OK, just a couple of questions:
(1) If Pulled Fangs is played, and then Rotschrek is played, what
happens? Puller definately goes to torpor, and Pullee would appear
not to take the aggravated damage... but are Pullee's fangs still
pulled?
(2) If someone hunts, and gains no blood from it, the hunt is still
successful (like a diseased vampire, who gains no blood from hunting)
and the hunter is a candidate for Masquerade Endangered or XTC laced
blood?
(3) A meta-question: If we were playing a house rule that Concealed
weapon didn't require the obfuscate skill, could a HellHound equip
with a .44 Magnum that way?

Here's a question,
While playing a game yesterday, someone played the card "discovered
haven" (I think that's the name.) It is placed on any minion, an after
this card plays, any minion may choose to attach the affected minion as
a directed action.
If one vampire attacks the minion, the defending minion is then tapped.
If another vampire attacks the minion, can he attack? Can the affected
minion defend? Can he simply take the damage delt to him/her?
:-)

If you read the Hell Hound card carefully, you'll find that this only
available action is blocking. You could play where you didn't need *any*
skills to play *any* card and the Hell Hound would still be unable to
equip *anything*.
Remember what Seinfeld says about dogs (and I'm paraphrasing):
Do you know why dogs are always broke? They don't have any pockets! Even
if they find a quarter laying on the street, they can't do anything
about it.

This is wrong. Combat does _not_ tap a minion. rather the act of blocking an
action or performing an action blocks a vampire. Therefore if someone
attacked a vamp with its haven uncovered, said victim vamp would _not_ be
tapped by being attacked. Same deal with bum rush and all other cards like
it.

I would have to disagree. If you take a look at the concealed weapon card, it
says you equip during combat, so the hound never actually takes an equip
action. THe scenario is as follows:
1) vamp. X does action
2) hell hound blocks
3) in combat, hell hound pulls out a concealed weapon(using the no skill
needed rule).
So IMHO, in this specific situation, hell hound would be able to equip with a
weapon.

victim's fangs are not pulled, and victim does not goto torpor unless he took
aggravated damage or was knocked below 0 blood.

kind of a fruity question actually. A similar case is the pred. bleed and
prey playing telepathic counter. In that situation, the bleed is not
considered successful if no blood is lost. However in this case, I would
think that as long as the action is not blocked, the hunt is "successful".

answered this somewhere else I believe.

Yep, I suppose you're right.

The damage defeinitely doesn't happen. I haven't gotten an answer on
whether the Pulled Fangs is nullified entirely.

Yes. "successful", at least in this context, means "not blocked"

Looks that way.
