COW = Card of the Week (I'll try and come up with a new one each
Sunday.)
Here it is, open for discussion:
Hellblast
Type: Gear
Rarity: Rare
Description: Gear/Magic/Spell
Notes: 5¥. Play on Runner with Sorcery. Turn to use attack value of
Hellblast in place of user's attack value. Attack value: (D6+8).
Hellblast inflicts 2 armor piercing damage on all Runners present.

When compared with the Fireball, is this big whammy worth the possible
extra 4 damage you can do to opponents, when you'll have to deal with
taking the backlash of 2 points of armor piercing damage?
OK, here's another question that came up during last nights game(s).
When does the 2 armor piercing damage come into play - before or after
the normal spell/combat damage. At first this may seem trivial, but
it's not. If the armor piercing damage comes first, as a stinger when
the spell cast is turn then this forces the damage from the spell's
Attack Value to be spread out among more of your runners if present
(as such damage cannot be overflowed). Do you see what I mean by this?
