<<So, just to make sure we are doing this right -
1. Who can use Gear/Magic/Spirits -
Answer: Anyone with the Conjure skill.
2. Also, is Street Shaman and Shaman completely interchangable (for cards
like the Toxic Spirit Challenge of the Haunted Highrise objective)?
Answer: Yes.
3. Is Mage and Street Mage completely interchangeable with shaman (for
cards like the Toxic Spirit Challenge of the Haunted Highrise objective)?
Answer: No. Why would you think this?

<<I have Roadrash (4/4), a Rigger with a Pilot of two. He has three Hunter
Drones on him. Lets start the questions.
1. Roadrash goes on a run with 5 other runners. Can I still activate a
drone?
Answer: Yes. Drones are only treated as Runners for purposes of combat.
They
aren't literally treated as Runners.
2. Roadrash goes on a run by himself. If I activate both drones at the
first challenge, do the drones stay activated throughout the whole run?
Answer: Yes.
3. I am Roadrash, and have activated two drones. In the course of the run,
one of the drones has been destroyed. Can I activate the third drone, since
I
am now only using one?
Answer: No.
4. Can I frag my drone in response to a booby-trap challenge, if the drone
is already activated?
Answer: No. As above, they aren't literally treated as Runners.
<<Thanks for your help. Awnsering these questions will go a long way to
understanding how riggers (and indirectly Spirits) work. Cheers,

You're welcome. Aren't Rigger decks cool? They're my favorites...

Alright, here is a couple questions about Deckers.
1. A decker counts for being on a run (agaist the maximum of 6 runners),
but is not present and may not be targeted by challenges, correct?
Answer: Correct.
2. If a decker is assisting a run in the about way, is his group hampered
by his "anti-social" skill (if of course the runner in question has said
skill)? Is he present on the run (the key words in the description of the
anti-social skill)?
Answer: The Decker is not present on the shadowrun if he is in the
safehouse.
3. Slight timing question. According to the rulebook, if two people want to
play cards at the same time, the person whose turn it is goes first. My
friend has a decker, which I believe states "Turn to steal 1 nuyen from
your opponent, yadda yadda yadda". Anyways, during my friends turn, he
decides to go on a run (without this runner), and I have just enough nuyen
to play Green Apple Quickstep, and I declare to play it. He then responds
by turning his decker, and saying "Alright, I will take one of your nuyen,
you can no longer play the card, and it is discards". Is this really what
happens? We are REALLY confused on this one. Can you respond or back up an
action? Can cards "fizzle" if you no longer can pay the cost?
Answer: When you payed to deploy Green Apple Quicksteps, it beacme too
late
for the Decker's Sticky Fingers program to "counter" it. The Decker can't
take Y you've already spent!
Well, thanks for your time!!!!
