Last night, we were playing and a rules question came up that we couldn't find an answer
to. I'd appreciate it if anyone could help us out.
The situation- Renegade garou armed with Ivory Bow and a Hawg maneuvers to long, hits
vampire (causing aggravated damage) and sends the Kindred to torpor.
The Question - Can the garou use his additional strike once the vampire is in torpor to
do more aggro, possibly burning the vamp? Can he press once a vamp goes to torpor and
continue to pound the snot out of his lifeless body?
When the player tried this, everyone in the group said, "No, gangrel-boy, sending a vamp
to torpor ends combat." He disagreed, and challenged us to find it in the rule book.
Well, we were unable to find any definitive ruling, and we got into one of those classic
discussions about how "if he's lying there in torpor right at my feet, why CAN'T I chew
on his head?!" and so on.
If any of you rules gurus (not Garous!) can point me to an official ruling that supports
either argument, I'll consider it a major boon! Really, it was degenerating to the level
of "well when he goes to torpor, the Methuselah shows up, backs the garou down and
whisks him off to his haven" (!) Please help!!!
(BTW- has anyone else noticed that when disputing rules V:tES players refer to V:tM as
"the real world"?
As in: "in the REAL WORLD, Rotschreck would mean that just as you pulled the trigger on
your flamethrower, you realized that you had a backpack full of napalm. That freaked you
out so much, you went into torpor."
Am I the only one who finds that kinda weird? ;)
Drink Deeply,
