Any official ruling on this would be appreciated.
Blood of Acid;
Combat
Vicissitude
2 blood
inferior: "Only usable at close range before strikes are chosen. During
strike resolution, the opposing minion takes an amount of damage equal
to the damage he or she successfully inflicts."
SUPERIOR: "As above, but the damage is aggravated."
Now I have a question - does this apply just to the combat when the
Blood of Acid card was played, or should this be applied to the vampire
as a permanent card, like a Zip Gun (the only permanent combat card I
could think of...)???
In the WoD, the Blood of Acid power *is* permanent - you can't Embrace,
Blood Bond, create Ghouls, and your blood is basically acidic for the
rest of your unlife (fun combined with Plasmic Form...), regardless.
So, does this card stay on the vampire, or is it a one-combat effect?

One combat. A lot of disciplines that have an effect in the RPG have
different effects in V:TES, because they would be unbalanced if directly
translated. For example, they can't print on Blood of Acid, "This vampire
cannot take any action that requires normal blood," so they'd just leave
it the way it is, which would probably be broken. Another example is
Mummify, except it's broken the other way.

It is a one-strike effect. It applies only to the next strike resolution. (*)
