TOM: Q: DS: Sacrificial Lamb

Sacrificial Lamb Action Obfuscate 3 blood Normal: Burn a vampire in torpor that you control. The acting vampire gains blood equal to the burned vampire's capacity. (Ignore excess blood.) You may also transfer equipment from the burned vampire to this one. This action is not considered diablerie. Superior: (D) As above, but you may choose a vampire in another Methuselah's torpor region. If a vampire attempts the superior (a (D) action) and attempts to burn a vampire in his controller's own torpor region, is this action unblockable since it is (D) and self-directed (cf. Rampage)? (and we all know that actions cannot be directed when directed to another methuselah and not directed when not. <47r183$o...@darkstar.UCSC.EDU>) -- L.

[ quoted text not captured ] > ~Mage BobActually it says "you MAY choose a vampire in another methuselah's..." this doesn't necessarily mean you have to.
