Hello,

All the talk about the Bounty Hunter reminded me of a
question that I ran into in a game. It is my take that a
BH can be used against any runner who does not come back
to the safe house with an objective. No matter how the pull
out came to be, volentary or forced by GAQ or WGC. My question
is against how many runners-per-turn can it be used. Against
as many as you can afford or just one. And when it says that
the cost of the service is the runners body, is that just their
body rating as printed on the card, or the amount of health that
they have left? After all that damage that they have taken
because of challenges and the like. Either way this is a rather
powerfull card and I have at least one in each of my decks.

Here's a snip from the Q&A page:
<snip>
Q1: Can you use Bounty Hunter whenever a runner leaves a run, for
whatever reason? Barney Phyffe, Green Apple, or even if they just fall into
the Nets or can't get past the Maglock?
A1: Bounty Hunter can be used whenever a Runner pulls out of a run
(for any reason) before taking the Objective.
Q2: Regarding the Bounty Hunter, does the amount of nuyen paid always equal
the Body as printed in the Runner's threat rating? Or does the amount of
nuyen paid equal "current" body (i.e. - augmented by cyberware, decreased by
damage taken, etc.)
A2: You pay the Runner's current Body value (however it's modified--damage,
dermal plating, whatever) when using Bounty Hunter.
Q3: Can you use Bounty Hunter on multiple characters pulling out at the same
time?
A3: Yes. (It would appear Jim and Skuzzy reached a final agreement on this.)

<snip>

I'll follow this up with yet another question :). Can I use the
bounty hunter multiple times against the same person, ie if he fails the
first time, can I hit the same runner again?

Hope this helps out.
