Hi All,
Just a few quick questions about the Monolith:

1. Can the Gauss Flux Arc be fired even if the monolith is shaken or stunned?

2. Can the Monolith dodge ramming tanks like a normal skimmer despite being 'ponderous'?

3. Can the Monolith 'Tank shock'?

4. Does the 'Power Matrix' rules allow the Particle Whip to be fired after the Gauss Flux Arc, despite being Ordnance?

Thanks in advance.

1) No, it is not given permission to

2) Yes

3) Yes, if it is a tank

4) No, as all shooting is simultaneous.

Agree with the above.

In addition, the Flux Arc/Power matrix question is in the FAQ. PM is Ordnance and the Monoltih does not have a special rule that allows it to fire weapons in addition to Ordnance.

Just remember though that you CAN still fire the gauss flux after teleporting people through the lith. Very important to remember that.

Nos is correct though, and yes Nos it is a tank.

I assumed it was, but couldnt be bothered to wakl 15 feet to find out

Besides teachineg people how to solve rules questions tehmselves is a better long term solution - you know it is a Tank, so can tank shock unless permission is removed from it.

Nos, just out of curiosity, but what does firing simultaneously have to do with whether or not the the monolith can fire both of those weapons? I know the rules specifically state that if firing ordnance weapons, (pg. 58) no other weapons can be fired and AFAIK regardless of the order of weapons fired.

Because the person was asking if you can fire the ordnance "second" - i.e. the "cannot fire other weapons" weapon "last", so the restriction wouldnt kick iun until that point.

However as all firing is simultaneous that doesnt work as an argument, leaving you with the "cannot fire other weapons with Ordnance" rule/.

I got you Nos. Thanks for clearing that up Thanks, I was just a little confused... lol..

No worries - I try to make sure i answer the question asked, as people get some interesting ideas about rules!
