Not sure If this message got lost or just missed but here it is again. If a vampire uses the force of will action to bleed, and then during the ensuing combat plays form of mist, what is the result? 1/The vampire plays FOM and continues the force of will bleed action at +1 stealth. Then after the bleed action is complete takes the aggravated damage. 2/the vampire plays FOM and takes the aggravated damage immiediatly after the combat ends, going to torpor without completing the bleed action. Love to get some feedback on this one from official sources or otherwise. :) Cheers, Karl

You'll have to wait for an official ruling. I personally, with no basis given to what the design team may think, think that FoW was /meant/ to do its damage at the end of the action. That combat had been begun and ended without the action having being being ended should have no bearing on the WoD-based reading of the card. But card text isn't so forgiving. So, with no consideration given to how things "ought" to be (based on the WoD viewpoint), then the only thing I can say for sure is that the acting vampire will go to torpor (or be burned) when the combat ends, even if it ends by Form of Mist. Whether Form of Mist will allow a Torpor'ed vampire to continue his action is up to the design team. (Who must then consider what will follow if the continued action is blocked - since combat cannot occur with a vampire in Torpor). > If a vampire uses the force of will action to bleed, and then >during the ensuing combat plays form of mist, what is the result? > 1/The vampire plays FOM and continues the force of will bleed >action at +1 stealth.
