here is a question that was asked during our Montréal NAC Qualifier. we couldn't find an official answer. Vampire A (acting) is in combat with Vampire B (reacting). B maneuvers with a Saturday Night Special. A strikes with Soul Burn at superior. B strikes with the gun. Can B then play Dragon's Breath Rounds and Rotschreck? the question was asked because of Soul Burn's "the weapon does no damage" text. relevant card text follows. Name: Saturday-Night Special Cardtype: Equipment Cost: 1 pool Weapon, gun. 1R damage each strike, with an optional maneuver each combat. Name: Soul Burn Cardtype: Combat Cost: 1 blood Discipline: Thaumaturgy [tha] Strike: 1R damage. This damage cannot be prevented by cards that require Fortitude [for]. If the opposing vampire attempts to strike with a weapon this round, he or she does no damage. [THA] As above, but for 2R damage. Name: Dragon's Breath Rounds Cardtype: Combat Ammo. Only usable before resolution of a gun's strike. That gun inflicts +2 aggravated damage each strike for the remainder of this combat. Burn the gun after strike resolution. No more than 1 ammo card can be used on a gun each combat. Name: Rotschreck Cardtype: Master Master: out-of-turn. {Frenzy.} Put this card on a vampire when an opposing minion attempts to inflict aggravated damage on him or her, whether the damage would be successfully inflicted or not. Combat ends. This vampire is tapped and sent to torpor. This vampire does not untap as normal. During this vampire's next untap phase, burn this card. -- charles lechasseur - da...@novideospamtron.ca

Rotschreck resolves when played, which is before strike resolution. -- LSJ (vte...@white-wolf.com) V:TES Net.Rep for White Wolf, Inc.
