papy72 493 Posted February 8, 2013 Is ther currently any way to increase the hand size of the runner? I know the Corp has an upgrade that gives +2 hand but I haven't found anything for the runner side. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildfire393 0 Posted February 8, 2013 Negative. There is no current or (spoiled/rumored) upcoming card that increases runner handsize. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildfire393 0 Posted February 8, 2013 And, just as I said that, I hear tell that the Neutral Runner card in the upcoming Cyber Exodus will be a resource that increases the Runner's hand size by 2. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JosephCurwen 4 Posted February 12, 2013 That would make it much tougher to kill the runner, and would almost destroy that strategy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
photogasm 15 Posted February 12, 2013 Public Sympathy Neutral, Resource, Cost:2 Your maximum hand size is increased by 2. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nerdmeister 144 Posted February 13, 2013 It has always been easier for the corp to win by flatlining the runner than for the runner to win by making the corp empty his R&D. Besides it is a resource and thus subject to trashing if the runner is tagged Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

etherial 62 Posted February 14, 2013 JosephCurwen said: That would make it much tougher to kill the runner, and would almost destroy that strategy How many cards does the average Runner discard over the course of the game? I don't think this card is as dangerous as you fear. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JosephCurwen 4 Posted February 15, 2013 So if you have 3 of these you could have a hand size of 11. Brain damage or even other damage doesn't look so bad anymore. I am new to this game but doesn't that sound correct? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am new to this game but doesn't that sound correct? you are correct about the hand size potential, but I dunno about brain damage being not so bad anymore. after all, Taking 6 brain damage with all 3 installed has you back to your original hand size (and there are more things now that do brain damage)…. keep a tag on the corps turn when they have 6 credits… all they have to do is trash these resources and wait for you to lose Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Messenger2 0 Posted February 16, 2013 On the other hand, such could be a lifesaver. If you're down hand size because of brain damage or about to suffer more, Public Sympathy could save you or at least keep you in the fight. Also, it can make you more wiling to risk brain damage for a chance to grab victory, in the same way that Stimhack does. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And that is a perfectly viable mentality. but that's why I've got Edge of World in my deck. I'm gonna go Hannibal on some people. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Runix 2 Posted February 16, 2013 As noted above, if the Runner is tagged, then her Resources can get trashed by the Corp. So flatlining the Runner is still a definite possibility; the Corp will have to work for it a bit more, is all. That's a good thing, I think; the "Weyland Special" (Posted Bounty, Scorched Earth, Scorched Earth, game over) is now harder to pull off, and doing damage to the Runner is more about economics (and forcing discard of critical cards) than getting the big combo in. The recent data packs have introduced more solutions for the Runner for dealing with damage, so I think this is a conscious move by the designers.
