Sorry about the Delay in my response to this message =)

In a message dated 98-07-10 10:53:45 EDT, you write:

<< IMHO the Runner using the Drone or Spirit isn´t even near the attacker,
but controls his D/S remotely. So the attacker doesn´t have the option
to attack him. This is just my interpretation, the way we handle
these situations, but I believe I´m correct. ---Felix >>

I know this is Runner on Runner, but from the booklet....

'....when a Rigger uses Drones on a Shadowrun he may not add his Attack Value
to the team's Attack Value during combat. The Rigger, however, is still
vulnerable to attack from Challenges and Special Cards.'

The damage from Challenges is what makes me believe a Runner could get 'em.
Otherwise, it would make no sense how a Feeding Ghoul would have the option of
hitting Mr. Rigger. The Drones wouldn't look tastey, I'd assume.

Just my opinion.
