Blood Doll Question...

Does using the blood doll to draw a blood into your own pool actually take your master phase?? or can a master still be played after taking the blood? Tom

[ quoted text not captured ] No....the blood must just be given or taken from the doll during your master phase.....we also decided in our games that since placing the doll on a vampire IS the master phase that none can be taken or given until the next round since once the card is placed your master phase is over.

[ quoted text not captured ] Using the Blood Doll does not take your Master phase. You can Doll off a vampire *and* play a Master card during your Master phase. You can play a Blood Doll as your Master card, then draw a blood since it is still your Master phase. However, it doesn't matter how many Blood Dolls you stack on one vampire, you can't pull more than one blood off of it during your Master phase. The only thing that makes you skip your entire Master phase is playing an Out-of-Turn card. -- Arrogantly twisting the sterile canvas snoot of a | a-Henh! fully charged icing annointment utensil, he poots forth | a tiny green rosette near the summit of a dense but | Brian radiant muffin of his own design. | Wilson | We miss you, Frank! |

Which implies that you cannot use it if you used an out-of-turn master since your last turn. The cost of playing an out-of-turn master is quite high.

If you play an out-of-turn card, you don't get to use your Blood Dolls next turn, because you don't get a master phase *at all*. [ quoted text not captured ]

I think it's the other way around Brian, If you have multiple Blood Dolls, you can take multiple blood of them, right Tom? _____________________________________________________________________________ Ted Cabeen cab...@netcom.com Finger for PGP Public Key 7312...@compuserve.com "Be Yourself" cococ...@aol.com -- _____________________________________________________________________________ Ted Cabeen cab...@netcom.com Finger for PGP Public Key 7312...@compuserve.com "Be Yourself" cococ...@aol.com

From the card: "Place this card on a vampire you control. You may move 1 blood from this vampire to your blood pool or from your blood pool to this vampire during each of your master phases for the remainder of the game." Note that you cannot move blood to or from the Blood Doll itself. Blood Doll (or Dolls) imparts the new ability to the vampire. The Blood Doll card stays as a marker, but isn't required. You could still move 1 blood to or from this vampire for the remainder of the game without or without the card on the table. [ quoted text not captured ]

As I seem to remember has been stated by Tom Wylie on rulings about cards and their cumulative nature, unless it states that it is non-cumulative or it is the "Army of Rats" (which should state that it is non-cumulative), then the card *is* cumulative. I believe each "Blood Doll" (which is *not* an ability, but a human -- see the Jyhad Player's Guide) does allow you to move 1 blood each. Combined with "The Rack", this allows a 2 pool per turn gain (massive "blood straw")! -- Dale Hurtt dhu...@harris.com

You can make use of multiple Blood Dolls in a single master phase, even if they are on the same vampire. Blood Doll is not like the Investments in this respect. Tom Wylie rec.games.trading-cards.* Network Representative for aa...@cats.ucsc.edu Wizards of the Coast, Inc.
