Hmmm... I've looked through the official answers we've accumulated on
the list for compiling into the SRCard Game FAQ and I can't find such
a ruling. The closest I found was for Gear/Magic/ Spells and it says
the spell is activated after a Challenge is revealed. See below:
**********
Q.Regarding the spells Bolt of Power, Fireball and Hellblast: a)Do you
activate the spell at the beginning of the shadowrun or when combat is
triggered? b)If the former, is it in effect for the entire run or does
it only effect the first combat?
A.You activate it after the Challenge has been revealed. Each spell is
only in effect for the combat it was activated for.
**********
Since the rule book thingy (pg 36) says "A Runner may hold any number
of Weapon cards but may only use one weapon per Challenge or combat,"
this means you can change weapons from one to the other. I'd think
you'd turn the weapon for use in the same time/way, in other words
after said challenge is revealed.
If you have an official response from FASA stating otherwise, please
post it and we'll get it into our Game FAQ.
BTW Andrew, is the Game FAQ about ready for official posting at the
List homepage?
