This is probably just my inept reading of the rules rather than a lack of ruling but I can't find an answer... Can you target a vampire in torpor with a D action? Specifically, could I use Enkidu's rush special to enter combat with a torpored vamp? relevant text - Enkidu can enter combat with any minion as a (D) action There is no mention made of ready or otherwise so I think I probably can, but want to confirm.

Diablerie, for example. > Specifically, could I use Enkidu's rush > special to enter combat with a torpored vamp? > > relevant text - Enkidu can enter combat with any minion as a (D) > action > > There is no mention made of ready or otherwise so I think I probably > can, but want to confirm. No. Only ready minions can enter combat, so only ready minions can be the target of an "enter combat" action.

Cheers. Is there any action other than diablerie that you can take against a torpored vamp?

[ quoted text not captured ] sure. Rescue. (You can rescue someone else's vampire if you like) Graverobbing. Sacrificial Lamb. Amam's special. Dismemberment of Osiris. probably others.

[ quoted text not captured ] That is legal, yes. (but it is not an example of a D action, of course).

[ quoted text not captured ] Right. I was just replying to what I see here in this post - "action other than diablerie that you can take against a torpored vamp?" I guess if it's your own minion, then it isn't "against". Thanks! best - chris
