Yes, Yes, No, No, No, and No. MVH: Yes. Any non-ranged inherent strike is considered a hand strike. Garou: Yes. same reasoning. Slashers: No. Ranged strikes are never considered hand strikes (unless hitherto non-existent card text says otherwise, of course). Mage: No. same reasoning. Lazarus: No. same reasoning. Ghoul Retainer: No. does not strike, so may not use any strike cards. -- ----- L.

Lucky blow increses hand damage only. It has been ruled that any non ranged damage inflicted by retainers is considered hand damage. ~Biomechanoid
