Last night while playing, we discovered we didn't all read the Sabbat
withdrawal rules in the same way.
Basically, the Sabbat rules say that a Methuselah with an incomplete hand
at the beginning of his turn, must withdraw. What we didn't agree on was, is
this withdrawal automatically successful, or is it subject to the same
restrictions as described in the Jyhad (and, I believe, V:TES) rulebook ?
I mean, suppose you have some pool left, and can hope to survive for a turn,
but not much more, and have the opportunity to exhaust your deck (the case
yesterday was a political deck with a Fragment of the Book of Nod :) ). Can
you rob your predator of a victory point by doing so ?

The Sabbat Withdrawal is automatic and instantaneous.

Yes. If you exhaust your library *and play a card* (you have to be at
less than your maximum hand size to withdraw), then you automatically
and instantly withdraw at the start of your next turn.
