This question may have already been answered. I was wondering....

Is the text "Add melee to attack value." cumulative. If a runner is equipped
with (1 or 2) Hand Razors and a Katana, does the runner add the melee skill
value to attack value for each item? If so, Stilletto is earning a name....

Just wondering....If a runner (let's say Stilletto) is equipped with 2 Hand
Razors and a Katana, would the "Add melee to attack value." be cumulative
since Hand Razors does not have the "weapon" type in text?

yes. you add the "melee to attcak value" to all cards given to a character.
FASA said that they were going to change the text of hand razors to "adds +x
wheere x = characters melee skill plus 1". so a character could get real
nasty with 2 hand razors and a katana. AND Stilletto? imagine that combo on
a stomper or god forbid mighty lord torgo...drool! how do you say pain?

Normally you can only use one weapon at a time. Handrazors are a
special case; you can use two simultaneously, but not two Handrazors and
a third weapon (think Ambidextrous. Then get real. :) )
Stiletto would get Melee bonuses from both Handrazors, though that's
more erratta than directly off the card text.

Actually, looking at my cards, Hand Razors has the keywords: Gear
(Cyberware/Weapon).
