<ul><li> You cannot choose to roll Energy Pulse (to fish for a critical, or avoid hitting your own high-DEF models). Normally you can do that with auto-hitting attacks, but Energy Pulse is an exception. </li></ul><br />
<dl><dd> <div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" id="mw-customcollapsible-EPRC">The reason for this is ... <span style="vertical-align: super; font-size: smaller;">[<span class="mw-customtoggle-EPRC" style="color: #0645ad">Show/Hide</span>]</span><div class="mw-collapsible-content"><br />
<dl><dd> there is no attack roll for Energy Pulse. It says "each model <u>is</u> automatically hit" </dd><br />
<dd> Compare to <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Sustained_Attack" title="Sustained Attack">Sustained Attack</a>: <i>"<u>the attack</u> automatically hits"</i></dd><br />
<dd> or <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Guided" title="Guided">Guided</a>: <i>"<u>Attacks made with this weapon</u> automatically hit"</i>.</dd><br />
<dd> Those other abilities imply an attack roll with a weapon. Energy Pulse does not.</dd></dl></div></div></dd></dl><br />
<ul><li> Energy Pulse does not target, so:<br />
<ul><li> Stealth doesn't stop it. Stealth's auto-miss only kicks in when someone <i>targets</i> the stealth model from more than 5" away. (<b><a class="external text" href="http://privateerpressforums.com/showthread.php?268866-Thunderhead-errata&amp;p=3813827&amp;viewfull=1#post3813827" rel="nofollow">Infernal Ruling</a></b>)</li><br />
<li> Abilities that "prevent a model being targeted by ranged attacks" (such as <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Submerge" title="Submerge">Submerge</a> or <a href="/index.php?title=Category:Hymn_of_Passage" title="Category:Hymn of Passage">Passage</a>) don't stop it.</li></ul></li></ul><br />
<ul><li> Auto-hits are considered direct hits (refer Attack Roll in the core rulebook), so:<br />
<ul><li> Energy Pulse can be <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Shield_Guard" title="Shield Guard">Shield Guarded</a> etc. (<b><a class="external text" href="https://privateerpressforums.com/showthread.php?276014-Shield-guard-thunderhead-pulse" rel="nofollow">Locked thread</a></b>)</li><br />
<li> Energy Pulse stacks with the <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Explosivo" title="Explosivo">Explosivo</a> spell.</li></ul></li></ul><br />
<ul><li> For the purposes of <a href="/index.php?title=Thunderhead" title="Thunderhead">Thunderhead</a> using Reload plus Sustained Attack after a Pulse:<br />
<ul><li> <i>All</i> models hit by an Energy Pulse are considered to be the "last model hit by that weapon". So for your first bought attack, you can auto-hit any of them. </li></ul><br />
<dl><dd> Once you shoot a model with a bought attack, though, <i>that</i> model becomes the new "last one". So if you buy a <i>second</i> attack, there is only one model you can auto-hit. </dd></dl><br />
<ul><li> Although the Pulse doesn't target and it can hit Stealth models, your bought attacks <i>do</i> target and <i>will</i> auto-miss Stealth models (despite having Sustained Attack). Refer to the "auto-miss vs auto-hit" rule in the core rules.</li></ul></li></ul><br />
