Can Inner Circle members use cards that say "Requires [a ready] Prince or Justicar"? Since they weren't around when these original cards were printed, can it be assumed that 'Prince or Justicar' means 'Vampire with Camarilla Title at least at the Prince level'?

No. IC are neither Princes nor Justicars. > Since they weren't around when these original > cards were printed, can it be assumed that > 'Prince or Justicar' means 'Vampire with > Camarilla Title at least at the Prince level'? No. But see the erratum for Blood Hunt (the action card). -- LSJ (vte...@white-wolf.com) VTES Net.Rep for White Wolf, Inc.

No, they can't. The cards require exactly what they say - a Prince or Justicar. > Since they weren't around when these original > cards were printed, can it be assumed that > 'Prince or Justicar' means 'Vampire with > Camarilla Title at least at the Prince level'? This justification has been brought up before, and has some merit IMHO, but since there has never been any errata to that effect, it still does not work that way. -- Hardy Range hardy...@gmx.de

And if you REALLY want to use the Traditions, you can just add some Praxis Seizures: "Arika's sort of getting sick of all this IC b.s., so she's going to call a Praxis Seizure to make herself the Prince of Chicago." Even if the 4 votes you get from having an IC don't help get the vote passed (and don't forget the 1 from the vote card), I honestly doubt most people would vote against something that would cause you to lose 2 votes.

I would, almost 100% of the time; the only reason to Praxis yourself as an IC is to use the Traditions, and I can't see ANY way that an IC using those is good for me. =) Hell, I'd Eagle's Sight that action if I had it in hand and nobody else was going to.
