LSJ: questions

Some questions: 1. A player's Hand can be reduced to 0 size? (Say, targetting a Methuselah with seven (or more) Aggressive Tactics?). 2. Damage that "cannot be prevented" can be "changed to" by other cards? Say, an Heart of Darkness can change to normal the Daring the Dawn's (unpreventable) aggravated damage? 2a.If yes, the "changed" unpreventable damage can be then prevented, now that the very damage's form has changed? 3. Allies can use a Channeling the Beast? Many thanks in advance. Aemilianus, Prince of Rome. Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.

Some allies are given the ability to use cards of a specific discipline, and can spend life in lieu of blood, but this card wouldn't fall under such a ruling. Besides, Scapelli has a pretty tame "Beast" ;-) Remember. IANALSJ Regards, R. David Zopf Atom Weaver V:EKN Prince of Charlotte, NC

Correct. It only changes in the manner specified (i.e., "aggravated" to "normal"). Other traits ("unpreventable") are not affected. > >3.
