Subject: Stun Gloves - Another Question to Fasa
Date: Thu, 2 Oct 1997 00:49:35 -0700
Hmm, there seems to be a lot of discussion about what "seems fair" and such
as. I am pretty sure the stun gloves AREN'T turned (no other weapon is). As
to them setting the alarm, lets look at the timing stuff FASA gave us.

Challenge Revealed
(Phase before sleaze is determined) BAM! Wack um with the gloves.

In this case the alarm would never have been triggered and you could
merrily saunter about your buisness. The only reason I see for this NOT
working, would be that the gloves could only be used in combat (kinda dumb
them, because the big melee guys could just crush the challenge anyways,
but that could be what FASA intended). Then, since you are already
fighting, the alarm would be sounded.

What do you say, Loki? Think this one needs a ruling from FASA?

This is how I thought they were intended, but it tends to get out of
hand fast. My melee monster gang type deck really gets out of hand,
the only real problem it has is when it goes up against the
R-cubed deck that uses Renraku, Robo-Plant Revolt, and all electrical
challanges.

Then again stun gloves are a weapon so does that prevent them from using
your attack value in the combat? WHat if I have a Lord Torgo with
ambidextrous, Stun Gloves and a Katana? Does he try to trash the
challenge and use a attack of 14?

I think it is deffinately worth a question to Fasa. In fact I sent
all of the questions I asked to Fasa, but have not heard an answer
on any of my mails since the week after Gen-Con.

Hey! That's my deck!

Every weapon active on Torgo should apply, so he'd be that freakin'
nasty, yeah.
