I have a question about the "Seeds of Corruption" card from the Ancient Hearts expansion. The text of the card says, "Any vampire(s) may burn this card with two +1 stealth actions." According to the group I play with, this has two possible interpretations: 1) Two minion-phase actions must be spent to burn the card. These actions are automatically at a +1 stealth. 2) Two minion-phase actions must be spent to burn the card, but they are not automatically at stealth. The player must add stealth to the actions by some other means if they are to count toward burning the card. Which is correct? joeg...@umich.edu * some sunny days, you wish it was raining

When a card says that you may take a +1 stealth action it has always meant that this card is granting an action that comes with +1 stealth. I know clarification was issued for Pulled Fang, and it seems applicable. As in Pulled Fang one or more vampires may burn this card, requiring in total two seperate actions. -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- pheersum inhabits the mortal shell of eric schultheis. one channels phee...@sb.net. the oracle speaks--"in theory there is no difference between theory & practice, but in practice..." ---------------------------------------------------------------------
