[LSJ] Rule Questions

I believe that most of the cards/rules need no clarification, but because some ppl of my playgroup insist on some matters, i'd appreciate a short answer to each of the following questions.(i state what i believe, tell me if i am wrong) 1. You cannot play a 2nd mirror image to continue the same action 2. minion A bleeds, minion B says block, minion A plays supperior faceless night, minion B does not block but has the chance to play Telepathic Misdirection before tapping from supperior Faceless Night. (that is because faceless night indicates that the minion taps when the action is resolved, before resolving the action. Denying to block any further doesn't mean that the action has resolved.) 3. can Rotschreck be played on me if i am immune to aggra damage ? i believe the answer is yes, correct ? 4. Minion A bleeds, minion B wakes and plays telepathic misdirection, minion C sends the bleed back, minion B blocks without having to play a 2nd wake. 5. Can you play a forced awakening with a torporous vampire, just to get rid of it ? (don't laugh, it has cost me a whole game not knowing if i can, i think i can't but i am not sure) 6. can i play amaranth on a minion that plays ashes to ashes ? is he sent to torpor ending combat ? or combat ends and then the minion goes to torpor, like rotschreck ? i believe i can play amaranth. 7. Baltimore Purge triggers during my untap even if the vampire having it is already in torpor. 8. I have a 5-cap vampire with 2 master disciplines on him making him a 7-cap. if he gets banished, while uncontrolled he is considered 5-cap (because the 2 master disciplines are considered out of play) and he just needs to have 5 blood to move to the ready region again. 9. can i prevent blood fury damage by spending ablative counters from Ablative Skin ? i believe no.

Mirror Image is only an action modifier when used for stealth. You may use the combat ability as many times as it is required to get the action thru and you have requisite blood.

Minion A bleeds, minion B wakes and plays telepathic misdirection, >minion C sends the bleed back, minion B blocks without having to play >a 2nd wake. Correct. Wake with Evening's Freshness and Forced Awakening last for the entire action, by card text. LSJ 2003-09-17 http://groups.google.com/groups?selm=3F68FD22.5080604%40white-wolf.com >5. Can you play a forced awakening with a torporous vampire, just to >get rid of it ? (don't laugh, it has cost me a whole game not knowing >if i can, i think i can't but i am not sure) No. Reaction cards must be played by ready minions unless card text specifically over-rides this rule. 1.6.3.5 Definition of Reaction Cards http://www.white-wolf.com/vtes/rulebook/ >6. can i play amaranth on a minion that plays ashes to ashes ? Yes. "goes to torpor" LSJ 2001-12-14 http://groups.google.com/groups?selm=3C1A45C6.FEF4BC84%40white-wolf.com >is he sent to torpor ending combat ? At which point you play Amaranth, this is the exact same time that you would play Amaranth in all situations that did not involve Ashes to Ashes. >7. Baltimore Purge triggers during my untap even if the vampire having >it is already in torpor. Correct. Card text does not require the vampire to be anywhere aside from "in play".
