Stanislawa's ability question

This came up in our pub game last night which had 13 players present. Garry was bleeding John Keech, and John blocked a stealthy action [taken by Stanislawa] using a vampire who had Raven Spy on him. Stanislava [DS] Cardtype: Vampire Clan: Gangrel Capacity: 11 Discipline: ANI FOR PRO CEL DOM Inner Circle: (4 votes) Retainers employed by a minion opposing Stanislava lose their abilities until the end of combat; allies cannot block Stanislava. +2 bleed. Does this mean that retainers cannot give intercept against actions taken by Stanislawa? Or just that retainers cannot help their owners when their owners are in combat against Stanislawa?

[ quoted text not captured ] The latter. A minion is not "opposing" unless it is in combat. "Stanislava" isn't spelled with a 'w', BTW. -- LSJ (vte...@white-wolf.com) VTES Net.Rep for White Wolf, Inc.

So if she takes a + 1 stealth action and is blocked by a Raven Spy'ed minion, she can't play Form Of Mist (sup) since 1 > 0. Halcyan 2
