Mostly because its a card game. Realism is sometimes sacrificed for simplicity. Stating all of the different possibilities that each card presents would be a chore to do and a chore to keep track of.

[ quoted text not captured ] If it helps, you can look at it this way: The minions are occupied during the night protecting the vamps at home in their coffins, so they are not out and about disrupting other actions. _OR_ The minions would not be expecting any sane vamp to be wandering around in the sunlight trying to do something, when they know their gonna be hurt by it.(NO COMMENT as to those loony Malks. No one can predict the insane.) _OR_ Think of the Meth.'s turn as one day and one night, and the vamps and minions are acting at different times. Anyways, you probably get the point. Thr rules are for simplicity, and one comes up with reasons to provide plausability. Remy leb...@u.washington.edu | It's not my fault!

why can't non-vampire minons (i.e. allies) block a day operation do all minons sleep in the day??? why not allow any non-vampire minon to block a day operation where all damage sone to the offending vampire is aggrivated? dan edelman

What it means is that the acting vampire is taking terrible risks that no other vampire, sane or otherwise, would dare do...and as for a human, he'd not even imagine it feasible. That kind of risk and persistence long after the results of your folly have proven fatal is totally unstoppable, and unavailable to vampires without the toughness (mental as well as physical, at least in the card game) that Fortitude provides. :x :x M. le B.
