Mortar Launcher

Projectile Launcher

Feat Prerequisites: Weapon Proficiency (select Heavy Weapons)

The Merr-Sonn MobileMortar-3 is typical of Mortar Launchers wielded by soldiers. The Mortar Launcher is popular with insurgents, partisans, and other underdog armies because of its ease of use, low cost, and ability to drop shells on the enemy from behind cover at a distance. The Mortar Launcher consists of a tube, a tripod, and a magazine along with a built-in computer that adjusts for wind and other environmental factors.

The magazine holds five shells and allows the Mortar Launcher to automatically reload after every shot. Alternatively, the wielder can drop a single shell down the open tube, and the powerful electromagnet at the base launches the shell.

A Mortar Launcher lobs shells in a high Arc. Additionally, when you launch a Mortar at a target, you can treat the Weapon's point of origin as being 20 squares in the air for the purposes of determining line of sight and Cover. Mortar Launchers fire Mortar Shells, which are statistically identical to Grenades.
