Do you leave it in your junk cards because it has a obfuscate symbol
on it?
What about ignoring the obfuscate symbol and treating it as a generic
minion card? Do you think this makes the Brujah, Toreador, and their
minions just a leetle bit too powerful?

Even if a combat ends card is played you still have the equipment
without giving the others the opportunity to block.

as an aside, you can only play one card for extra strikes per combat round
per combatant (per rulebook 15.2, maybe 15.1 i am not precisely sure)

Actually, how I play with the obfuscate is only from making up a deck for
a friend....he wanted Gangrel, so I made the Gangrel deck with a LOT of
weapons, then added in three low level vamps with obfuscate, added in
about 6 master obfuscate cards and then a bunch of the concealed
weapon....since the Gangrel don't have all that much power at hand compat
unless using something like Thaumaturgey which you generally need a card
for etc....
worked nicely :)

While this may work well, I'm going to take issue with the idea that
Ganrel don't have all that much power at hand combat. Several of them
are 2 hand damage vampires, and one of them does *aggravated* hand damage,
which is pretty potent for hand combat. Plus, practically every last
one of them has Protean, which has more cards to do aggravated damage
than any other discipline.
Me, I'd never go into hand combat with a gangrel unless I could get out
of the way of their hand damage. It's too risky...

I don't understand. If you are going to interpret the card using the
obfuscate symbol you might as well replace the concealed weapon cards
with the disgised weapon. The inferior version is better (no restrictions)
and you may get a minion with superior obf. in which case
you can equip at the beginning of the strike phase.

I seem to remember a rule stating that only one card can be used to
get additional strikes per combat round, so you would need presses to
inflict 8 damage. Well 6 damage with blur if you have superior
celerity should be enough for most smaller vampires.

Never try to be amusing and order something like a
"pint of dishwater". Judging by the state of some
of our larger brewers' beers, you just might get it.

True. p.33: "Only one card may give an additional strike to a Minion for
each round of combat."
