Pro-active damage prevention? (LSJ)

Lets say combat is occuring between Walter Nash and Muaziz. In the second round, can Walter Nash play a Skin like Steel prior to setting range to prevent damage from the strikes that are coming? (IE Can Walt play a Skin like Steel before Muaziz gets a chance to play Blood to Water to remove all of Walt's blood, hence making it impossible for him to play Skin like Steel after strikes) Matt

[ quoted text not captured ] No. He has no damage to prevent. -- 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/

Yes, becuase the normal version works against the current strike and the superior is "as above". [ quoted text not captured ]
