Ravnos Rules Questions (LSJ?)

While Week of Nightmares is in play, does an empty Ravnos have to "hunt"? Or can it do anything (or choose nothing?)? What if there are no other Ravnos? No other Ravnos with blood? Can you Force of Will - Kiss of Ra - Red Herring? Or does Red Herring require a *blocking minion*? Thanks Ben Swainbank

What if there are >no other Ravnos? No other Ravnos with blood? An empty vampire always must hunt. If there are no other Ravnos, it vibrates (does nothing). If the only other Ravnos have no blood, I suspect it can take a "steal" action, but it will steal zero blood. If the only other Ravnos are yours, I believe it becomes an undirected action. >Can you Force of Will - Kiss of Ra - Red Herring? Or does Red Herring >require a *blocking minion*? I would say that you can play Red Herring, but it will not tap the (now-torporized) vampire who attempted to block. (This strikes me as a somewhat expensive combo. =) -- Derek

Correct. > If the only other Ravnos are yours, I believe it becomes an undirected > action. This is true whenever the target of the action is controlled by the acting minion's controller, yes. > >Can you Force of Will - Kiss of Ra - Red Herring?
