When running three fire prisms can you forgo shooting the prism cannon on two of the three to make the firer a ST11 AP1 or is it capped at ST10 AP 1.

**Shrike325**

A stat cannot go above 10

**ChrisCP**

Attacks can, albeit temporarily.

**dralend**

Its for 1 turn

Fire Prisms say that you may forgo firing to aid a firer (firing fire prism) by +1 St -1 AP so adding a single aiding fire prism would allow a ST 10 AP 1 Focused, or ST 6 AP 3 dispersed.

My question is I have 3 Fire Prisms as Heavy Support. When I forgo firing two of the Prisms to boost another can a Focused Blast become a ST 11 AP 1 (AP 1 being the lowest you can get).

the strength of the prism cannon cannot exceed 10 no matter how many prisms you link together...page 6 in the brb is the "maximum 10" rule which states that only vehicles can have characteristics above 10

**dralend**

Dude prisms are vehicles

**lliadon**

read the rule...it states that the strength attribute is part of that rule and thats what is taken into consideration. thus the armor of a vehicle which isnt in the list of attributes isnt affected by the max 10 rule but the strength of the shot is

addition: ah thanks chromedog i figured it was there but didnt have my codex on hand

**chromedog**

It's also mentioned in the fire prism combined fire rules.

S is capped at 10.

P43 Eldar codex.
