Protected Resources -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- "...another methuselah cannot bleed you for more than 2 pool..." I guess this limit holds per action, nor for the whole turn, right ? What happens if an action will result in a bleed of more than 2 ? Is it illegal to declare the action, or play the modifier that raise the bleed ? Does the action fail ? Or is the bleed reduced to 2 whatever is played before ? Powerbase Chicago and Washington -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Am I obliged to put blood on the card if there are none on ? == Herve Guillemet Intuisys / Inserm U66

Does the action fail ? Or is the bleed reduced to 2 whatever >is played before ? The limit is per action, yes. A bleed of >2 simply causes the target Meth. to burn 2 pool (the limit under Protected Resources). The bleed itself may be for any amount, and may be increased arbitrarily. The resulting pool loss is what is limited by PR. The bleed is not reduced (by official ruling - not obvious from card text), but rather just the pool loss. This helps keep card interactions (Archon Investigation, Telepathic Counter) simple. >Powerbase Chicago and Washington >-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= >Am I obliged to put blood on the card if there are none on ? No. Just as you are not obliged to use any location (Backways, KRCG, Chantry, etc.) -- L.
