Hi ! i want to ask some simple stuff. 1-Somehow, i need to have a vampire burned sooner or later (he has a fame on him) i call a domain challenge with the said vamp, and during the resulting referendum, i replace my awe (i emptiedmy vamp) with a with a daring the dawn. Can i play the daring the dawn after the referendum, just in the time windows before a freak drive to effectively burn my vampire ? :) 2-I am player A. I have a rotschreck in hand. I know player C has a Rotschreck and wants to play it on B's next action. B then acts with a vampire equipped with ivory bow and C blocks. B declares a strike with Ivory, can i immediatly play my rotschreck even before C has the opportunity to declare his strike ? thank you :)

Is it stated in the rulebook? No. It's implicit, like strike modifiers being played before strike resolution. -- [ quoted text not captured ]

Hmm.. I would say that too. BUT, section 6.2 of the rulebook states that: "Action modifiers and reaction cards can be played at any time during an action (unless otherwise noted on card text)...." The above to me feels like action modifiers can be played anytime unless restricted by cardtext. Does "Vampires cannot block this action" mean that as soon as we have passed the block/no block part of an action, one can no longer play Daring the Dawn simply because there is no need to block?

I guess the "as appropriate" is considered implict by the rules writer. http://groups-beta.google.com/group/rec.games.trading-cards.jyhad/msg/faabd8e956676f04 > Does "Vampires cannot block this action" mean that as soon as we have > passed the block/no block part of an action, one can no longer play > Daring the Dawn simply because there is no need to block? Yes. Actually "action modifier" means that once the action is resolved, one can no longer modify it in the usual sense, like strike modifiers and strike resolution (although effects like Freak Drive and Twisting the Knife -- is it permissible to use those two together in the same sentence? -- are clearly still applicable).

We had a game on saturday where the following scenario happened. while player A (me) was acting with valerius major player B blocked with meshenka player C had an erciyes fragment in play, untapped. combat ensued. I maneuvered to long with valerius, with theft of vitae in mind Player C told me "i have a rotschreck and it is my interest to see meshenka in torpor" so i played a conflagration, and player B played a Breath of the dragon. Player C tapped his fragment to fetch a rotschreck from B's ash heap and played it on meshenka. The card was put on him as usual. Meshenka then played telepathic tracking. Combat did not end. Then Meshenka's methuselah played a Rotschreck to send Valerius to torpor (guessing i play ignore the searing flame) is this sequence correct ? as i think it now, the second Rot should not have been played...

LSJ: Reyda, You're sending your messages as "quoted-printable", which is messing up the angle-bracket quoting of my follow-ups. Can you set your news reader to post in plain text? Reyda: so it is in fact impossible to have two rotschreck played in the same combat? LSJ: Correct. Reyda: We had a game on saturday where the following scenario happened. while player A (me) was acting with valerius major player B blocked with meshenka player C had an erciyes fragment in play, untapped. combat ensued. I maneuvered to long with valerius, with theft of vitae in mind Player C told me "i have a rotschreck and it is my interest to see meshenka in torpor" so i played a conflagration, and player B played a Breath of the dragon. Player C tapped his fragment to fetch a rotschreck from B's ash heap and played it on meshenka. The card was put on him as usual. Meshenka then played telepathic tracking. Combat did not end. Then Meshenka's methuselah played a Rotschreck to send Valerius to torpor (guessing i play ignore the searing flame) is this sequence correct ? as i think it now, the second Rot should not have been played... LSJ: The second Rotschreck needs a source of agg damage. After the TT, the strikes from the aborted first round are no longer around to threaten anyone. Meshenka will have to again attempt to inflict agg damage in this new round in order for Rotschreck to be played. -- [ quoted text not captured ]

If one party plays Telepathic Tracking, for example, to continue a combat that is being ended by Rötschreck, then another Rötschreck can still be played in that combat later on if another legal attempt to inflict aggravated damage as a strike is made. It is not possible, though, to send both vampires in combat into torpor with Rötschrecks, as the first one ends combat, ending the time window where another one could be played. > We had a game on saturday where the following scenario happened. > > while player A (me) was acting with valerius major > player B blocked with meshenka > player C had an erciyes fragment in play, untapped. > > combat ensued. > I maneuvered to long with valerius, with theft of vitae in mind > > Player C told me "i have a rotschreck and it is my interest to see > meshenka in torpor" > > so i played a conflagration, and player B played a Breath of the dragon. > > Player C tapped his fragment to fetch a rotschreck from B's ash heap and > played it on meshenka.

Indeed. At least, for that particular strike. Rötschreck ends combat, and Telepathic Tracking starts a new round. Any attempts to inflict aggravated damage in previous rounds (including the round that was ended by the previous Rötschreck) no longer present an opportunity to play Rötschreck. -- Bye, Daneel
