Extortion Q

Fellow Methusalehs: Extortion reads, in part, "Only usable when this vampire successfully blocks (play after combat, if any)". I wanted to confirm my understanding of this, and that is that the blocking vampire must still be ready after combat (i.e. not in torpor, not burned). I am a bit confused since the wording implies that this card can only be "used" at the moment that the vampire successfully blocks, but must be "played" after combat. Thanks in advance, Madman

The combat is part of the block. -- LSJ (vte...@white-wolf.com) V:TES Net.Rep for White Wolf, Inc. Links to revised rulebook, rulings, errata, and tournament rules: http://www.white-wolf.com/vtes/

"Playable by a tapped vampire" is implicit in "Only usable when this vampire successfully blocks", right? Josh the always-tapped prince of washington dc

Ugh. It should be explicit, like Cats' Guidance. But yes, the implication is there. I'll add the errata. [ quoted text not captured ]
