This situation never occured in my group, but it might now, since the other players have beefed up on their bloodlines cards. When someone with a poker (or the banshee - whatever cold iron stuff there is) strikes a Kiasyd, can someone play Rotschreck on that? One view would be that the poker strike is not aggravated per se, and that aggravated damage occurs because the Kiasyd resolves cold iron strikes as such (an effect that doesn't take place in the choose strike phase of the combat). The other view is that it is well predictable that a Kiasyd will resolve cold iron strikes as aggravated, and so the "fear" does kick in, making rotschreck playable.

That is a nice backstory justification for the rule, but doesn't factor in to the ruling. -- LSJ (vte...@white-wolf.com) V:TES Net.Rep for White Wolf, Inc.
