1)Can Hatchetman 2057 be affected by Cyberpsychosis, given his text reads:
Ignore essence loss?
My answer was (and may be wrong):
Yes. The text was conveying that he could have UL cyberware (or nearly)
without dying. It was not intended as a loophole to ignore balance cards
like cyberpsychosis....
2)Does Sudden Goblinization remove skills from the card or ALL skills, even
those given by other cards (like athletics from dermal armor, or gunnery
from Gyro-Stabilization)?
My answer was (and may be wrong):
No (although YourMileageMayVary). No one argues that the cards like
Gyro-Stab or Derm Armor would give those skills to the runner if put on
him AFTER a sudden gobbo....or that it is unrealistic that sudden gobbo
would remove the gunnery skill when a character has a Gyro Mount
equipped...so in the interest of bookkeeping, the skills sudden gobbo
remove are just the ones listed on the character card.
3)Does eyekiller do it's Armor Piercing damage to passing-by runners
(without stealth-2) if the alarms has been triggered?
My answer was-
of course.
4)The astral sentry says it may only be attacked by shamans and mages. Does
that mean just the character's threat rating can be used or can they use
spells and spirits to combat it?
My answer was-
I'll ask somebody. It sure would make it tough if you could only use
their threat rating.
4.1)The astral sentry says that if no mages or shamans are present the
alarm is triggered....but what if there is a shaman and mage present and
they fight it? Is the alarm still triggered?
Awile back these had been asked but I never got an answer-
1)Do ally spirits count toward your X spirits/turn every turn or only when
you sack them (given their bonus is based on being in-play)?
2)Is the recon ability of the crawler drone a matrix action?
Ok...now for my inflammatory comments section (skip if you don't wish to
object).
I broke down and bought more SR:TCG. My name is Jeff and I'm and addict.
Unfortunately I was shorted a rare out of 1 of the starters!
I am at one with the me....I am centered in the me....This is me breathing....
My girlfriend plays a Shaman deck. She has always played a shaman deck.
When we first started playing we noticed the rules were a little imprecise
and generally proceeded to interpret them in the manner that best
entertained us. Other people began to buy and play and life was
good.<Present day>I noticed some people still play that shamans and riggers
can only replace their threat ratings with their spirits/drones during a
shadowrun. We have found this concept repellant as Shamen<sp?> and Riggers
are almost useless when playing by the rulez in this manner. I was
wondering if anyone else disregarded this restriction and allowed their use
during all combat (allowing the runner to sit out of combat until his
spirit/drone is destroyed then taking overflow)?
I do not think that block party should stay in play.
(that wasn't too bad, but I have said it before!)
