short term investment question

if i have two short term investments out can i take two pool off (one from each) during my master phase (i don't have anson out and no one has played rumors of gehenna)? or does the removing of one pool from a short term investment (or long term, for that matter) count as my master phase action? --V--V-- "some people think the wheel is the greatest human invention but they're wrong: it's the slurpee straw" deep thoughts by simulacrum

From card text: Short Term Investment Master 1 pool Put 3 blood on this card from the blood bank. Instead of playing a master card each turn, you can take 1 blood from the Short Term Investment and add it to your blood pool. Burn this card when all blood has been removed. The key is "instead of playing a master card each turn, you can take 1 blood...". Removing 1 blood from a Short Term investment burns one master phase action. If you only have one, you can only suck off from one of them. This is as opposed to cards that state things to the effect of "during your master phase", like Blood Dolls. Feel free to ignore my take on this and wait for a rulesmonger to answer. -spongy

It counts as your master pahse action. The VtES wording is supposed to have cleared this up explicitly, but (of course) *I* haven't seen the wording. -- L.

In article <4ll4g2$4...@redwood.cs.sc.edu>, sjoh...@math.scarolina.edu says... >It counts as your master pahse action.

The V:tES version allows you to spend a master phase action to take one blood from the Investment into your pool. -ru
