Which are:

>> On page 28 of the rules booklet:" A runner may use his special trait at
>any
>> time during the game"
>>
>> On page 30:" The Recon trait allows Runner to turn to view one challenge
>> card during the Legwork phase of the runner's owner's turn."
>>
>> Which should I believe??
>>

So I replay my question, which of the above statements is true? Recon is a
special trait and the statement from page 28 is about special traits. Also
I cannot use biotech in my opponents turn, right? So, why doesn't the
statement on page 28 apply to biotech also? So if biotech can be used only
on my Legwork phase, what help does it give to me on the run???


>This one is a LOT easier. Read the card - it states that you can only make
>a second run after a SUCCESSFUL run!

No it does not, the text is below:

Text
(A+1) to any unturned Runners in your Safehouse. Trash to allow a Runner
team that just finished a Shadowrun to go on another run immediately.

So this text does not speak anything about SUCCESSFUL run, just finished
run. So is a run finished if it is not successful?

>> And another one:
>>
>> Can I use Bulldog Van to make another run, if I did not get the first
>> objective?

More annoying questions:

Is it true that Media Chick cannot make your reputation more negative than
it is? So if I have -10 REP and ask media chick to tell amazing stories of
my team, if I successfully finnish a shadowrun and when I don't my
reputation stays at -10. I think it is so and the rules booklet thinks too
(in page 61). This makes media chick a good help!
