combat damage (at which point a shaman can use a spirit to replace his own
attack/body). Most people will probably disagree with me on this but I
would like to hear it.<<<

I'm taking the fifth on that.

Chllenges that assign damage to runners is simple and clear.
However Hellhound and Killer drone etc. say all their combat damage must be
given to 1 runner. I am suggesting that the damage goes to one runner but
doesn't neccessarily mean to the runner's body (shouldn't you be able to
use a spirit/drone?). The cards clearly mean that the damage from them
(hellhound/killerdrone/basilisk) all go to one place, can't that place be a
spirit/drone?
