Camarilla Exemplary Question

I have a question about Camarilla Exemplary that has come up with my playing group. The text reads: "...any blocker will *have* to pay 1 blood to attempt to block this vampire..." Does this mean if a vampire has no blood they cannot block a vampire will a Camarilla Exemplary on them? And (more importantly) can a vampire have multiple Camarilla Exemplaries on them? And would this mean that a vampire with five Camarilla Exemplaries on them could only be blocked by a vampire with at least five blood?

No. It means that the empty vampire burns 1 blood when the block is attempted. Empty vampires ignore "burn blood" effects. > And (more importantly) can a vampire have multiple Camarilla Exemplaries on them?

No. A vampire with five Camarilla Exemplaries on him would cause any would-be blocker to burn 5 blood when the attempt to block is made. Any would-be blocker with less than 5 blood would simply burn all of his blood and ignore the "burn blood" amount in excess of his blood supply. -- L.

This is correct. Furthermore, the blood is paid regardless of whether the block is successful. : And (more importantly) can a vampire have multiple Camarilla Exemplaries on them? And would this : mean that a vampire with five Camarilla Exemplaries on them could only be blocked by a vampire : with at least five blood? I do not believe that they are cumulative. Multiple copies may be put on the same vampire, but paying one blood to attempt to block satisfies all of them. This is how we have played, though I'm sure I'll be corrected if I am wrong. -Dave Green
