Zhenga says "When Zhenga announces a recruit action or employ action, she may burn X blood. If the action succeeds, she may recruit and employ up to X additional allies and retainers from your hand (pay cost as normal)." Charisma says "Put this card on a ready vampire. This vampire's recruit ally actions cost 1 less blood or pool (but never less than 0 blood or pool)." If Zhenga has Charisma, and goes to recruit, say, 3 Bimas at once (X=2), does she pay 2 for X plus 2 for the additional 2 Bimas? Or does the Charisma discount apply to all three of the recruitments? I'm guessing the latter, since the additional allies aren't being recruited as a "recruit ally action", even though they are being recruited *during* a recruit ally action. Right? Josh needs more allies

[ quoted text not captured ] If by "the latter" you mean "the former", as your explanation indicates, yes. 2 for X, the "as an action" Bima for free, and the 2 bonus Bimas at 1 each, for a total of 4 blood expended.

LSJ a écrit : [ quoted text not captured ] In that same situation, which is the correct way to replace cards after Zengha's power is activated : - replace both additional Bimas, then move up to X disciplines from hand, then replace those disciplines ? - replace both additional Bimas, then move and replace up to 1 discipline per Bima one after the other (possibly drawing discipline #2 in replacement of discipline #1) ? thank you, François

The latter is fine.
