Another Sabbat question for Jon

Another Sabbat question--- Combat, Fleshcraft states "Strike: 1 damage. Put this card on the opposing minion. The minion with this card has -1 stealth. He or she may burn this card as a +1 stealth action." Isn't the -1 stealth applied to the +1 stealth action to bring the action to burn down to no stealth? -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- pheersum inhabits the mortal shell of eric schultheis. one channels mailto://phee...@sb.net. pheersum manifests at http://www.sb.net/pheersum/Pheerpage.htm . nature says,"go ahead, have as many babies as you want. something will eat them." ---------------------------------------------------------------------

Yeah, I saw this one and thought it made no sense as well.

Well, if they had said "a 0 stealth action", you would have been wondering whether the -1 stealth applies to it... The minion has -1 stealth on all actions, including the +1 stealth action to burn. So, yes, when attempting that action, they have base 0 stealth.

However, this is the normal way that stealth is phrased; if the card stated that the action to burn it was at no stealth, then it would actually be at -1 stealth(or -2 at superior) because of the "this minion has -1 stealth" clause. So in effect, the action is at no stealth, but it isn't necessarily at negative stealth, so that keeping it unblocked against the Tzimisce wouldn't become even more impossible than it already is. >Yeah, I saw this one and thought it made no sense as well. Does the above make any more sense? If not, just ask me or someone else to clarify. Alec Chang
