:some cards that I came up with.
Actually, "Attacks first" is pretty clear, and described in the little
book that comes with the game. It's "after comabt.... deals damage again"
that potentially causes havoc.
:Name - Dirty Tricks
:Type - Stinger
:Cost - 4¥
:Text - Play when target runner enters runner vs. runner combat. Target
:runner does its damage first. Adjust opposing runners threat rating for
:fatique as per normal rules. Dirty Tricks cannot be played on drones or
:spirits.
:Flavor - "Heres mud in your eye."
Great idea, but is it worth 4¥? Probaly- fatigue could save a runner,
or you'd kill of his opponent, no damage taken. Dependong on rarity, it
could be much cheaper, since it's useless outside combat.
:Name - Thinking ahead
:Type - Stinger
:Cost - 4¥
:Text - play when runner with drones or spirits enters runner vs. runner
:combat. Target drone or spirit does its damage first. Adjust opposing
:runners threat rating for fatique as per normal rules. Thinking ahead
:cannot be played on runners.
:Flavor - "Glad I sent it ahead. It will wear them down for us."
Based on the concept, I'd have it engage in combat sperately, before
normal combat- the user could still act in combat. Cost 2¥ or even free
(the thing WILL get trashed).
:Name - Known weakness
:Type - Stinger
:Cost - 4¥
:Text - Remove a line with the text "deals damage first" from target
:revieled challenge until end of turn.
:Flavor - "It aint so tough... if you know where to hit it."
How many challenges is that? This seems like a hand clogger, so could
be cheeper also. Then again, I usually run with at least one guy with
"stamina" to soak up first attacks.
:Name - Unforseen Problem
:Type - Stinger
:Cost - 4¥
:Text - Play on just revieled awakend or personell challenge. The
:challenge does its damage to the shadowrunning team first. Adjust all
:runners for fatiue as per the normal rules.
:Flavor - "I thought you said they wouldn't be armed!"
That is definately worth it. OUCH.
Cool ideas. What if to opposing combatants have "Attacks First"? I
assume they act simultaneously, yes?
