The online card text for Chill of Oblivion says: "+1 stealth action. [nec]Put this card on a ready vampire. This vampire may burn this card in combat to treat aggravated damage as normal for the remainder of combat. A vampire can have only one Chill of Oblivion. [NEC] As above, and this acting vampire untaps during your next discard phase." But my physical copy of Chill of Oblivion says (with line breaks as printed) "+1 stealth action. [nec] Put this card on a ready vampire. vampire may burn this card in combat to treat aggravated damage as normal for the remainder of combat. A vampire can have only one Chill of Oblivion. [NEC] As above, and this acting vampire untaps during your next discard phase." It looks like just the word "this" was omitted from the second sentence; I guess the typo should probably be listed on the Errata page? Also, can Chill of Oblivion be placed on another vampire of the acting Methuselah's choice? It seems yes, as the card reads "Put this card on *a* ready vampire" and not "put this card on *the acting* vampire". If so, presumably the action is directed if you choose another Methuselah's vampire, or undirected if you choose one of your own? thanks, Josh was obliviously chilled this morning (and last night)

It is a typo, yes. Typos aren't listed on the errata page when they don't affect game play (i.e., when the players will still be able to figure out what the card does) - "errata" is a functional change to card text. I will update the card list to reflect the fact that the word "this" is a correction, however. > Also, can Chill of Oblivion be placed on another vampire of the acting > Methuselah's choice?
