Decide for yourself. If you've got the Paralyze cards, then you've got a copy
of the Paralyze rules, so you could certainly use them if you wan them.

Good question :) We'll probobly use the newer wordings, as many of them are
simply the errata fixes we've had on paper for a while now.

There's still only one Dr. Jest, regardless of what his card looks like.

No. There are no offical card limits. The DC has recently published a list
of "Restricted" cards, which apply to their tournys. Everyone in this
newsgroup, at least, thinks they're a bunch of loonies.
Most all of VTES's cards are balanced enought to render card limits useless,
even damaging to the game. However, some cards need fixed to prevent abuses :
1) Things that untap vampires (ala majesty). A possible fix : make untapping
cards cost one extra blood. Another - say that a vampire can only do one of
a type of action (bleed, vote, etc) per turn, even if he manages to untap.
2) Votes (ala Kine Resources Contested). Two suggested fixes for this : only
let OTHER methusalah's play political action cards for votes; or only let
each methuslah play one such card per voting action.
It all boils down to what your group wants to play with. I think that the
above suggestions make for a great game, but try them out to see for yourself.
