Couple questions -- some stupider than others

I was looking over the official rules (printed out from the site) and have a couple questions (some stupider than others): 1. To quote: "When a card is burned, it is placed into it's owner's discard pile." Could Imogen (!Malk) use her power to replace a card in a methuselah's hand with a burned vampire in his ash heap? It seems plausible, but for no other reason than for a good laugh. (this is the stupid question) 2. I know that you can only play the a particular action modifier once during an action but does that mean that you can't play the same card to do a different effect either? I'm thinking about the vicissitude card that lets you either do +1 stealth or +1 bleed. Could you play two of it for both effects? I think the answer is no, but I want it in writing. . . 3. I'm still confused about the official rules regarding when the latest you can play agg hand damage cards like wolf claws and bone spur is. Can you play a wolf claws AFTER you have declard your strike? 4. When taking non-preventable aggravated damage in combat why is it okay to play skin of night to change the damage to regular? It seems that you are "preventing" the aggravated part of the damage. . . That's it, Thanks! Neil Paananen Arch?Bishop? of? Denver?

Just to be clear, you can still play the card more than once if you aren't using the action modifier effect more than once, right? Say if the card was the other Vicissitude card, Plasmic Form - Action Modifier/Combat card. You could use the modifier effect, and then if still blocked, use the combat effect multiple times, eh? p.

[ quoted text not captured ] Yes. If you're not playing an action modifier, then the restriction doesn't apply. [ quoted text not captured ]
