Theft of Vitae vs Allies

There is current errata that Allies ignore "burn blood" effects entirely.

No. From the revised rules, section 6.4.5 Strike Effects: "Steal Blood. This effect moves blood counters (or life counters) from the target to the striking minion." -- Justin Fang (jus...@ugcs.caltech.edu) This space intentionally left blank.

Well it's a gimmie to just what they are using for life. Werewolf or not, it's gotta bleed. Now mummies and such.. i just don't know about that. I'd say it works. But that's just me, simplifying things..
