: Its only doing a random amount of damage the first time. Then you
reapply
:the damage. RE-apply meaning apply the amount already applied. If it were
two
:seperate effects you might roll twice but it is one effect. You are not
:attacking a second time so no further rolls are necessary.

Does it say "aply dmage again"- what is the exact tesxt? I don't have
that card.

: You ask each time you inflict damage your required to state what you
are
:useing. Do you think they are two seperate attacks. So the first one you
can
:use a gun and the next a katana. Or a bolt of power once and a fireball
the
:next time?

Yes, they quite reasonably should be seperate attacks, if the SR game
is any guide. I'd say using some different weapons is OK, and could be a
useful option.

:The card says apply the damage a second time. The damage meaning
:the damage used previously. Meaning the same damge already applied.
Nothing
:new everything has already been determined. Since its already been done
no new
:rolls are required no new anouncements are made. Do whats already been
done
:again.

Well, if that is the meaning of the wording on "wired reflexes", it
should be changed to "attacks again". When I made Mongoose "Attacks
first. During combat, roll a d6; on 4+ Mongoose deals damage again", I
presumed he would need to use a weapon the second time (particularly burst
fire) to do so. I will change my card text to "Attacks first. On 4+,
also attacks during combat." Does that make sense, and require using a
weapon twice (and allow diffrent weapons?
So there is no "dmage dealing" procedure that requires you to use
weapons? You can just use them to increse threat, right, and that stays
for the whole combat - even if the weapon is destroyed, as in the baseball
bat?
