webpage. For those who may only have email and not WWW access, I've
pasted the first series of Q&A below:
Frequently Asked Questions
What's up with Halloweener Hell? Shouldn't it have a Threat Rating?
Yes, Halloweener Hell should have a Threat Rating of 6/4.
Will FASA offer tournament rules for the Shadowrun TCG?
Yes. As soon as we finalize them, we'll post them on our web page.
What's the first expansion called? And when is it going to be released?
The first expansion is tentatively called "Underworld," and it's going
to focus on the Yakuza, Mafia, Lone Star and specific gangs like the
Halloweeners, Ancients, and others. In addition, there will be more
Spells, Spirits, Drones and so on. The release date is currently
January.
Shouldn't "Hit And Run" and "Sabotaged Controls" be trashed after
they're revealed?
Oops. Yes, both these cards should be trashed after they've been
revealed.
Can I play a Gear card on a turned Runner?
No.
Some Objectives are too tough; when they come into play no one can
take them. How can I avoid this?
Make sure that you build your deck to include Objectives that your
Runners can achieve.
Can Saeder-Krupp win the game?
Yes. Lofwyr the dragon, owner of Saeder-Krupp, can in fact steal
victory from you mere mortals.
Does Fatigue apply to damage a Runner has just received from a card
that "attacks first"?
Yes.
Why is the dragon from the Dragon Hunt card so weak compared to other
dragons in the game?
It's a very young dragon. No shadowrun team would be crazy enough to
hunt down a full-grown dragon.
Do bluffs count as Challenges on the Objectives Cermak Blast/Cleanse
the Hive/Urban Brawl?
No. Once revealed, they're discarded.
If I play Lofwyr's Schemes and the next Objective is Sucker Run, do I
get to reveal another Objective?
No. If Sucker Run is revealed in this way, the runner team earns no
Reputation points. The Sucker Run card is then fragged.
Can I use the Yamaha Rapier to have someone join a shadowrunning team
of 6 Runners?
No. You may never have more than 6 Runners participate in a shadowrun.
Can I have 6 Runners on a shadowrun and also use a Runner in the
Sniper Roost and/or have a Runner use Indirect Fire?
No. The maximum number of Runners that may participate in a shadowrun
is 6. This maximum includes Deckers.
If a Decker using Recon discovers the Custom System Challenge, is
Custom System placed face up at this time?
Yes. Normally, looking at a Challenge using the Recon special trait
does not "reveal" that Challenge, but this is an exception.
Is the Awakened critter from Critter Hunt/Amazonian Hunt re-rolled
every time a Runner or team faces it?
Yes.
Can I decide to NOT put a card into play for free if I roll a 6 when
using Mr. Black/Mr. Johnson/Talismonger?
No. If you don't want to put a card into play for free, then that card
is trashed.
Can I discard the Ceska vz/120 from my hand to get the 1¥?
No. The Ceska vz/120 must be trashed from play in order to get the 1¥.
Does a Runner with Guard choose how much damage he will take when
using that trait or does he have to take it all?
He must take all the damage. Any excess damage is applied to the
original target of the attack.
Can you exchange any amount of gear between Runners?
When two Runners turn to exchange gear, they may exchange any amount
of gear. Remember that a Runner may not own gear that he does not have
the skills to use.
If I pump Tin Man (normally 5/5) to 8/8 and he takes 6 damage, what
happens?
Tin Man's stats will return to normal during the End phase of the
turn. This would give him 6 damage against a Body of 5, and so Tin Man
would be trashed.
If 2 cards come into conflict, how do I resolve the dispute?
The player whose turn it currently is plays his card first; otherwise,
both you and your opponent should roll D6. The card of the player with
the higher roll takes effect this turn.
I have Shasta in play and she has Sorcery 2 but only one spell. Can I
cast that same spell twice?
No. Each spell may only be used once per turn.
Can I look at my Objective before I put it into play face down?
No. If you accidentally see the Objective that you are putting into
play, shuffle it back into the rest of your Objectives and choose
another.
What are the Sleaze requirements on Time-Delayed Bomb?
A team needs either Athletics and Technical 2 OR Demolition to sleaze
this Challenge.
Does a Runner with the Ambidextrous card get 2 attacks?
No. The Runner gets to add the bonuses from both guns to a single
attack.
I intercept a shadowrun with a single Runner who has Drug tokens from
Club Vortex. I decide to use a Drug token and it kills my Runner. Is
the shadowrun intercepted?
No. You must state which gear a Runner is using before he
fights/intercepts. If you decide to use a Drug token on your Runner
and it kills him, that event takes place before combat.
If I have already intercepted one shadowrun against an Objective that
I have in play and the Cover Up Special card is played on that
Objective, can I intercept a shadowrun against that Objective when it
is revealed again?
No.
If I use the Sudden Goblinization Stinger card on a mage who has
magical Gear to transform that Runner into a troll, what happens to
the Gear?
Because he will lose all his Skills, any Gear he was carrying that had
a Skill requirement would be trashed. (Ouch!)
If my mage has Sorcery-2 and has 2 spells like Fireball, can I use
both during a single combat?
No. A mage with Sorcery-2 cannot use two spells whose effect is to
replace the mage's Attack Rating with the Attack Rating of the spell.
For example, if a mage has two Fireball spells, he could not use them
both in a single combat and add together the Attack Ratings of both
spells. He could, however, use the Armor spell and the Fireball spell
in the same combat. The mage must declare which spell(s) he is using
at the beginning of the combat.
Can I really play as many Challenge cards as I want on Objectives
during my turn?
Yes, you can play as many Challenge cards as you want on Objectives
during your turn, up to the maximum number of Challenges allowed. The
maximum Challenges allowed per Objective is determined by how many
people are playing the game, as explained in the rulebook.
Can a mage use a spell such as Heal during another player's turn?
Yes.
Can a decker use a Program such as Black Hammer during another
player's turn?
Yep.
Can you play Cyberware on another player's Runner?
Definitely not!
Can you play cards that increase a Challenge's Threat Rating on a
Challenge that doesn't have a Threat Rating?
No.
What happens to Challenges that are left on an Objective when a player
takes that Objective?
Any Challenges remaining on an Objective when it is taken are trashed.
Does a Runner with the Fame special trait generate the extra ¥ from
that trait when he chooses to fill his hand up to seven cards rather
than taking ¥ during the Refresh phase?
No. The Fame special trait generates ¥ during the Credstick phase, and
filling your hand to seven cards replaces the opportunity to draw any
nuyen during the Credstick phase.
