Drive. While the infernal war machine's engine is


on, the driver can use an action to propel the vehicle up


to its speed or bring the vehicle to a dead stop. While


the ve hicle is moving, the driver can steer it along


any course.
If the driver is incapacitated, leaves the helm, or does

nothing to alter the infernal war machine's course and


speed, the vehicle moves in the same direction and at


the same speed as it did during the driver's last turn


until it hits an obstacle big enough to stop it.


Bonus A ctions. As a bonus action, the driver can do


one of the following:

• Start the infernal war machine's engine or shut it off.


Cause the infernal war machine to take the Dash


or Disengage action while the vehicle's engine
is running.

• Insert a soul coin or pour a flask of demon ichor into


the engine's furnace (see "Soul Fuel'" and "Demon
Ichor Boost" below).

WEAPON S TATIONS


Each of an infernal war machine's weapons takes up a


station on the vehicle.


One weapon can be replaced with another (see "Alter·


native Weapon Stations," page 221), provided the crew


requirement needed to operate the replacement weapon
is the same.

SOUL FUEL


The engine at the heart of every infernal war machine


has a furnace fueled by soul coins (see page 225).


Among the vehicle's helm controls is a narrow slot into


which soul coins can be fed. Soul coins placed in this


s lot tumble into the furnace, which is two size catego-
ries smaller than the vehicle containing it.

An infernal war machine's furnace consumes a


soul coin instantly, expending all the coin's remaining


charges at once and destroying the coin in the process.


The soul trapped in the coin becomes trapped in the


furnace instead, powering th e infernal war machine for


a duration determined by how many charges the soul


coin had when it was consumed: 1 charge, 24 hours;


2 charges, 48 hours; 3 charges,^72 hours. If it's still
trapped in the furnace when this duration ends, the soul

is destroyed. Not even divine intervention can restore a


soul destroyed in this manner.


Regardless of its size, a furnace can hold any number


of souls, their screams of anguish audible out to a range


of 60 feet. Each new soul fed to the furnace adds more


fuel to the vehicle, allowing it to run longer.

DEMON! CHOR BOOST


Pouring a flask of demon ichor into an infernal war


machine's furnace increases the vehicle's speed by^30


feet for 1 minute. While the vehicle's speed is increased


in this way, roll a d20 at the start of each of the driver's


turns. On a 1. the vehicle suffers the Furnace Rupture


result on the Mishaps table (page 220).
