Mask of 1K Faces Question

Is this legal: Beast rushes someon with his ability, then another vampire picks the fight with Mask. Beast rushes again, and another vamp picks it. Beast rushes again... Is that against NRA? -- for more info msaari finger msa...@tukki.jyu.fi @jyu.fi "if in doubt, stab Austria" 291

Beast rushes > again... > > Is that against NRA? It isn't a violation of NRA - NRA only "kicks in" on the acting minion when the action resolves. If the action is masked, only the final acting minion becomes incapable of performing the action again in the current turn. However, it is illegal to Mask a special ability action, like Beast's built-in rush, since no other minion is capable of initiating that action for themselves. -- LSJ (vte...@wizards.com) V:TES Net.Rep for Wizards of the Coast.

Hmm... Wynn, or Ebanezer Roush, or Roxanne Mask Beast's built-in rush? (Assuming, for Ebanezer and Roxanne, that the target is 3-cap or less.) Fish Flowers.

[ quoted text not captured ] No. Those are all different 'rush' actions. Special ability actions are not maskable. [ quoted text not captured ]

No other vamp can assume such an action through Moa1KF, as they couldn't take it on their own. Regards, R. David Zopf Atom Weaver (& V:EKN Prince of Charlotte, NC)

No one can assume another's unique rush. Think if it as if the specials were the titles to cards only that particular vamp could play, ie: Action: Beast's Rush Ability Action: Ebanezer's Rush Ability Action: Roxanne's Rush Ability Action: Wynn's Rush Ability [ quoted text not captured ]

None of those vampires can initiate the other vampire's action - each action is slightly different to each other anyway. -- James Coupe (Prince of Mercia, England) Vampire: Elder Kindred Network http://madnessnetwork.hexagon.net http://www.obeah.demon.co.uk
