Description
The Defensive Ballista Tower rises above the battlefield as a symbol of strength and vigilance. Built of rugged stone and reinforced with timber, this tower provides an imposing vantage point for defending the walls of any medieval fortress or fantasy stronghold.

On the battlements, a massive rotatable ballista waits to unleash devastating volleys against siege engines and advancing infantry. Inside, a functional gatehouse with barred entry conceals a small storage chamber, perfect for supplies or contraband awaiting discovery in a tense roleplay encounter.

Imagine your players storming the fortress walls under a rain of oversized bolts, or manning the ballista themselves in a desperate bid to hold back an oncoming horde. The tower’s open platform and removable weapon provide endless opportunities for both narrative encounters and tactical skirmish play.

Historical Relevance
Ballistae were large-scale torsion-powered weapons used in classical antiquity through the medieval period. Mounted on towers, they became powerful tools for castle defense, projecting massive bolts or stones at advancing troops. This model draws from medieval fortress design, blending stone masonry with timber reinforcements typical of siege-era strongholds.
