Here is a rule question that came up in a recent game we had.
For the sake of arguement, a run was attempted at one of the 3 following
objectives.
1. Cermack Blast
2. Urban Brawl
3. Cleanse The Hive
A running team went to the hive, which reads the following.
Cleanse the Hive (objective) 40 Pts.
Roll d6 for each challenge and Face the result instead of the challenge.
Treat all spirits as awakened. 1-2, Beetle Spirit 8/8 A1, 3-4, Cicada Spirit
9/9 A2, 5-6 10/10 A2. Requirements: Fight Queen Ant Spirit 11/11 A3
Now, if the 1st challenge faced was say a booby trap, and the running team
posessed a demolitions skill, which is the slease requirement for booby trap.
Now, would the runnig team get to slease the booby trap, and not have to fight
a spirit for that challenge???
Question in general, do you get a chance to slease a challenge on one of the 3
above objectives??? (using the slease requirements on the challenge itself)
A few of my friends said no, because you dont face the booby trap, and must
fight the spirit which can only be sleased by say an invisibility or runner
special ability. Now i disagree on this. Here is my points why...
In the SRCCG rule book, on page 56 says the following..."The shadowrunning
player must slease or face each challenge his opponents have placed on the
target objective". And, on pages 57-58 it says the following..."The owner of
the challenge reveals the challenge, and reads the slease requiremenst (if
any). If a runner or combination of runners meets the slease requirements,
the challenge is sleased-the running team sneeks by that challenge without
triggering the alarm. If a team of runners fails to slease a challenge, they
trigger the alarm and must face the challenge card."
Now, that states that first you try and slease the challenge, if not you face
the challenge. Now, on the cleanse the hive, it says "Roll d6 for each
challenge and Face the result instead of the challenge". On the urban brawl
it says the same thing, and the cermack blast the same too. So first A
happens, (A= reveal the challenge), then B (B= attempt to slease the
challenge), then C (Cúce the challenge). So the roll for the above
ovjectives would happen during C of the shadowrun phase, correct???
This is just my idea and how i see the cards working, well from reading the
rule book and the cards, thats how i see it. Please let me know if you know
the official ruling, or even if you dont, please let me hear your opinions.
Thanks For Reading,
