I'm not sure I understand the usage of the Master: out-of-turn card Contingency Planning correctly. As I see it, I can try to bleed my prey with one of my minions. If my prey then tries to block, with one of her minions and is successfull, I can play Contingency Planning and burn the blocking minion, as it changed the target of the bleed. Then one of us gets the blood or pool burned for that card from the bloodbank?!? Would anyone please explain this card to me in plain language? Thanks, Peter.

[ quoted text not captured ] Name: Contingency Planning [FN] Cardtype: Master Cost: 1 pool Master: out-of-turn. Only usable when a minion you control is bleeding. You may play this card during your turn. Burn a minion card that would change the target of the bleed as it is played. Any blood or pool burned for that card is retrieved from the blood bank by the vampire or Methuselah who played it. If more than 1 pool is bled in this action, ignore the excess. The cost of the card that changed the target of the bleed is retrieved by the Methuselah who played it. Meth 1's Minion A bleeds. Meth 2's Minion B playes Deflection. Meth 1 plays Contigency Planning. Meth 2's Minion B gets back the cost of the Deflection. When the bleed resolves ( regardless of target ) only one pool is bled ( regardless of the bleed amount ) if unblocked.

[ quoted text not captured ] Correct. Blocking doesn't change the target of the action. -- LSJ (vte...@white-wolf.com) V:TES Net.Rep for White Wolf, Inc. Links to revised rulebook, rulings, errata, and tournament rules: http://www.white-wolf.com/vtes/
