History
"Let's see… Twist this crank, pull that lever, yank the other cord… Oh, can't I just hit them with it!"

-...

Even today the Wolf Clan have always preferred the active, outdoor life, and have little interest in devising machines to help them avoid effort; thus, they are not particularly talented engineers. However, they picked up a few tricks in the slave mines back when Cantha was colonized by the Katsuragi, and during that dark period the Wolf Clan had invented their own version of the footman's crossbow. Of course, like all things Wolf, size triumphs over delicacy. This massive, crank-loaded Ballista launches twenty-pound logs with enough force to crash through strong fortifications or impale three men at once. Even today these Ballistaman act as the clan's artillery, only this time they carry and fire a tank cannon.

Druidess had also crafted small, intricate totems from blessed saplings for these soldiers. When fired, they embed themselves in the ground, blanketing the area with a beneficial aura that strengthens their clansmen and slows their enemies. The Ballistaman must repeat a simple chant to maintain the totem's power; unfortunately, this distracts them from firing their weapon.

The Ballistaman can be defensive about their weapon of choice; other clansmen often mockingly describe it as 'an enormous toy for enormous children.' Even today they have a very specific role on the battlefield: it reloads slowly, and their wielder depends on the assistance of more agile defenders to survive. Still, no missile weapon packs a bigger punch.
