I have a need for a extremely long range Siege Weapon (1.5+ mile range). Going by RAW this is what I came up with:
+1 Fiends Mouth Cannon enchanted with Teleport Object.
Cost: 196000gp
Cost breakdown
+1 Weapon bonus: 2000gp (guessing here)
Masterwork Weapon 3000gp (couldn't find anything specific on this)
Use activated Spell Effect: 182000 (Spell Level X Caster Level X 2000, 7 X 13 X 2000)
Cannon cost: 9000gp
Firing the cannon would require 2 special people, one aiming with the crew, and a spotter. The person aiming would need to be a wizard/druid/bard of at least 7th level with the scry Spell prepared. The spotter can be anyone, but would preferably be someone the wizard is familiar with and also good at stealth.
The wizard would scry the spotter to get an idea of how to aim the cannon. The first shot would invite the standard -6 penalty for not being able to accurately see the target. Each subsequent shot would reduce this as long as the wizard is scrying the spotter.
Additional information:
According to page 443 of the CRB in the falling section: "Casting Teleport or a similar Spell while falling doesn't end your momentum, it just changes your location, meaning that you still take falling damage,even if you arrive atop a solid surface."
What do y'all think? Does this work? Is the cost correct? Anything I missed?
