Description
A Dreadnought is a 20-foot tall metal construct in the shape of a giant knight, holding a huge lance and with a pair of long, cylindrical cannons mounted on each of its shoulders.
It attacks primarily from range; its cannons have an effective range of 300 feet. In White Box terms, resolve either cannon fire or a lance charge as the creature's single attack for the round. The cannons possess extreme destructive power, capable of causing severe deformation of the surroundings of its targets. If, however, one gets close it will attack with its lance, charging up to twice its movement for the first attack.
As a construct it possesses no mind of its own and therefore is not subject to charm, sleep, or similar effects.
