Question on TB came up over the weekend. The new text of TB says,
"Opposing minion cannot play any strike cards for the duration of this
combat". Does this prevent the playing of additional strikes (Blur,
Pursuit, etc.) or just cards containing "Strike:X"?
Thanks,
Dan

Additional strike effects are not affected.
Only strike cards are restricted.

He can't play strike -cards- with those additionals.
But he could certainly have played Torn Signpost earlier, and a Blur
now, and swat you for 9 total... since those aren't strike cards.

but he cannot strike with those additionals no??, or he can use his
hand or equipment that has on him??, it can play strikes for his hand
only or can't strike at all??
by the way, with fast reaction that says he can strike in the first
round, he cant strike at all or as above use equipment or his hand?,
he prevents from using strike cards from his hand but can use other
cards from hand??
bye!!!

Right now, there are two different scenarios:
Thoughts Betrayed prevents the playing of strike cards.
Alternatively, Hidden Lurker and Fast Reaction prevent the opponent from using
any strikes altogether.
In both situations, the opposing vampire may play cards to grant them
additional strikes.
With Thoughts Betrayed, you cannot play any strike cards but you can still
strike with hands, strike with weapons, strike with any special abilities you
have, etc. If you get additional strikes, those additional strikes must adhere
to the same limitation.
With Fast Reaction or Hidden Lurker, you can't play or use strikes period. Not
only can you not play cards, you also can't use equipment, or even strike with
hands (I guess you're too surprised to do anything). And while you can also
gain additional strikes, you can't actually strike with the additionals.
Hope that helps!

He cannot play strike cards (card text).
He is not prohibited from striking, though.

> only or can't strike at all??
He can strike, since there's nothing to indicate that he cannot.
He can use weapons, since there's nothing to indicate that he cannot.

Fast reaction says he cannot use any strikes, so he can't use any
strikes. Since hand strike is a strike, he cannot use that. Since
weapon strikes are strikes, he cannot use those.

I'm always surprised when someone plays Fast Reactions. :)
