1. Minion A is acting and is blocked by Minion B. After the ensuing combat, Minion C plays Hidden Lurker and enters combat with B. Minion C uses Rowan Ring to strike: send B to torpor. C then uses Amaranth to diablerise B, in response to which B plays Undead Persistence. What happens? Would the result be different if the situation was the following: B is acting and is blocked by C, who strikes: sends B to torpor with Rowan Ring - B then plays Undead Persistence, in response to which C plays Amaranth? Finally: Minion B is sent to torpor by C's strike with Rowan Ring, and B plays Undead Persistence. Combat continues and ends, following which B goes to torpor. Could C then play Amaranth after the end of the combat? at the end of the last round of combat? Undead Persistence Type: Combat Discipline: Fortitude [for] Only usable when this vampire should go into torpor. This vampire gets an optional press and will not go to torpor until combat ends (although he or she is still considered wounded and can be burned as normal). If three rounds of combat pass with no cards played, combat ends. This vampire is sent into torpor after combat. [FOR] Prevent 2 damage. Amaranth Type: Combat Only usable by a vampire who can commit diablerie. Only usable when the opposing vampire should go to torpor. Diablerize the opposing vampire instead. Not usable by a vampire being burned or going to torpor. 2. The wording of Disguised Weapon, Concealed Weapon and Pack Alpha (inferior) differ slightly. Can any of these cards be played by a minion when you do not have a weapon/animal retainer in your hand? Concealed Weapon Type: Combat Only usable before range is determined. This minion equips with a non-unique weapon card from your hand (requirements and cost apply as normal). The weapon cannot cost 3 or more pool or inflict (with a regular strike) aggravated damage or 4 or more damage. Disguised Weapon Type: Combat Discipline: Obfuscate Only usable before range is chosen if you have a weapon card in your hand. [obf] Equip this vampire with that weapon (and pay cost to equip as normal). [OBF] As above, but usable when choosing a strike. Pack Alpha Type: Combat Discipline: Animalism A vampire may play only one Pack Alpha each round. [ani] This vampire employs an animal retainer from your hand before range is determined. Pay cost as normal. [ANI] Burn an animal retainer employed by this vampire and put this card on this vampire. The minion with this card gets +1 strength. A minion may have only one Pack Alpha. 3. Does Rowan Ring count as a "weapon that inflicts aggravated damage" for the purposes of Concealed Weapon? Thanks, Christian

It cannot be played after combat ends. > 2. The wording of Disguised Weapon, Concealed Weapon and Pack Alpha > (inferior) differ slightly.

So it may not be Concealed. -- salem (replace 'hotmail' with 'gmail' to email)

Undead Persistence doesn't allow the vampire to go to torpor during that combat. So the combat ends with the vampire still ready. And then, after combat ends, the vampire goes to torpor. >> 2.

Correct.
