Simple question about Body of Sun for normal (non-superior) level. It
states that all vampires at close range receive 3 aggravated damage and all
that are far receive 1 aggravated damage. I assume the acting vampire
takes damage also as the superior level states that the acting vampire is
not affected. So at normal level, does this mean the acting vampire will
burn 4 blood to use the card then will take 3 aggravated damage for using
it - in essence losing 7 blood with aggravated damage to boot. Thanks in
advance for anyone's reply. Feel free to post your reply or use your reply
to author function to respond to me personally.

Correct, if at close range.

Yes. However, if he has Fortitude, tho, he can prevent the damage to
himself using Prevent Damage cards. However, the damage that Body of
Sun does to himself IS NOT considered to be from a strike (the only
damage ever considered to be from a strike is damage that your opponent
does to you with a strike in combat or something which explicitly states
it (nothing so far)) so you can't Skin of Steel it but you could, say,
Skin of Rock it, several times.
But, in essence, the card "costs" 7 blood, but you can make it cheaper
using damage prevention.
