Psychomania question [LSJ]

Hi, Here the situation: Vamp A have 1 blood on him. Vamp A play a Forced Awekening and block Vamp B. Vamp B play Psychomania superior... Does Vamp A burn 1 blood for the fail block and go to torpor from the 1 damage of Psychomania? Thanks! Nicolas Savard Domain Saguenay

Psychomachia can only be played if the block is successful, so FA's non-blocking penalty won't be applied. -- LSJ (vte...@white-wolf.com) V:TES Net.Rep for White Wolf, Inc.

[ quoted text not captured ] No, it isn't. Maybe you don't have the latest version?

Is there any wiggle room in the timing between when the block is initially declared successful and when Psychomachia is played to order any other effects that may occur due to a successful block? For example, must the blocking minion tap? Must Millicent Smith activate? Or is it up to the acting player's discretion? Marc G.

Maybe you don't have the latest version? I downloaded the latest just the other day from the yahoo group. It tells me that it is "only usable when an ally or younger vampire is attempting to block". It should say something about a *successful* block.

There is no file version there labeled "just the other day". I recommend the version on the group labeled 8/28. Carpe noctem. Lasombra http://groups.yahoo.com/group/eldb3/

[ quoted text not captured ] Psychomachia is played before the blocking minion is tapped for the successful block. Millicent would activate before Psychomachia (or Change of Target or Obedience or whatever) could be played. [ quoted text not captured ]
