No. "During X, Do Y" allows only 1 Y each X. -- LSJ (vte...@white-wolf.com) V:TES Net.Rep for White Wolf, Inc.

> No. > "During X, Do Y" allows only 1 Y each X. Huitzilopochtli : During your master phase you may pay a pool to gain a master phase action ... Limited to 1. Maris Streck : Maris can burn a blood to give a blocking minion +1 intercept. No "During" so it is not limited to 1 ? Is this a general rule ? Hmm, there come other questions to my mind : - Can you force the intercept on a minion ? Example: Player A calls a Vote at +3 stealth and Player B plays a 2nd Tradition to be untapped but fails to block. Can you (Player C) burn a blood on Maris to force Player B愀 minion to block ? - Why does it say "a blocking minion" ? Shouldn愒 it be "a minion attempting to block" ? If he/she "is blocking" that implies that the block is somehow successfull. But my English is not too good i might be wrong on this one. -- johannes walch v:ekn germany - http://www.vekn.de johanne...@vekn.de

Isn't "a minion attempting to block" and "a blocking minion" the same thing, just used different words?

[ quoted text not captured ] No! It is not the same. If someone is attempting, he may not block at all, while a blocking minion refers to an actual block. -- Andreas Nusser www.vekn.de a.nu...@vekn.de

It is not the same. If someone is attempting, he may not block not true. Elses Maris streck's special would never function if the action you try to block starts at +1 stealth... A blocking minion is a minion attempting to block. Remember you can always use cards to make the block fail like psychomachia or eleder impersonation.

[ quoted text not captured ] Well, maybe my English isn´t that good but attempting means "trying to" while blocking means in this "already blocked" but can still be modified with a block fail or something similar. #The sentence you cut was actually refering to this "attempting" term. ..., he may not be able to block (by means of intercept)but still try to block. While blocking means already blocked (by intercept means) [ quoted text not captured ]

You can add the intercept to a blocking minion who doesn't want it to help the block succeed, yes. > - Why does it say "a blocking minion" ? Shouldn愒 it be "a minion attempting > to block" ?

A minion attempting to block is a "blocking minion" for this usage. See section 6.2.2.2 [ quoted text not captured ]
