Situation: a Meth has the edge and a Sabbat Threat Counter. I know that the Meth can give up the edge at to get rid of the Sabbat Threat counter. What are the timing constraints on this? Can you give it up at *any* time? After a bleed has been declared against you? Before you declare your intention to block? The period of gray time when you know the bleed is successful but before you tell the bleeder that it will be (ie, I block. Ok, +1 stealth. Alright, +1 intercept. +1 stealth. Damn, no more intercept. I give up the edge to get rid of the counter. Ok, you bled me.) Sorrow -- I don't want to be alone | I hurt, therefore I am anymore |-------------------------------- I don't want to be anyone | "What are you looking at...? anymore | you never seen anyone try to I don't need a reason to kill myself | commit suicide before?" - Anon ------------------------------------------------------------------------

As there are no restrictions on doing so either on the card or in the rule book, you can give it up at any time, I'd say. We allow it, at least.
