An armored cart crafted by a magic-user (Artificer, Forge Cleric, or Wizard of the Invention School). An intermediate point between a carriage and a tank. It is completely enclosed and covered with metal siding. Generally pulled by an armored horse or Centaur. It raises the AC of any creature inside the cart to a minimum of 15. It has murderholes that allow for firing of spells and weapons from inside.
Thanks to the magic infused in the cart, it isn't much more heavy than a normal cart of its size and can be pulled by one Large animal (or a Centaur, which acts as a Large animal for pulling purposes). Its size is Large. The base cost is 6000gp. It can have weapons mounted, such as the Ballista or Fire Ballista (see the homebrew "spell" Mounted Ballista Attack and the homebrew magic item Mounted Fire Ballista.)
One of the above-mentioned magic-user classes/subclasses can enhance the cart for a higher AC given one week of crafting time and cost of materials (varying depending on what material is used). They can also mount weapons on the cart if they own or can craft them, for one week of crafting time for each weapon mounted (not including time to make the item).
Notes: Set: Minimum Base Armor
