Seduction vs. Eagles sight

If an Acting vampire plays SEDUCTION on a vampire surely if that vampire has superior auspex he/she can use EAGLE SIGHT to regain the ability to block that acting vampire, 'course then the blocker has to come up with enough intercept, right? Dodger

[ quoted text not captured ] Nope. Eagle's sight only overcomes the restriction on which Meth's minions may block. It will not overcome other restriction on blocking. (i.e., Navar (with superior auspex) still couldn't block an older vampire, Seduced vampires may not block, an Incrimated vampire may not block a minion holding the Incrimiating Videotape, no one can block a Day Operation, no one may block a vampire with an Horrific Countenance, no member of the acting vampire's clan may block if the acting vampire invokes Clan Loyalty, etc.) -- L.

Unfortunately, Eagle's Sight is not quite that powerful. All eagle's sight really does is allow more people to block than just predator and prey --- it does not circumvent things that have been made "unblockable" by card text. Below is a snip from L. Scott Johnson's rules archive (search engine result, I highly recommend, and thanks a bunch to the head rulemonger!). -James ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Official Rulings Eagle's Sight - Reaction (au): Only affects the rule restricting who gets to block an action. The vampire must still meet all other requirements to block (intercept, etc.) In particular, Blood Bond, Day Operation, and Seduction are not circumvented. [RTR] Must be played during the 'choose blockers' stage. It may not be used after the action Methuselah asks for "all other blocking attempts". It may be used after your normal position on the choose blocker list (i.e., Prey - Predator - Prey w/ Eagle's sight). [TOM 960106]
