The subject says it all. Can you take stuff from a vampire that is being contested? Two specifics: Given: Black Cat is in contention. She has The Rack and a shotgun. 1: Can you steal the rack from her? 2: Can you equip someone else with her shotgun? -Joel

"Stuff" is a nebulous term, especially given your examples. In general, equipment and retainers, as well as master cards that do not change controllers are all stuck on the vampire in contention, as she is considered out of the game. >Given: Black Cat is in contention. She has The Rack and a shotgun. >1: Can you steal the rack from her? The Rack is controlled by a Methuselah, not a vampire. It 'points' to a vampire and only changes its 'pointer' when the controller of the Rack changes. If a vampire leaves the game (by being burnt, for instance), the Rack sits there doing nobody any good until its controller changes. A vampire in contention is also out of the game, so the Rack sits there doing no good, but it is still a target for other Methuselahs to grab. >2: Can you equip someone else with her shotgun? No. It's stuck with her, out of the game. | If you've got a hot lead on a new | *--Joe--* | PC game, call the announce line at | js...@vt.edu | ** csi...@discus.ise.vt.edu ** | +-------------------------------------+---------------------------------- "Carnivores, oy!" -- Timon, TLK

She has The Rack and a shotgun. The Black Cat cannot have the rack. The Rack is a location. A methuselah *names* a ready vampire when the meth gains control of the Rack, but the Rack is not placed on the vamp. >1: Can you steal the rack from her? You can steal the rack from the methuselah, yes. >2: Can you equip someone else with her shotgun? No. All cards on Black Cat are out of play until the contest is resolved.
