In our last playing session, some questions arose: 1. May reaction cards be played on ANOTHER methusalah's minions? For example: may I wake a Vamp of my prey's prey so that he may avoid being ousted? or: may I give a Vamp of my prey's prey intercept with my intercept cards (for similar purposes?) This may be a great deal of boons lurking in the shadows, but also a measure of attack: If you play an intercept card which costs blood... 2. If Legacy of Caine is played on a minion, may this steal blood action be combined with hunting effects (for example: steal 2 blood with Aaron's Feeding Razor)? Card Text: "Put this card on a vampire with a capacity above 6 controlled by another Methuselah. When the vampire with this card hunts, he or she steals 1 blood from another vampire as a (D) action instead of performing the usual hunting action." (May be useful to copy Francois Villon's ability) -- Michael Beer, Dortmund, Germany, ICQ 1175389 -------------------------------------------- Life is founded on Chaos.

>1. May reaction cards be played on ANOTHER methusalah's minions? That's the most interesting question I've ever seen. Actually, I think it says specifically in the rules that you can't. --- Liam Burke "The Democrats can't pull it together if we rip them apart." -overheard

As reaction cards are essentially minion cards, and used by a special minion, you can't do so. Another metuselah's minions can't play cards from your hand. > 2.

No. > 2. If Legacy of Caine is played on a minion, may this steal blood action > be combined with hunting effects (for example: steal 2 blood with > Aaron's Feeding Razor)? No, but the Razor does give him one extra blood for the successful hunt. (i.e., he steals one and gains one from the blood bank). (*) Other hunting effects work similarly. (*) -- L.
