Subject: [SR] Have questions Need "Loki"!
Date: Wed, 3 Sep 1997 23:03:54 -0400
Hi all,
I just wanted to say that being on this List and lurking about while
Loki and club clear up issues has been a wonderful help. Yet, I have
another handful of newbie questions that require Loki or other Top
Guy/gal's rulings on. [Apologies in advance if some questions seem basic
or have already been covered]

1) Gear Weapon cards: In order to use your general gear/weapon card, do
you require a skill in firearms, melee or gunnery <if appropriate>? For
example, can "Knuckles", <troll bodyguard with no firearms/gunnery>
carry and use a HK 227 gear/weapon card? Nowhere on the card does it
state that a skill in anything is required.
Now I have seen it required for example on the Vindcator or the FN Har
Assault rifle.... but what about those misc. gear/weapon cards be they
melee or ranged attacks, do you need a skill to weild them even if the
card itself does not say you do?

2) Card Precedence: Now this applies to a much bigger picture but take
this example for reasons of simplicity. A stack of challenges has just
been revealed, the top challenge is "Motion Detectors" <no other
challenges can be sleazed>, okay that is easy to understand and you go
on to the next challenge, which turns out to be "Gut Check"<1-3 the
challenge is sleazed>.
How does one proceed in this situation? Which card takes precedence?
The same goes for something like this: The first challenge was not
sleazed so the alarm is triggered, the next challenge is "Fleshing
Eating Ghouls"<frag/trash a runner to sleaze the ghouls>...
What is the outcome? Which card takes precedence? And so on...

3) Club Vortex and Drug Counters: Can your runners receive multiple
counters if they continue to visit the Vortex? Ifso, can your runners
with mulitple counters declare that they are going to attempt to use
more then one counter in a single turn? At what point during an action,
<interception/shadowrun> must the runner declare that they are going to
use their drug counter<s>?

I have a couple of other questions but I will wait til you get a chance
to look these over. :-)
