Hidden Lurker, Bum's Rush

Hi, I need some help. 1) Can someone explain me to use Hidden Lurker efficiently? 2) How can I use Bum's Rush? 3) What can I do against Theft of Vitae (what a nightmare!), I use a Brujah intercept deck? Does the vampire using it suffer any dammage? 4) I need Brujah decks with explanations how to use it. Thanks. Maurice

It's best use comes in a aggravated-damage use (or a massive hand-strike use). Get one of your "weak" vampires blocked. After combat, use Hidden Lurker to attack the blocking minion with one of your vampire who can strike for aggravated damage. Then deal your damage and send the blocker to torpor (he can't dodge or Strike: Combat Ends, so it almost a lock-in - the only way he can get away is to maneuver or use some outside effect like Elysium: Arboretum). >2) How can I use Bum's Rush? You tap one of your minions and announce a minion that you would like to enter combat with. The Rush is a (D) action, just like a bleed is, so only the Methuselah controlling the target minion may attempt to block. If she chooses to block (and you don't increase your stealth), the blocker is tapped and you go to combat with the blocker. If not, then the target is left tapped or untapped (whichever he was to begin with), and you enter combat with the target. >3) What can I do against Theft of Vitae (what a nightmare!), I > use a Brujah intercept deck? > Does the vampire using it suffer any dammage? If you punch him, he'll suffer damage - but he'll likely pay to heal the damage with the stolen blood and come out ahead. >4) I need Brujah decks with explanations how to use it. Sorry, not my forte.

Use a weenie, enter combat, dodge or S:ce or manuver to range. Hidden Lurker in a Bruiser and make sure range is close then pummel with Serious hand damage (torn signpost/Fist of Death/undead strength) or agg claws/ivory bow him. >2) How can I use Bum's Rush? Declare an action to pick a fight with a vampire who is pissing you off. Wither a predatorary vamp that is bleeding the shit out of you, or a blocker of your prey that you want more fight with. Great as a prelude to Hidden lurker. Also usable by the Muddled vampire hunter or other allies to gain the manuver and to move against allies themselves. >3) What can I do against Theft of Vitae (what a nightmare!), I > use a Brujah intercept deck? > Does the vampire using it suffer any dammage? Try pulled fangs. If you're using a punch deck and can stay at close range, then you punch him (even for one) and he steals two. Then you play pulled fangs since you have inflicted more damage than he has at close range (1 versus 0). >4) I need Brujah decks with explanations how to use it. see http://www.mindspring.com/~strom/jyhad.htm or other jyhad deck archives online. Think Torn Signposts/Fists of Death/Undead Strengths/Pulled Fangs/Tastes of Vitae/Bum's rushes/Haven Uncovered's. That's the potence aspect. Then use celerity as you'd like for Blurs and Acrobatics. Traps if you think it's neccessary. and Presence for the occaisional bleeds and S:CE when needed. >Thanks. >Maurice
