Lovely concept... a lot too much power. Two nuyen and more often than
not a 50% or better chance to kill off 85% off all human or elf runners.
That and the banshee doesn't turn to do it. Plus the runner is
FRAGGED... not just trashed... That would devistate any
decker/mage/shaman deck.

This is good. Small penalty for using that ability... balanced with the
lower cost.

The odds are really stacked up against the user on this one... I don't
think I would waste 2¥ on a 1 in 6 chance of a positive effect.
you might want to change the odds to at least a 50/50 chance of
positive... something like 1- loose gear, 2-3 no-effect, 4+ blah blah

This one is really good. I like it... allows for stocking up on such
things as shurikin, or that gun you really need.
