Bishop Vesey's Grammar

What, exactly, do I have to announce when I announce an action? Our group has used different things on this because we aren't completely 100% sure. The rules book doesn't make it exactly clear. If I'm equipping Sasha Miklos with a Laptop, I have to announce I'm performing an equip action but do I have to announce that I'm equipping a laptop? If I'm calling a vote, do I have to announce what vote it is but not the terms? If I'm Bum's Rushing someone, do I have to announce who I'm rushing? I'm guessing (and we play) yes to all of the above, but I'd be interested to know other people's ideas and/or the official version of the rules. Thanks in advance, James Coupe (if e-mailing replies, reply via jus...@bgrace.demon.co.uk)

This is all official - good guessing on your part. -- L. Scott Johnson (vte...@regency.wizards.com) Official VtES Net.Rep for Wizards of the Coast. (*) - Subject to review by Rules Team
