Question... Blythe is in combat with Zebulon. Second round begins, and Blythe plays Blood to water, before strikes are declared. No maneuvers were played. Can she now play pulled fangs, torporing or burning Zebulon before the strike phase? Answers from all appreciated.

Pulled Fangs is played during the "press" stage, after multiple strikes resolution. 2). No, she has yet to do any damage to him. Blood To Water simply causes the opponent to burn blood, it does not do damage. A subtle but important distinction. -Mark Langsdorf http://www.engr.trinity.edu/~mlangsdo/RPGs/Jyhad/

Also, even if a vampire dealt damage before strike resolution (by some currently unknown means), the official rule is that Pulled Fangs can only be played during the Press step, so "no" again. -- L.

Weather Control, on the other hand, would increase the total damage done, so a WC and a hand strike vs. just a hand strike would allow the Thaumaturge to play pulled fangs (though still in the press phase).

Of course, she could toss a Blood Rage on for the strike to get the desired effect, since B->H2O isn't a strike. J. Andrew Lipscomb <ew...@chattanooga.net, them...@delphi.com> PGP keys by request

Weather Control does unavoidable EQUAL damage, thereby failing to meet the requirement of Pulled Fangs (more damage at close range).

Weather Control does unavoidable EQUAL damage, thereby failing : to meet the requirement of Pulled Fangs (more damage at close range). I'd have to agree with Paste. If Vamp A plays WC, he still _deals_ more damage at close range than his opponent, Vamp B. The fact that they both end up taking two damage is irrelevant. Vamp B didn't _deal_ that second damage to A... Fruv -- "You can either take action, or you can hang back and hope for a miracle. Miracles are great, but they are so unpredictable. -- Peter Drucker

I suppose that if vamp A whacked vamp B with a Bastard Sword or a thrown gate (at close range), you'd say that the vamp didn't do that damage, either ("The sword dealt the damage, not vamp A")? Granted, damage from WC /shouldn't/ count (from a game world perpective), but from a card game mechanics perspective, that's very hard to justify. -- L.
