent, whereupon the creature loses all its memories and becomes a near-mindless shell of its former self. At that point, nothing short of divine intervention can undo the effect.
