<onlyinclude>''Basic Features:'' A cannon affixed to a two-wheeled metal trailer. The cannon itself is 12’ long and 1’ wide (at widest point); while the entire trailer is 15’ long, 5’ wide and 5’ high.

''Movement:'' Due to the trailer’s weight it is near impossible to lift, however the wheels are very good and rugged, as such a large-sized creature (or two medium) can move it as a full-round action on smooth terrain. On rough or muddy terrain, it requires a warhorse ([[SRD:Heavy Warhorse|heavy]] or [[SRD:Light Warhorse|light]]), two regular horses, or six medium-sized creatures to move. When moving it is in a “packed” configuration (feet are up, and cannon is retracted).

''Setup and Firing:'' The artillery is converted into a “firing” position by securing a solid foundation around it, dropping the legs, and extending the cannon. To change it to a firing position takes three minutes (for one person). This time can be reduced with the aid of a crew; every added crew member reduces time by 50 seconds (to a minimum of 30 seconds). It requires three minutes to repack (same rules on crew aid benefits). The cannon is breech-loaded with a shell (see below). It requires 12 seconds to load and fire from the artillery.

''Spare Parts and Ammo:'' The trailer comes with a spare tire and parts, plus enough space to store four shells.

''Accurate:'' A howitzer is very accurate, there is only a 10% chance of hitting 1d6x5 feet away from target.</onlyinclude>

''High Tech:'' The price to enchant the Howitzer is tripled.

''Craft (Explosives):'' Engineers with the [[Craft Explosives (3.5e Skill)|craft (explosives)]] skill can craft and repair howitzers and their [[Howitzer (3.5e Equipment)/Ammo|ammo]].

A small howitzer is called a [[Mortar (3.5e Equipment)|mortar]].
