To which the answer would be ... so? The newly-played Challenge goes face-down
on top of the Challenge stack; it's not like it pops up in combat.
>How bout during a run challenges may be played before a challenge is revealed.
Equally murky: Could I add a Challenge after the first Challenge was revealed and
defeated? (That Challenge, after, was revealed; it's now "after a Challenge has been
revealed...")
Now, there *is* a (possibly) clearer wording -- between Challenges, you may add Runners
or Challenges; however, it was my intention with this card that it would help alleviate
some
of the (many) discard effects in AEX. So, if I had a handful of Challenges, and slammed
into
a Quetzlcouatl, I could do something with those cards besides trash them.

That, actually, was the original intention behind Red Widow and the Rapier. And it
*is* a powerful effect -- but the Objective's only worth 15 Rep, and may not be there for
the taking when you're finally ready for it. And since you may be running through seven
or eight Challenges in a row, you may end up needing all those Runners, too.
The maximum number of Runners may vary from time to time (one of my many net.cards is a
special
that limits the number of Runners you can send on a run; Gabe has a similar card). So
listing a
specific number of Runners may be misleading.

Already hit on this, believe it or not.

Same as any Challenge: just the owner. (You can't pump my Security Mage; why should you
be able to pump my Wolves?)

The RBT lists 'basic level' as being equal to Skill-1; and 'enhanced' for anything over
one (but generally meaning 2). No, the terms aren't used often; part of the joys of
expansions is to bring the underused facets of the game back into the light, let them
shine.

I mentioned it in another post: I should have an alphabetized list on my site by tomorrow
