If I make Anneke Achingly Beautiful and then manage to make her an Archon
also, does the Methusela of a blocking minion loose 2 pool or just 1?
There doesn't seem to be anything preventing them from being cumulative,
but I forsee complaints about this so I thought I'd check.
Normally I would put them on different vamps, but I'm trying a "Damned if
you do/Damned if you don't" strategy with Aching Beauties, Archons, and
Camarilla Exemplaries. It seems to work well so far.

Two. Being a Beautiful Archon is quite a combo.

TTBOMK, Archon and Aching Beauty have been ruled as cumulative.

It's 2. Also, 2 achings or 2 Archons will have the same effect.

Definitely a good strategy for the Toreadors. It can fix the "no stealth"
problem.
With that much "ouchie" from blocking, I'd recommend going with the avoid
combat strategy (dodge/flash/majesty) - you always need some combat when
you can be blocked, and avoid takes fewer cards.
Humorous use - I had Dorian Strack (Exemplary & Pulsed) and Dancing Dana
(Archon). Dorian went in for a bleed, and my prey blocked with Guiliano
(2 blood), paying 1 blood for the attempt. Dana then played Mask of 1000
Faces - and no stealth - so then he lost another pool when the block
succeeded. Finally, since Dana is 2 hand, the now 1 point Guiliano went
to torpor in combat.

I have a lot of fun with Change of Target in this deck. I bleed you, you
attempt to block and lose a pool or two, I change my mind and call a
vote.

Each card on the vampire produces its own effect. The only time
things aren't cumulative is when a) it is an effect that changes an
existing rule (such as Rumors of Gehenna) or b) when the card
specifically states that it is not cumulative (such as Army of Rats with
the erratum applied to it).
Thus, an Aching Beauty and an Archon on a vampire would cause
the blocking Methuselah to lose 2 pool. Add a Camarilla Exemplary, and
you've got a vampire nobody will want to stop...

Another nice Arcon combo is with Lucien. Suddenly he starts attacking vamps
who have equipment!

Aching Beauty and Archon cost 1 pool from the methuselah to
block. Camarilla Exemplary costs the blocking vampire 1 blood to block.

Peace Mark,
I don't have Archon memorized, but I /know/ that Aching Beauty causes the
owner of the blocking minion to lose one pool.

Both affect the Methuseleh controlling the blockers. Camarilla exmplary
affects the blocker itself.

There is no pool in a vampire. Only metuselahs have pool. A vampire
loses blood (or suffers damage) and a metuselah loses pool.
