Ok, if you have a minion with first strike (ie. Muddled Vampire Hunter) that
hits a vampire with enough damage to send the vampire to Tourpor but that
vampire has prevent damage cards that will keep him out of tourpor can they
be played and if so can he strike back?

Of course and of course.

That's a good question. However, damage prevention cards are played during
the "Resolve Strike" sub-phase, so the "Choose Strike" phase must already
be completed. If the VH strikes hard enough for the vampire to go into
torpor, then the vamp goes without striking. Since the damage prevention
at this point is only to keep the vampire out of torpor, no, he wouldn't
get a strike this round.

Ummm damage prevention means that it prevents damage, ie the damage never
actually hits. So the vamp would _not_ goto torpor and would still be able to
strike. This also fits into the first strike scheme, b/c first strikes are
_resolved_ before normal strikes, and thus you can prevent damage for them and
never even think about hitting torpor.

Hold on a sec . . . Choose Strike and Resolve Strike are *separate*
phases. First strike affects the Resolve Strike phase, not the Choose
Strike phase. Are you saying the acting player gets to choose AND resolve
his strike before the other player chooses a strike? The rules certainly
don't say that.

First strike means that there are separate strike resolutions for each
vamp. The vamp with First Strike deals its damage first and then has the
resolution for this strike. So, damage prevention cards may be played
during this strike resolution. Choose Strike and Strike Resolsution are
two separate phases. Hope this helps.
