This magic light ballista does not use traditional ammunition. Instead, it fires a 60-foot line of lightning when triggered. Creatures in the path of the bolt take 5d6 points of electricity damage (Reflex DC 14 half). A lightning ballista can be fired only once per minute (except in a stormy environment, where it can be fired every other round). A lightning ballista requires no loading time or attack roll.
Prerequisites: Craft Magic Arms and Armor, lightning bolt.
Cost to Create: 7,500 gp (plus cost of masterwork light ballista), 600 XP, 15 days.
