Peace Chris/Alexis,
I thought that the superior version of GR _did_ allow you to pay two
blood to bring a vampire from someone else's torpor region into your
ready region (I don't have the card in front of me).

Vast Wealth is 'permanent.' You can use it over and over (each turn).

The superior version of Grave Robbing does let the vamp become ready.
Here's how it works. At normal, the vamp is taken from the other torpor
and brought to your torpor. At the superior, you have the option of
spending 2 blood off the acting vamp to make the stolen vamp ready. The
superior allows you to pay the cost of rescuing the stolen vamp from your
torpor instead of taking another action to do so.

Vast Wealth is a permanent effect. It allows the vamp to equip with the
first piece of equipment from the deck, instead of from the hand. This is
at +1 stealth. The advantage of the card is to allow the vamp to equip
from the deck instead of the hand.

my thanks to the design team for putting out the most recent
FAQ! since i am quite isolated from any sort of playing group
i have become the resident rule interpretation source for
our group of 3 for our lunchtime jyhad matches. of course
all of my info has come from this group but it has been
quite tricky pulling together various takes on rulings to
arrive at definitive answers. although still containing a
few mistakes and contradictions the FAQ is a godsend for us
and greatly enhances our enjoyment of the game.
although i have never played any other of the many card
games now being offered i can't imagine how any could stack
up to jyhad. i think once all the kinks are ironed out and
a definitive rulebook made available that the popularity
of the game will take off.
now i got a couple of card questions that maybe the group
could checkout. thanks in advance for any help.
Grave robbing. is it just me or is the superior use the
same as the regular use? (except for the cost)
shouldn't the superior version allow the stolen vampire
to be ready? (albeit tapped)
Vast wealth. i think i read this is a one shot card.
is this the case? it seems like this should be a skill
the vampire gets to keep. if not, is the equip action
at +1 stealth or at normal +1 stealth for equipping
+ another 1 for the vast wealth?
that's it.

The superior version makes the vampire ready as well as giving you control
of it ("controlled region" should be read as "active region", at least
in this case).

It gives the vampire an additional action that it can keep using over and
over again to hunt for new equipment. The "equip" action is taken at
+1 stealth (card text).

If Vast Wealth is used to equip, and the action is intercepted, is the
equipment discarded or is the action terminated BEFORE the deck is searched?
Same for Magic of the Smith.

The action is teminated first. The search is part of the action, so if
the action gets intercepted, it doesn't happen.
