Here's my two cents worth on that list of questions posted earlier today.

1) You must assign both a type of alergy and a severity, but your character
only gets a bonus from one of them.

2) I would say that a Troll vs. Dwarf would give a Troll a superior posistion.

3) Yeah +4 to magic TN and +2 to normal target numbers for Owl shamens in the
sun.

4) I assume both magical theory library and Sorcery library are the same thing,
I have never seen anything that said there was more than one kind of
library. Of course, shamens don't use libraries, they use just the
formula they bought or devised. {Anybody else have anything to say on the
subject?}

9) No, the person could not attack an astral being. Not because the focus
couldn't make contact, but because the astral being is so much faster than
a meat body, and the attacker couldn't compensate for the target moving
around.

9a) Use the number of successes in the Invisibilty spell casting as a modifier
for attacks against invisible people. Against naturally invisible animals,
use the +8 blind attack rule.

10) If the corporate decker isn't in the "Contacts" chapter, then it is probably
in the "Contacts" chapter in Sprawl Sites, and probably will be in the
packet that will come along with the new GM screen.

12) A person uses a deck so that any damage done to them by gray IC is taken
by the deck, and the worst that could happen is having your deck crash and
getting dumped from the Matrix. If you go in "naked" then damage from gray
IC is taken by the decker himself, and he could die. To most Shadowrunners,
this is a bad thing.

Sorry I couldn't repeat the questions or if the answers were a little vague.
