If the gear card does not list a required skill, the gear may be used
by a runner without one. Also, some gear like the katana do not
require one, but offer a bonus to those who possess a related skill.

The first challenge will affect subsequent challenges, so in this case
Gut Check cannot be sleazed. This does pose a problem as it would seem
that with Motion Detectors in place, the player cannot sleaze past Gut
Check to ever achieve the objective. Interesting...

Once the alarm is triggered on a shadowrun, subsequent challenges may
not be sleazed. This means that sacrificing a runner to the ghouls is
not going to work for you this turn.

Yes.

There's nothing on the card that says otherwise, so I guess you can.
However, you'll have to roll for each token used which means more
chances of fragging that runner.

Club Vortex says the tokens may be used at any time.
