Handcuffs are used at the beginning of R-on-R combat; GAQS, Stand Aside!
and others are used before things get that far. Basically, if combat's
started, the run's been intercepted.

Runners return to the safehouse at the end of their shadowrun phase. (A
long, convoluted reason why, but trust me on this one.)

I usually reserve it for whenever the .. um .. target card has the
wording "target (foo)" on it. So Archie McDeven (turn an _unturned_
Runner) doesn't target anyone, where Stiletto ("give _target_ Runner")
does. NERPS targets the Gear being copied, so you could change it into
another legal target (basically, anything that's Gear). Even if the
Runner who ends up owning it can't end up using it.

That's the short of it. I haven't played with the card that much.

The experience token doesn't require that the Runner stays a Ganger --
if there were a card that stripped a Runner's profession (...turns them
into a Corporate mundane?...) the token would still stay on. Similarly,
Switchblades would stay on, but the Runner would no longer be affected
by Gang HQs.
