My understanding would be that both would be cumulative. Chipjacks
would just be limitted by Essence. Skillsofts would be cumulative to
get even more benefit from Hand Razors or a Katana that adds in Melee
to the damage, or to meet sleaze requirements.

I'd say Skillsofts could be traded just like the skillsoft chips in
S/R.

Close, according to Skuzzy only one of any Unique card may be present
in your deck. Prime Runners are where only one can be in play at a
time.
> 3. Fatigue takes effect after damage has been resolved, correct?
Correct. That's what make challenges that deal damage first a real
bitch to kill.

I don't believe there's a ruling on this. We've just declared it
openly, but writing it down sounds interesting.

Yes, they must make it all the way through.

I'd say to treat it a challenge reduced below zero as a bluff, it's a
milk run after all. :o)
> 7. Regarding the spells Fireball, Bolt of Power, and Hellblast: a)
Do you

When needed in combat.
> b) If the former, is it in effect for the entire run or does it

Just for the combat.
> And does it then last the rest of the turn or

Just for combat.
> 8. In the FAQ, there are 2 questions regarding the gear/magic card
Heal and

Pretty much.

allows the

That's how we've been playing it as well.
