The situation: Muaziz is attempting to Arson an Elysium. The Elysium's controller, grumbling about minions with inherent stealth, declines to block. Abd-Al Rashid then uses Mask of 1000 Faces (at inferior) to take over the action. Question 1: Does the action currently have +1 stealth or no stealth? Question 2: If the action has no stealth, does the Elysium's controller have another chance to declare blocking attempts? Marc G.

Not that I'm the rules expert, but what the heck, I'll give it a wack and see if I can't get flamed some more.

The +1 is inherent to Muaziz, just like a +1 bleed would be inherent with Ozmo. > Question 2: If the action has no stealth, does the Elysium's controller > have another chance to declare blocking attempts? I think the correct sequence is that any time an action modifier is played, there is an option to play or react differently. So I'd say yes, the action which is now at 0 stealth can be reacted to, or blocked again. > > Marc G. > > HTH, Lee Who's Laughing Now? Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.

No. The decision not to block is final. -- LSJ (vte...@white-wolf.com) V:TES Net.Rep for White Wolf, Inc.
