1. On the Lone Star Riot Police, it says if there are 4+ runners then the
alarm is triggered, but if there are fewer, does the shadowrunning team still
have to face the LSRP? My friend and I decided yes. Anyone?

2. When a character is assaulted using Wanted, can assorted gear be used(
Bolt of Power, Fire Ball, Drones, etc.)

3. When exactly is the alarm triggered? (A basic question, but one that still
confuses me at times)

That's all for now. Thanks.

If they have set the alarm offf allready then yes.

After all attempts to sleaze it have failed.

As long as they're unturned, I don't see why not.

My question, however, is if I've played Wanted on Nightshade and she's
turned when I send Canonball over to thump her, can she use her
unturned Fireball in the combat. (This is providing she hasn't used
any other spells previously this turn?)

Normally, it's said a turned runner cannot use gear (deckers using
programs, mages using spells). I want to know if runner on runner
combat in the case of attacking a turned and wanted runner is
different in this case.

IMO she could use her Gear(Whatever). She must unturn to face combat,
and Wanted allows this. ---Felix

Nightshade is turned, but the Wanted involves her into a fight.
She will makes some damage, so why couldn't she use the Fireball which
stands for her threat rating for a fight ?
So, IMHO it's a special case brought by the Wanted and she can use the spell.

so long,

Apone.

Just like Eyekiller, consider having under four runners to be the sleaze
requirement.

I'd say yes because if they can't use their spells/drones, why any runner
may use any firearms or HTH weapons ?? The rules are simple: 1 spell per
turn per sorcery, 1 drone per turn per piloting, 1 firearm/HTH weapon
(unless ambidexterity is in play) per runner per combat. All attacking
gears can always be used during any combat, unless some limitations
prohibit you from using it (number of spells per turn, etc.).
