| Subject: | Do you have any house card rules? |
| Date: | Thu, 11 Sep 1997 03:53:26 CDT |
since they have been playing the game. I have found that the best way
to notice certain quirks in cards is to simply play a bunch. Here
are a list of card rulings I have made (a couple like the Halloweener Hell
info) I got from FASA's web page.
Tell me what you think of my group's rulings:
Runners
General
Fame
You do not gain the bonus newyen if you draw up to 7 cards.
Recon
If a Runner has a Recon of more than one, she needs to be tapped even
if she only uses the ability once.
(Note that this is not a problem yet, since there are no runners with
a Recon of 2 - however I thought it was worth noting since it is
implied in the rule book).
Dodger
Each time a player wants to play a Special card on Dodger you need to
roll a dice, not only the first time it is played. If you roll a 1-3
and there are no other viable target runners, you must discard the
Special card (but can get back the newyen you payed for it).
Fastjack
Fastjack's owner may only change the order of all the challenge stacks
(and chooses which stack to go through first instead of the objectives
owner), however, he cannot hop from one challenge stack to another.
Red Widow
She cannot use the Sniper Roost and then join the Shadowrun while at the
same shadowrun. She's not quite that fast....
She can, however, join before the next challenge is revealed.
Also, she cannot join a Shadowrun that has 6 active runners in it. If
one of the runners is killed she can join the fray, but only after the
Challenge that killed the runner is defeated.
Redline
No Redline cannot control drones.
Roadrash
No the Automated Partol Vehicle does not count as a vehicle, nor do any
other drones.
Stiletto
He can give a Runner on a Shadowrun Stealth even if he is not on the run
himself. Basically, he makes a diversion that temperorarily distracts
the challenge from afar....
Wheeler
No the Automated Partol Vehicle does not count as a vehicle, nor do any
other drones.
Gear
Ranged Weapons
Ceska VZ/120
The Ceska cannot be sold in the same turn it has been fired, nor as an
instant before it is discarded.
Ranger Arms
The RA can be used by a runner on a shadowrun, and simply adding the
+6 to his attack value. However, this bonus can only be applied
against one challenge.
Vehicles
Harley Scorpion
May not be used against indoor challenges.
PRCDB Yellowjacket
May not be used against indoor challenges.
Yamaha Rapier
May not be used against indoor challenges.
Armor
Armored Vest/Lined Coat
You need to roll to see if each piece of armor is destroyed seperately.
Heavy Armor (Full)
Heavy Armor can only absorb X+2 points of damage when it is trashed. X
being the wearer's body.
Melee Weapons
Stun Gloves
A 6 allways fails. Sorry but the Lord Torgo with a Chipjack 3 and a few
Skillsoft:Melees isn't able to sleaze every Awakened or Personel
Challenges. He's good, but even a Guardian Dracoform has a chance
against him. :)
Miscellaneous
Doc Wagon (Platinum)
The runner is tapped when he is returned to the safehouse.
Cyberware
Hand Razors
The bonuses given from the Hand Razors, can not be used in conjunction
with any other weapons (except themselves). If two sets of hand razors
are implanted then the bonus is +2/+0 and their melee weapon skill is
doubled and added to the Attack Value.
Spirit
Ally Spirit
Runners with Conjure of 2 may also control another Spirit (even a second
Ally Spirit).
If you trash the ally spirit it only absorbs the damage that would have
been dealt to the Shaman controlling the Ally Spirit.
Matrix
Steamroller
As soon as Steamroller fails to trash an Electrical Challenge, it
cannot continue to trash Challenges.
Locations
Shadowland
Deckers without the Hermit Trait may also visit this location.
Sniper Roost
Only 6 runners can work on a Shadowrun at a time. This maximum also
applies to those runners using the Sniper Roost.
The Iron Lung
Runners do not need to be turned to visit The Iron Lung, but each runner
can only visit it once per turn. Keep in mind that you need to discard
down to 7 cards by the end of your turn as well.
Contacts
Fringe Surgeon
You must pay at least 1 newyen for Cyberware that is implanted by the
Fringe Surgeon.
The damage dealt to the runner is armor peircing.
Specials
Moonlighting
The runner needs to have 2 or more differant skills.
Challenges
Chomps-2000 Guard Dog
Each Guard Dog is immune to damage the first time it is triggered. Not
just the first one that is revealed in the game. (ie if a second
Chomps is revealed imediately after the first is killed, the shadowrun
is emmediately over).
Double Jeopardy!
If a Shadowrunning team pulls out of a run, before Double Jeopardy! is
revealed, and encounters it first, the next time the run is attempted it
is treated as a bluff.
If it is encountered and defeats the running team, from that point on it
is treated as if it was the duplicated Challenge.
Electrified Fence
The owner of the Challenge decides who is fried by the fence.
Halloweener Hell
Halloweener Hell's Threat Rating should be 6/4.
Hit And Run
Hit and Run should state that it is trashed after revealed.
Sabataged Controls
Sabataged Controls should state that it is trashed after revealed.
Security Consultant
If the card revealed is a bluff or a challenge the Shadowrun can
continue through the original Challenge Stack. If there are no cards
at all, then the Shadowrunning team cannot complete the Objective.
Security Decker
If Security Decker is revealed on a recon it is trashed.
Sim Sensation
Sim Sensation should state that it is trashed after revealed.
Objectives
General
Requirements cannot be sleazed unless it is specifically mentioned.
If you need to roll stats for the Requirement of a Objective, you should
roll it each time a Shadowrun is attempted.
Assassination
The points of Firearms is refering to the skill Firearms and not the
cost of ranged weapons.
