Note that you cannot play damage prevention cards except during strike resolution, however, so your options for prevnting the damage are usualy limited. > Is Concealed Weapons skill-less at tournaments ?

Adding damage to a non-damage- dealing strike (like steal blood) has no effect. -- L. Scott Johnson (vte...@wizards.com) Official VtES Net.Rep for Wizards of the Coast.

But since the damage is not dealt in the normal way in the damage resolution phase, it is not prevented in the normal way. You can not play normal damage prevention cards. You can play Skin of Night to make the damage non-aggravated. A previously played Flesh of Marble would affect the damage. And an unused Flak Jacket could prevent the damage. > > Is Concealed Weapons skill-less at tournaments ? No. The card is the poster-child for wallpaper. > > Is the damage inflicted by Daring the Dawn superior preventable ? (which > would make it signifcantly inferior to Day Operation) > No it is not preventable. But I would like to say that it has some advantages. It can be used when you are at 0 blood. Dawn Op can not. It will burn your vampire but with Return to Innocence, that is not an issue. Certain vampires (Merril) and cards (Heart of Darkness) convert aggravated damage to normal damage and would apply. If you have set up such a situation, then you can abuse Daring the Dawn. And isn't that what makes this game fun, setting up useful combinations? > Has Rev. Blackwood got +1 damage with all th-strikes (even steal blood > etc.) ? No. The strike must deal damage in order to get the bonus. > > Thanks, Thomas > -- Life is Good thanks to God Quicksilver <michae...@lmco.com>

If you block a bum's rush (or an ambush) the resulting combat does not have a maneuver (you planned the maneuver for against Sheldon, Lord of the Clog, but now you're fighting Sebastian Marley it's a different kettle of fish and all). Ways around this - 1) stealth the rush (Protean - Earth Control, Obfuscate - all the cards (almost), Assorted bits and pieces from other disciplines) 2) rush when they're tapped out (and hope they can't wake) -- James Coupe (remove .nospam to reply by e-mail) If you find you are falling into madness - dive

Yeah, but I see a weakness in Bum's Rush (not much, if you just want to get into combat with the guy you are Rushing) if the Vampire you are rushing is untapped and just blocks to take away your maneuver. It's all just a little odd. -T!mmy "Ever seen a Malkavian Rush deck? Just hope you never do..."

A little odd, but consistent with the rules. Anyway, it can actually help you if you want that vamp tapped out for a huge bleed that you've got stored up in your hand and can afford a combat at close range. [ quoted text not captured ]

If your only means of proving you're a member of the Camarilla is by showing a piece of paper when people want to beat the crap out of you, I don't see why a vampire shouldn't just be able to 'forget' to have it on them. > Incriminating Videotape... Yeah, I see this one. You can't really convince someone "Oh, I honestly won't show this picture of you plotting with the Sabbat to the Prince" can you? LSJ? Help! [ quoted text not captured ]

TC's card text causes an effect "if the bearer is ready" - it isn't something that simply modifies the minion. (OK, I'm stretching for explanation here - that's what I have to work with). > And, there are some "permanent effect" pieces of equipment, which I'd say are > probably not optional, though it's unclear that they are "used": Writ of > Acceptance, Incriminating Videotape... Writ is optional, since it just modifies the minion. Videotape, I guess, is not optional, since it isn't modifying the minion (to be consistent with TC). (*) [ quoted text not captured ]
