Question on card placement (LSJ)

When a vampire recieves some speical ability via a card (like a title from a Praxis Seisure) does the card go on the vampire to remind everyone that this Vampire now possesses that ability? I, and most everyone I know, have always played that way, but we have a player in our playgroup who insists that these cards do not say place on the vampire so they go to the ash heap instead. This gets confusing when adding lots of titles on vampires. What is the ruling on this issue? Gene

This *could* be important for Whispers of the Dead, Carlotta and Imogen. However, if you are not using these cards I, if judging, would have no problem with you noting down their title status on a piece of paper and slipping it under the card to note it or, instead, just leaving the card there. -- James Coupe | PGP Key 0x5D623D5D | ja...@zephyr.org.uk (New e-mail) "Who'd have ever predicted the moment would come when I find myself grateful they've kept women dumb?

It's also important in that since there's no card (technically speaking) to play on the vampire, there can be no "controller" of the card so therefore there can be no issues if the any particular player was ousted from the game.

Correct, and good judging, IMO. -- LSJ (vte...@white-wolf.com) V:TES Net.Rep for White Wolf, Inc. Links to revised rulebook, rulings, errata, and tournament rules: http://www.white-wolf.com/vtes/
