Blood of Acid vs Catatonic Fear (LSJ)

A player asked me to post this question : «What happens when you play Blood of Acid in combat and the opposing vampire plays a Catatonic Fear (superior version)? Does the opposing minion suffer a point of environmental damage resulting from the combination of Catatonic Fear's damage and Blood of Acid?» I think that the domage are not done to the meth that play Catatonic Fear since : The effect of Blood of Acid applies to all strikes in the current round. [RTR 19980623] [LSJ 19990215] But the domage from Catatonic Fear is outside of the round : Catatonic Fear's damage is dealt just after the combat ends. [RTR 19970630] What do you think ? -- Khaleph Alendis, High Priest of Maizerets VEKN Setite Prince of Beauport http://cdd.citeweb.net/khaleph/ Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.

Blood of Acid on works on damage inflicted by the opposing minion during strike resolution. Since Catatonic Fear's damage is not done during strike resolution, it won't be "copied" by Blood of Acid. -- LSJ (vte...@white-wolf.com) V:TES Net.Rep for White Wolf, Inc.

I do one point of enviromental damage and steal one blood. Would Blood of Acid affect me for the one point of enviromental damage I inflicted? Comments Welcome Norman S.

No. "You" don't inflict environmental damage (and, in this case, the environmental damage isn't even done during strike resolution). Environmental damage is damage that isn't inflicted by a minion, by definition. Blood of Acid only works on damage inflicted by the opposing minion during strike resolution. -- [ quoted text not captured ]
