One question about this card: in the Vampire: the Masquerade RPG, a
vampire enters a state of Rotschreck when it is about to be destroyed or
torporized, like when the sun comes up or it is surrounded by fire or
something that could potentially destroy it. However, in the card game
of Vampire, the card acts against the minion causing the Rotschreck
state instead of the vampire suffering from it. This doesn't make sense
to my friends who play both the RPG and the CCG. What is the
explanation?

The Rules Team feels that it should work the other way. The do not
give any further explanation. Sorry.

If I may add my 2 cents...
Rotschrek is a master-out-of-turn so it seems to me that the card
represents
the methusala getting involved and letting you know, in no uncertain
terms,
he/she doesn't like the idea of you using a bit of aggro damage on one
of
his/her minions.
