Subject:	FASA's rulings on some recent discussions.....

I wasn't really surprised about the recon, but I think that the Abducted
card's rulings make it pretty useless at 3Y. There are some much cooler
cards. Anyways, here they are....

I understand why these have been such a big issue. The following is my
advice
on how I'd handle them...

1) Can a decker use recon on a closed system (such as impossible mission)?

No. When a decker uses recon it should be considered a matrix action.

2) Can a Crawler drone with recon use it on a closed system (such as
impossible mission)? Yes. Because in this case there's no decker involved.
It's assumed that the recon represents scouting around "in the real world"
and actually getting a looksie.

I hope these answers are helpful guys. Ciao!

<<1) Since Abducted makes the character considered "fragged", does
he lose all his equipment like a normalled fragged character?

No. Think of it as if it said,"treat runner as if he were 'out of play'
until..."

2) Does this include cyberware (do the aliens rip his bits out, and
restore his flesh?) ?>>

No, Unfortunately not. (I think your interpretation is much cooler!) =)
