What equipment is worth Blood Tempering? + rules question

What does a person use Blood Tempering on? Nightstick? Is strike: strength +2 / strike: prevent 4 once per round worth 2 actions, 1 pool and 1 blood? Kevlar Vest? Bundi? *** Now, suppose Scout Youngwood, who has a Blood Tempered Leather Jacket, is in combat with Marcia Felicia Licinia. Marcia plays Carrion Crows and strikes with Blood Fury. Scout chooses to burn her Leather Jacket to prevent the damage from Blood Fury. Can she use her Blood Tempering bonus to prevent one damage from the Carrion Crows? Leather Jacket Equipment. If the action to equip with the Leather Jacket is successful, untap the acting minion at the end of the turn. Bearer may burn Leather Jacket to prevent all the damage from the opposing minion's strike. A minion may have only one Leather Jacket. Blood Tempering +1 stealth action. (for)(qui): Put this card on an equipment. This melee weapon inflicts an additional damage each strike. When this equipment prevents damage in combat, it can prevent an additional point. An equipment can have only one Blood Tempering (FOR)(QUI): As above, and untap this acting vampire

The real question is why you didn't have anything better to do than acquire a Leather Jacket and take a second action to be able to prevent that one damage on a minion with superior presence would should have used Majesty or Catatonic Fear/Target Vitals. >Leather Jacket >Bearer may burn Leather Jacket to prevent all the damage from the opposing minion's strike. >Blood Tempering [ quoted text not captured ]

[ quoted text not captured ] I have to say that is pretty solid

[ quoted text not captured ] Tariq's Talbot's Chainsaw!

[ quoted text not captured ] ...except for the fact that Talbot's Chainsaw is not a melee weapon

Strike: strength damage. ***If more than 1 damage is inflicted on an opposing vampire by this weapon in a given combat, that vampire is sent to torpor.*** In that case, this card is transferred to that vampire, and he or she doesn't untap as normal during the untap phase as long as he or she remains in torpor. > Blood Tempering > +1 stealth action. > (for)(qui): Put this card on an equipment.

Bundi? if you need the nightstick to prevent more than 3 damage from a hand strike, there's a good chance you're already being grappled :( a Blood Tempered Blood Shield would be a pretty good payoff: prevent 2 from strikes every round! time to put Fortitude masters on Massassi? I already had a deck that coincidentally used Mukhtar Bey and Flak Jackets. Since he can play the card at superior, I added one in just for fun. even though he already has FOR, I can put it on supporting minions' equipment when they don't have any fortitude to protect themselves. for melee weapons, it doesn't seem as fun. Wooden Stake to always do 2 dmg? Kerrie? Sword of Nuln to knock 4 blood off? though for all these you might as well use lucky blow... or even better, target vitals. simply put, it's a permanent Lucky Blow or permanent Glancing Blow. I think I prefer the latter.

[ quoted text not captured ] Who needs Blood Tempering, when you can play Strike at the True Flesh. which counters any prevent that isn't EQ or strike based.

All plus one, which isn't really much more useful than all. [ quoted text not captured ]

[ quoted text not captured ] Al muntathir loves summoing up a blood tempered sword of nuln to go with his blood tempered blood shield....... On a slightly more serious note, with the amount of WWS i see around here, bundi is becoming more and more my card of choice for etempering. prevent both from WWS, and then hit for 3? sounds good. especially as you do not care about grapples, and satTF loves bundi

You would earn style points for being a perfectionist, though... :) -- Regards, Daneel
