Just recently, my jyhad group and I played a came where three of the members (out of five that day) played Tremere/Thaumaturgy decks. One member tryed to play a Vote Card that most of the Tremere voted against at first. One player, who had Astrid Thomas under his control decided that he wanted the vote to pass, thus forcing the other Tremere votes to vote "for" the vote. Then at the end, one of the other players decided to play a little Kindred Coersion to change some of the votes and was able to vote it down, after a bit of discussion. The question that arose was whether or not the Meth. playing the Coersion could just change Astrid's vote and thus change all the other Tremere votes or do the other Tremere stay the same. Secondly, could the reacting Meth. with the Kindred Coersion, change the votes of another Tremere to be against that of Astrid. Oh! Another question that we generally have, but have made a house rule to stop all of the arguing, is with Pulled fang. Two vampires enter combat, one with fortitude, and do three points of damage to each other. One vampire plays a Skin of Rock, preventing two of the damage. He then pulls out a pulled fang on the other vampire. We have decide that the vampire cannot play the pullled fang because they did the same amount of damage to each other, even though some of it was prevented. A vampire must DO more damage than another before a pulled fang is played. I just wanted to see if this jived with Jyhad(Vampire) Thanks Lou

It's a great combo, seeing as both Fortitude and Pulled Fangs are unfair :) Pulled Fangs is an ambiguous card, and so I have a few questions myself. How does it work in conjunction with Rotschecke?(sp?, another ambiguous card), and can Skin of Rock be used to prevent the aggravated damgae that Pulled Fangs inflicts? When can Pulle Fangs be played? Does it occur after damage prevention? Hope I helped, Jim

I'll have to put this on the list, but I would say that Astrid influences the other Tremere if and only if she actually casts votes. If her votes are canceled, or she is otherwise prohibited from voting, then her hold over the other Tremere ends. Also, there's no way to override her command over the other Tremere... the Coercion would not allow a Tremere to override Astrid. >Oh!

Pulled Fangs counts up how much damage was inflicted (read, not prevented), so preventing damage will affect who can or can't play Fangs.

However, when you state "If her votes are canceled,...then her hold over the other Tremere ends" are you saying that if one would cancel Astrid's vote (as per the minor effect of K. Coersion) then the other Tremere are free to change thier votes back after they have been influenced by Astrid? Or, does the rule of not being able to change one's votes after they have been cast still apply? Thank for your reply BigIgloo
