Reaction Questions

1. Can the same reacting minion play twice a Telepatic Counter on the same action, to reduce a bleed on 2+2, for example? 2. And can a vampire block a bleed and if unsucessful (block) can the same vampire deflect it? 3. Can a vampire deflect a bleed after a bleed action modifier has been played? Or it can only be deflected after the bleed action is announced AND before action modifiers played? 4. Can another minion try to block an action after the first have failed? Thanks! .- Luis....@ip.pt

Only 1 of a given reaction (or action modifier) may be played per minion per action. > 2.

However, if a vampire attempts to block a bleed, he may of course (assuming he's untapped or has played a Wake) play a reaction card to deflect the bleed. Note: if a vampire uses Telepathic Misdirection for +1 intercept, but is still unsuccessful, he may not use Telepathic Misdirection to bounce the bleed, because it is a reaction. Another vampire could, however. > 3. Can a vampire deflect a bleed after a bleed action modifier > has been played?

Generally, once you've determined that the bleed will not be blocked, the methuselah who's been bled asks "how much?" If the predator modifies the bleed, then you can deflect it. Or if he says he won't modify it, you can still deflect it. > 4. Can another minion try to block an action after the first have > failed? > Yes. -Chris

No minion may play duplicates of the same reaction card during an action. If you want to use 2 Telepathic Counters during a bleed, you need two ready, untapped vampires with Auspex. > 2.
