Smash and Grab

So there's this new 3-discipline card only usable by Anarchs. The animalism ability says: +1 stealth action. Burn 2 life from an ally or retainer. So, this isn't damage? You can use this ability against Ambrosius, for example? That's pretty brutal.

I for one like the potence ability on this card - that +1 stealth can mean all the difference between life and death!

Well, you can become an anarch without an action, too, but yeah. Intercept is broken. ~SV

SV is right! intercept is 'broken'. i'm sure everyone that plays with intercept 'colludes' with their cross-table buddy, too. ;) oh yeah, smash and grab. cool idea. i like. Gillian Krader with the Hand of Conrad (or eye of Hazimel) suddenly has an entire deck concept (fill deck with smash and grabs). now all we need is a pot/pro/vic card, and Rex the Necronomist will really come into his own! salem.
