great beast calls great beast, contest? LSJ

Great beast is in play, is Clan impersonated to Baali, and has 2 discipline skill cards making him 11 cap. Can he take the great beast action?

This card becomes a unique clanless independent infernal vampire with 9 capacity, 4 strength and 3 bleed.

The card only becomes a unique vampire (Great Beast no2) when it triggers, at which point the acting vampire (Great Beast no1) burns. So no contest ever occurs.

There was the whole argument a while ago about not being able to take an action that would result in an illegal result, eg. a 10 cap baali taking the second GB action

However, the result of the action is 'there's one and only one GB in play', so there's no illegality, so you can do it. -John Flournoy
