SQ long-distance communication, signal jam
SPECIAL ABILITIES
Long-distance Communication (Ex)
Monitors automatically report back their findings continuously to allied forces via a built-in communication device similar to a personal comm unit. Just like the comm unit it has planetary range.
Signal Jam (Su)
Three times per day, as a free action, monitors can send out a jamming signal that prevents all technological and magical long-distance communication (defined as anything that is not line of sight or directly involves hearing, such as planetary comms, telepathic message and so on) within a radius of 60 feet, A DC 13 Will save negates this effect for magical communication and a Computers check DC 13 negates this for technological devices. This effect lasts for 1 minute. This save DC is Wisdom-based.
ABOUT
Environment any non-aquatic
Organization solitary or flight (2-5)
Monitors were created as semi-independent guard units, usually used in secure installation and prisons. The monitors are normally instilled with the same power given to the rest of the guard staff in the facility so that they can make appropriate judgment calls on whether to put the rest of the facility on alert or not. Just like a normal guard they may, therefore, be fooled, though their built-in analysis modules and detection devices make it difficult to fool these units. Skilled con-artists have reported that convoluted logic and unanswerable questions can cause the units to disregard their normal orders and ignore both breakouts and intruders. The manufacturers of the monitors have of course denied all such claims, and the model continues to enjoy good sales.
