It's simple... Drones specificly say play on a Rigger. Having piloting
doesn;t make them a rigger. Rigger's say that they are riggers, not
gangers...

I say you still check. After all, the armor would still be damaged, even
if it isn;t helping...

I would say no.

I think total rating, which I REALLY disagree with... Flechettes are WAY
overpowered...

Right. There's no way to beat something that takes no damage, unless you
have a way to frag or trash the challenge without actually fighting it...
Like maybe the rampaging mutant...

>6) What happens if a Shaman/(mage) is Whoops!'d, removing their conjure

Spirit can't be used, and is probably trashed. Not sure off hand...

>7) Which rocker rocks more...Glitz or THRASH?
>
Thrash... Glitz is too busy socializing and Thrash is actually from a book
or module (not sure).
