Some questions about moving retainers and raptors: (A) Ox (ANI) recruits a Raptor. The Raptor is moved to Dani (ani) by Heidelberg Castle. Does the Raptor 'stay in superior mode' ? (B) Dani (ani) uses Shepherd's Innocence to take control of Ox' Raptor. Is the Raptor now in 'inferior mode' ? (C) Blaise (ANI; CEL) has a Raptor on her. She's in combat with another minion, whose Meth reduces his hand size by one. After combat ends Blaise plays Psyche. Does the opposing Meth replace his hand and then discards again another card to reduce his handsize? (D) Blaise (ANI) with a Raptor started combat with another minion. After combat is over Ox (ANI, OBF) wants to use Hidden Lurker to get in combat. Is there an opportunity to tap Heidelberg Castle betweeen these combats to move the Raptor to Ox before he plays Hidden Lurker or does the combat from Hidden Lurker still count as 'during the action'? (E) If there is an opportunity in (D): Would the opposing Meth redraw and re-discard ? (F) If Ox in (D) already has a Raptor: Would the opposing Meth redraw and re-discard ?

No. It's still part of an action (hidden lurker is an action modifier) and you can't tap heidelberg during actions. > (E) If there is an opportunity in (D): Would the opposing Meth redraw and > re-discard ? If both vampires (Blaise and ox) had raptors, Yes, the meth would have to discard and redraw after combat, then discard for the hidden lurker triggered combat. > (F) If Ox in (D) already has a Raptor: Would the opposing Meth > redraw and re-discard ?

[I don't claim to know these answers for sure.

I think so. For the same reasons than when Dani recruits a raptor and then gets superior Animalism, the Raptor stays at inferior. This is part of the "you'd have to take notes to keep track of everything problem" ... A card keeps the "mode" it had when it came into play. > (B) Dani (ani) uses Shepherd's Innocence to take control of > Ox' Raptor. > Is the Raptor now in 'inferior mode' ? I think not, for the same reasons. > (C) Blaise (ANI; CEL) has a Raptor on her. > She's in combat with another minion, whose Meth reduces > his hand size by one. After combat ends Blaise plays Psyche. > Does the opposing Meth replace his hand and then discards > again another card to reduce his handsize? I think so, because it is a different combat. > (D) Blaise (ANI) with a Raptor started combat with another minion. > After combat is over Ox (ANI, OBF) wants to use Hidden Lurker > to get in combat. > Is there an opportunity to tap Heidelberg Castle betweeen these > combats to move the Raptor to Ox before he plays Hidden Lurker > or does the combat from Hidden Lurker still count as 'during the action'? Since HL is an action modifier, I don't think you can use the HC. > (E) If there is an opportunity in (D): Would the opposing Meth redraw and > re-discard ? > > (F) If Ox in (D) already has a Raptor: Would the opposing Meth > redraw and re-discard ? I think so, because it is a different combat (same thing as Psyche!). JC

Hunting Grounds, etc.). Once in play, the attributes of a card do not change (except as noted in the rules or on card text). > > (B) Dani (ani) uses Shepherd's Innocence to take control of > > Ox' Raptor. > > Is the Raptor now in 'inferior mode' ? > > No. It's still a super annoyance, uber-raptor =) Correct. > > (C) Blaise (ANI; CEL) has a Raptor on her. > > She's in combat with another minion, whose Meth reduces > > his hand size by one.

If you're feeling adventurous, something like a non-metal paper clip (since the metal ones tend to try and pull back to their normal shape too much) may be of use - putting it at the top of the card for inferior, and the bottom for superior, or somesuch. -- James Coupe PGP Key: 0x5D623D5D And if it's all right, I'd kind've like to be your lover EBD690ECD7A1F 'Cause when you're with me I can't help but be B457CA213D7E6 So desperately, uncontrollably happy 68C3695D623D5D
