Since he has to turn to do it, I'd say it's for the one combat.

From our Game Q&A:

Q. The Challenge 'Street Scum' reads: "If runner team fails to sleaze
Street Scum, team must trash a randomnly {{determined??}} Gear card
that is present (before combat is resolved)." Does this incl ude all
Gear; ie. Cyber, Magic, Matrix, etc? Or is it only Weapons, Armor,
Miscellaneous and Drones? For simplicity's sake I can understand ALL
GEAR, but it just doesn't seem right to rip out Cyber and Magic like
that.
A. It's all Gear. It seems wierd fictionally, but it works in terms of
game mechanics.

I can't think of one off the top of my head, and I forgot to bring my
binder iwth me. However, they can also be planning for future cards
and expansions. Kind like how they have the Dodger who ignores closed
systems, but there's currently only one card that's a closed system.
Or how they designate Ghost and Macabre as Amerindians, but no card
does anything for that.

Foxy Roxy
Type: Runner
Description: Legendary Elf Flirt
Notes: 4¥. Social-4. 1/1. Foxy Roxy automatically sleazes any
personnel challenge.

Foxy Roxy's special is to auto-sleaze Personnel Challenges, not
specifically those requiring Social. It's kinda like she just
temporarily gets the skills that are required to sleaze personnel).
I'd still say Anti-Social as a keyword trait blows Roxy's special the
same as it would for a group that had the actual required skills. It's
awful hard to look sexy and seductive when the guards see the
slathering troll with the vindicator over your shoulder.

BTW, please post any responses you get from FASA.
