-> 3) In the basic rules, a vampire is burned only if you steal more
-> blood than it has.
I assume you meant, "stealing blood only burns a vampire if you steal
more blood than it has." The above sorta implies that stealing blood is
the _only_ way to burn a vamp in basic rules (i.e. punching him won't).
-> 5) If a vampire blocks an Archon, he or she burns 1 blood regardless
-> of which action the Archon was taking. (The use of the semi-colon in
-> the V:TES text implies that the point of blood is burned only when
-> the Archon is using his or her rush ability.)
Archon costs the Methuselah pool, not blood from the vamp.

Hold on, does this hold true in the advanced rules too? In Jyhad,
stealing blood couldn't send a vampire to torpor so I assume it couldn't
burn one either. Has this been changed for V:TES, or is this just a
simplification in the basic rules? (I thought the basic rules had steal
blood treated as a normal strike)
Has there ever been released a list of changes between Jyhad and V:TES?
I really have no desire to read the V:TES rulebook to find all the little
changes.

Peace Chad,
No, it does not. In the full rules, stealing blood cannot torporize or burn
a vampire. Yes, it is a silly simplification of the crippled rules.

I am interested in the answer to this also. Stealing Blood can burn a
vamp in the VTES basic rules, but this question is not addressed
(in fact stealing blood is barely even mentioned) in the
advanced rules, which (to me) implies that stealing blood can send a vamp
to torpor. What's the real scoop on this? Tom? It's already come up in
one game...
