rules stuff again...sorry

I had my last tournament last weekend, and a number of questions came up. Most were pretty simple, but I promised the players (esp. ones who haven't played in tournaments for a while) that I would ask a few questions. 1) Can Environmental damage be prevented by normal fortitude cards? E.g. Weather Control vs. Skin of Rock 2) Can normal fortitude cards prevent aggravated damage? E.g. Skin of Rock vs. a flamethrower 3) In the case of the gangrel Stanislava, what is the definition of opposing- importantly, when does it start? E.g. Stanislava vs. Raptor- does the vamp get the intercept? Thanks, I know some of this is really simple but I did promise Yours til the sun rises, Prince Shevy of Edinburgh

Though the Raptor doesn't provide the intercept while in combat (which could possibly prevent Stanislava from playing Form of Mist at superior since you wouldn't need the stealth). Halcyan 2

[ quoted text not captured ] Assuming that Stanislava had enough stealth that the Raptor was needed to block before, that is. If she was just taking a 0- stealth action, the Raptor's intercept was superfluous before and Form of Mist would still be playable by Stanislava for stealth. Which I'm sure you know, just for the benefit of anyone who might become confused. :-) Josh notorious! victoria! marconius! makarios!
