Subject: A card text Question
Date: Mon, 18 May 1998 14:37:18 -0700
I've been told that this has been answered already, but after reading
Skwaaaaaark!'s card text, I could see where there could be a lot of debate
in a game.

The part I'm referring to is:

"May only use Gear/Cyberware cards. All Gear cards given to Skwaaaaaark!
are free."

Okay, Skwaaaaaark! only can use Cyberware. But can you GIVE him ANY gear
cards? He may not be able to use an FN-MAG 5, but can he hold one and turn
to give to another runner at a later time? The card's first part says that
he can only use Gear/Cyberware, but makes no Gear distinction in the second
part. Is that just assumed?

I would hope not, unless I'm playing a Skwaaaaaark! deck ;-)

Any thoughts on this one?

Thanks,

Jon

Skwrk can only hold and use Cyberware. Not worded the best; should be
clarified in 2nd Run.

It is an easy thin to both fix and explain. Everybody always forgets it, and
it should be emphesized in the rulebook: a runner may not hold gear they
cannot use. Simple, to the point, no clarification nescecarry, just some
better emphesis
