Letīs discuss this a little. Converge players argue that since the
damage is distributed before itīs dealt to the specific Runner, Skwrark
would get 8 of his own (two Hand Razors) points of damage. Otherwise,
heīd only get 1 or 2 points, since Thrash can only take 3. Of course,
you add 3 points from Thrash. Which one of these solutions would
definitely be correct? ---Felix
