Christine gets a skill card and the Blessing of Chaos, and remains untapped for the rest of the game. Her only words are "I ATTEMPT TO BLOCK!", preferably nothing but 1-stealth or greater actions taken by predator or prey. She doesn't have to SUCCESSFULLY block, she just has to attempt to block. Since she gets -1 intercept against any minion attempting to bleed, you have a pretty handy defense against Dominate bleed and Presence vote... all without ever tapping a minion. Not so much Presence bleed since those tend to come in the form of action -cards-. Prayer combo because it requires three things to show up early on: a specific vampire, a skill card, and the Blessing itself. =) -- Derek "Oh, cool... TABLE ACTIONS!" -- M. Perlman

Although, come to think of it, you could get much the same effect with Eternale Vigilance/Blessing of Chaos. *ponders* Things that make you go hmm...

[ quoted text not captured ] The acting minion, faced with the prospect of Christine spuriously attempting to block could, of course, play the dominate bleed modifiers before the block attempt is solicited. But this would work against presence vote enhancement (which cannot be played until the action is successful). -- LSJ (vte...@white-wolf.com) VTES Net.Rep for White Wolf, Inc.
