Here's a question which really puzzles me..
What's the use of having 5 points of Leadership ?
As I still miss some cards, there's maybe a combo I can't figure out.
Can someone shed light on this ?

so long,

Apone.

there is no combo i have seen...so far all i can tall is that he basicly is
not worth it
iron mike has the same thret rating, no upkeep, yea he is 1 nuyen more to
deploy, but he allready has leadreship that JACK SKATER relys on others on the
run to give him, he also has the same melee as JACK, plus one extra point of
firearms and gunnery. all in all, iron mike is just better in my eyes.

FOR EACH DIFFERENT SKILL YOUR RUNNERS HAVE
SO THE MAX WOULD BE 14

Add 1¥ to your Credstick for each .different. skill the Runners
possess. Also, Jack's Leadership only shows up on shadowruns, and the
Skills to Pay has to be played at the beginning of your Legwork.

There may be uses for Prime Runners (other than added vulnerabilities)
in future sets' given that most of the other Runners with Leadership are
rare, he may also be the only guy you have with the skill if you're a
new player.

Skater can pretty much nullify a Gut Check though. That's kinda nice.

Jack Leadership is to FASA attempt to create a character that has the same
flavor as the character in the novels, IMHO they did a great job here,
although in the books he is a good fighter, he is far supoerior leader (hence
the leadership) and this leadership ability is what has keep him alive in the
shadows, sad to say though a great thinker does not translate well into the
SRTCG game mechanics.

My two bits worth.

I first thought about it too. But on a Gut Check, you only get a +1 on your dice roll
for each runner present with Leadership, not for each point of Leadership.
So you will only get +1 with Jack Skater (if he's not alone) regardless of his Leadership
rating.

so long,

Apone.
