Something that came up a week or so ago, and I forgot to post about. I'm
thinking now that I made a mistaken judgement at the time, but I want to make
sure, as a tournament (that Mark announced) is coming up.
Undead Persistence vs. Disarm
Vampire A is going to torpor due to damage received. Plays Undead
Persistence.
Vampire B, frustrated that the huge strike didn't send Vampire A to torpor
decides to Disarm Vampire A.
What happens? My judgement at the time was that since Disarm reads "send to
torpor" and it was played after, it was effective. However, looking at the
rulings, etc. "Undead Persistence will protect the vampire from torpor (but
not from being burnt) for the duration of its effect (until end of combat or
three rounds with no cards). This is errata to the Sabbat version. [RTR
19991206]"
So...I'm guessing that Disarm does nothing further...though it would prevent
Vampire A (in the absence of Potence strikes/Lucky Blow) from doing any
further hand damage...resulting in pretty much the same net effect, assuming
only hand strikes/S:CE was going to be played for the rest of the combat.
