[LSJ] DotB vs Soul Gem

Just to confirm. Vampire A enters combat with vampire B (who is equiped with a Soul Gem of Etrius), and A plays Drawing out the Beast. Vampire A burns B during combat. Does the Soul Gem take effect?. I am sure it does. But there are other people who think otherwise, because they say that the vampire with the Soul Gem cannot use it because of the DotB. My opinion is that DotB does not affect equipment cards from being used by the opposing vampire outside combat (i.e., once the opposing vampire is burnt). In addition, I consider that the Soul Gem is not an equipment to be used, but to take effect once its bearer is burnt. Greetings, Damnans

Burned minions cannot use equipment, so nothing changes for Soul Gem in this case. -- LSJ (vte...@white-wolf.com) V:TES Net.Rep for White Wolf, Inc.
