Hullo, Here's today's situation : A has a Perfectionist and he successfully performs an action with no reaction card being played. At the end of the action, he would gain 1 blood from Perfectionist. Well, someone, here, says that he's about to gain 1 blood from Perfectionist, and wants to play Final Loosening at auspex. What happens next ? a) A gains 1 blood per Final Loosening's cardtext, and the reacting anarch gains 1 blood. b) A gains 0 blood, and the reacting anarch gains 0 blood, because the "instead" of FL is "instead of A gaining 1 or more blood", which is no longer correct, since FL has been played (and hence Perfectionist can't give 1 blood). I suppose answer a) is correct, since you can't have Perfectionist check twice if any reaction card has been played, but I'm not totally sure. Thanks Final Loosening Cardtype: Reaction Discipline: Auspex/Dementation/Fortitude Requires an anarch. [aus] Play when the acting vampire would gain 1 or more blood. The acting vampire and this reacting anarch each gain 1 blood instead. Perfectionist Cardtype: Master Master: archetype. Put this card on a vampire you control. Once per turn, when this vampire sucessfully performs an action and no reaction cards are played, he or she gains 1 blood after the action is resolved. A vampire can have only one archetype.

Can't play Final Loosening at all. Perfectionist has "after the action is resolved". At that point it is too late to play reaction cards (or action modifiers, unless they have text to explicitly insert them in there, I think....such as Freak Drive). -- salem (replace 'hotmail' with 'gmail' to email) "In *my* Assamite deck, this would pwn you in teh FAEC, so shut up."
