...more combat questions

More questions: Do retainers strike in an immortal grappled combat ? Can all hand strikes be made by an immortal grappled vampire or only the innate damage (ex. torn signpost) be inflicted ? Thanks, Thomas

Retainers that deal damage (Wolf Companion, Ghoul Retainer, etc.) will do their thing even if their employer has been grappled or has grappled someone else. > Can all hand strikes be made by an immortal grappled vampire or only > the innate damage (ex. torn signpost) be inflicted ? Any hand strike can be made. Lucky Blow, Burning Wrath, etc. -- L.

Lucky Blow, Burning Wrath, etc. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ This is based on the last Rules Team ruling, yes? Burning Wrath is realistically not (but, according to the RT, technically) a hand strike, right?

Yes. >Burning Wrath is realistically not (but, according to the RT, technically) >a hand strike, right? Maybe. But Scorpion sting uses the same template, and Scorpion Sting should definately be a hand strike. The only thing that will make Burning Wrath not a hand strike at this point will be official errata. -- L.

I hope no one else has already grabbed this, I haven't made it to the end of the thread yet, also, I hope I don't get beaten for always trying to assume as much of the RPG as possible... As far as I understand it, Burning Wrath is "realistically" supposed to be a hand strike, it's just some super-heated ability. (ref. Brujah Clanbook) Anyway, that's it... Xian
