Here are three questions that my coven and I cannot answer on our own, so he are appealing to a higher (i.e."offical") authority. Q. Does the master card Sudden Reversal allow you to burn any master card on the table, or only those just now being played by another Methuselah? Q Does the card Bum's Rush allow you to take a direct action against a tapped minion; can you attempt to steal blood, or can you enter into combat, and if so can the tapped minion defend itself? Q. Can a Far Mastery card be played to steal a clan specific ally by a minion is is not the proper clan to use the ally? i.e.Can a Tremere use Far Mastery to steal the Arms Dealer from a Brujah? Thanking you in advance! Lrayox

Only on a master card just played. The master card still counts as having been played, which matters for cards like Giant's Blood. >Q Does the card Bum's Rush allow you to take a direct action against a >tapped minion; can you attempt to steal blood, or can you enter into >combat, and if so can the tapped minion defend itself? Yes, you can use Bum's Rush on a tapped minion. >Q. Can a Far Mastery card be played to steal a clan specific ally by a >minion is is not the proper clan to use the ally?... Yes. You only need a matching vampire to *play* a card with an appropriate clan symbol; once the card is in play, clan is irrelevant except for special cases like Backways.

If my memory isn't playing me one of it's usual tricks, I think you can use Far Mastery to take control of a retainer. What happens when the retainer has abilities that are dependent on a Disciplin? For example, Wolf Companion and Murder of Crows have Life points that varies depending on whether you have basic or superior Animalism. If the Far Mastering vampire doesn't have Animalism, and the vampire that originally "employed" the retainer has superior Animalism, will the retainer have the higher or the lower Life score? a) The higher score. The "power" of the retainer doesn't change when it's "owner" changes. b) The lower score. The new controler doesn't have superior Animalism. c) No score. :) You have to have Animalism to have that retainer. This means that either you can't take control of such a retainer without the proper Disciplin, or that you have to discard it as soon as you get it. This question is also related to what happens when the controler of a disciplin-dependent retainer raises the disciplin to superior. Will the stats of the retainer change? Anders

What happens when the retainer has >abilities that are dependent on a Disciplin? For example, Wolf Companion and The retainer's life is set upon recruitment. It doesn't change. So if you steal a retainer from someone with sup. animalism when you have none, it keeps the same life with which it started. The same is true when the vampire controlling it changes disciplines. | If you've got a hot lead on a new | *--Joe--* | PC game, call the announce line at | jsciv@vt.edu | ** csipga@discus.ise.vt.edu ** | +-------------------------------------+---------------------------------- "Carnivores, oy!" -- Timon, TLK

What happens when the retainer has >abilities that are dependent on a Disciplin?... A retainer or ally with variable life has that life set when it is put into play. For example, if Vliam Andor recruits a Murder of Crows, the MoC will have 1 life; if I later give Vliam superior Animalism, the Crows don't jump to 2 life. Similarly, if a vampire steals the Crows, they will remain at 1 life, regardless of whether the stealing vampire has Animalism, and if so, at what level.

Yes, You only needs those clans to play those cards. You don't need to have the clan in play to keep them. I.E. I have one Brujah out and I play an arms dealer. If that Brujah then gets burned the Arms dealer sticks around even though I have no more Brujah out. Hope that helps! --- Animal ind00103@pegasus.cc.ucf.edu
