Subject: Armor Question regarding Skwaaaaark!
Date: Tue, 12 May 1998 11:02:48 -0700
Hello, All.

I'm sure this question's been answered a few times, or maybe it's up on the
Official Unofficial FAQ (which I cannot seem to find my link to, for some
twisted reason...)

ANYWAY...

<Card Snip>
Skwaaaark
Type: Runner
Rarity: Rare
Description: Troll Cyborg
Notes: 10¥. Melee-3. 8/8 (A2). Stamina, Anti-social. May only use
Gear/Cyberware
cards. All Gear cards given to Skwaaaaaark! are free.Illustrator: Mike=
Nielsen
<Card Snip>



Does this mean that Skwaaaaark cannot use Heavy Armor (Full or Partial)?
It would appear that's exactly what the card's saying, but I have to ask....

Thanx in advance,

Jon

Hi Jon !
In my opinion Skwaaark is not able to wear the heavy armor, because as you
quoted he is only able to use gear/cyberware cards and heavy armor is a
gear/armor card. There is no match. I would try to use 'Dermal Plating'. This
is a gear/cyberware card and the user recives 0/+2 (A+1) (-3 Essence).

Hope this helped
Peicky
And never forget: Maybe I'm right or wrong.

Hi, Peicky.

I tend to agree with you. For everyone's benefit, let me explain also why
I asked.

In the group that I play in, one guy tends to play a big bruiser deck
(Skwaaark, a couple of Knuckles, Grizzly, etc., etc.) and has played Heavy
Armor Full with Dermal (I think) on Skwaaaark, effectively making him one
tough SOB to kill (it IS possible, but then it seems that everyone is
gunning for him....which isn't that bad of a thing, because he still
manages to win a few games....)

I just wanted to see if the general consensus was the same as ours, that
Skwaaaaark is just too mean with an AC of 5.

ALSO, in the future, I've been trying to put together a Merc deck that I
want to post to get some advice from everyone here. It's the first deck
I've really tried to assemble, and it's really expensive to get going. I
have a few changes I want to make before posting it, but just a heads up,
when I do, I will really look forward to everyone's input, as I've seen
some really good comments here.

Thanks in advance,

Jon

Yup your right. Skra<snip>ark! cannot have anything but cyberware on
him.....

Actually if you can find a game legal way to get him A(5) I really wouldn't
oppose (I'd be whining a lot though...)

Yes, that's exactly what it means. You could put a chipjack on him, but he
couldn't use skillsofts since they are not gear/cyberware cards.

Isn't he big enough already?

I would say that because Skwarrks text says " May only use
>Gear/Cyberware".
That only cyberware cards may be used.
