A cannon may be manned by up to three crew, provided there is room for the crew to move freely around the weapon. Each crew member may use their action to work through the three actions needed to fire the cannon each round as a team. If the weapon crew is less than three, it won't be able to fire every combat round.
Crewed Weapon. A cannon takes one action to load, one action to aim, and a third action to fire.

Description
A cannon uses gunpowder to propel heavy balls of cast iron through the air at destructive speeds. In a campaign without gunpowder, a cannon might be an arcane device built by clever gnomes or wizardly engineers.
