As I mentioned in an earlier posting, I played recently with a group
who are pretty much isolated from the active V:tes community -- and
more particularly from the rules changes over the past several years.
There were 3 changes that were significant to our play that night. So,
I have since gone to the Online Rulebook to prepare for our next
soiree. Here's what the Rulebook addresses, and what it doesn't.
1) Timing for Strike Modifiers
It was questioned whether one can modify a strike after the other
minion has declared his strike (for example: Sadie strikes hands, Vliam
strikes hands, Sadie uses Wolf Claws?). Although I know that one can
modify a strike at any time before Strike Resolution, there seems to be
no explicit text in the Rulebook that covers this. Can an acting
player modify a strike after the reacting player declares her strike??
Let me know (so I can settle this at our next soiree).
2) Agg Damage & Burning Blood
Does the first point of agg damage send a vampire to torpor *and*
require that vampire to burn blood or burn?? Not any more. The
examples in the Rulebook cover this rather well, but I do believe that
the language before the examples is confusing. For example, the
Rulebook says: "For each point of damage inflicted on a vampire, he
must burn one blood to heal the damage." But, this is *not* true for
the first point of aggravated damage.
3) Tossing PA cards
The Rulebook is explicit about this: "Each Methuselah can gain no more
than one vote from political action cards."
So, if LSJ or a Reasonable Substitute could supply the ruling on the
combat modifier, we'll be on our way.
Thanks in advance,
Madman
