Paralysis

Does it still mean tapped in torpor and doesn't untap as normal? Is it still free to rescue a paralyzed vamp? What about untapping when out of torpor? Does it occur as normal? Thanks in advance for the answers.

Its meaning was not changed prior to being dropped, however. -- LSJ (vte...@white-wolf.com) V:TES Net.Rep for White Wolf, Inc.

In article <B%wM6.6269$ki5....@vixen.cso.uiuc.edu>, [ quoted text not captured ] Paralyze no longer exists as a concept in V:tES, and all cards referring to it are banned in tournament play. Note, however, that as a practical matter this means only Rowan Ring, as Stake uses the text for Wooden Stake (Sabbat): "Melee Weapon. Strength damage each strike. If more than 1 damage is inflicted on an opposing vampire by this weapon in a given combat, then that vampire is sent into 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." As a house rule, you could use Rowan Ring with a modified version of the same text: "Unique Weapon. If at close range, bearer may strike to send the opposing vampire into 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." gomi -- Individually, I love you all with affection unspeakable; but, collectively, I look upon you with a disgust that amounts to absolute detestation. - Gilbert and Sullivan, 'Pirates of Penzance'
