Siege Equipment

Covers operating and maintaining large-scale battlefield weapons, such as:

• Ballistae (giant crossbows)
• Catapults (flings massive projectiles)
• Trebuchets (larger catapults with counterweights)
• Battering Rams (used to break gates/walls)

Siege weapons typically require multiple operators and are too large for individual use.

Proficiency Benefits: If proficient, the character can add their proficiency bonus when making attack rolls or ability checks to operate, aim, or maintain siege weapons.

Siege weapons typically require special rules, found in the Dungeon Master’s Guide.
