Hello, This one question might look rather dumb, but I'd like to check anyway : What happens if one plays Frenzy (Out-of-Turn.Frenzy.Only usable before range is chosen. Choose a vampire in combat. In this round, that vampire cannot use equipment and cannot use presses to end combat. This round has a press, only usable to continue combat.) on a vampire immune to Frenzy cards (Since this is possible since 07-07-2007 rulings) : a) absolutely nothing for obvious reasons ? or b) the round has a press to continue, for that particular effect is environmental and does not enter in the scope of the vampire's immunity ? Thank you, Francois

[ quoted text not captured ] If the vampire is immune to Frenzy, then he is not a valid target, and the card cannot be played

There's a difference between immunity to an effect, or being an illegal target. For example, if a vampire is immune for non-aggravated damage, you may still attempt to inflict it. Same goes for frenzy cards. There are cards that prevent the playing of frenzy cards (say, armor of caine's fury) and those that make you immune to the effects of frenzy cards. Check cardtext for individual cases ;) The second option doesn't make it an illegal target. Cheers, Bram

Reading all your messages, a question has risen : Why would the Frenzy's "Press" be "environmental", and not the Rötschreck's "Combat ends" ? It seems that both don't affect the specific vampire, and so don't enter the scope of the vampire's immunity.

[ quoted text not captured ] So if a Rotschreck is played as a vampire attempts to inflict aggravated damage to another vampire, combat will end, even if the second vampire is immune to frenzy cards?

Bram Vink

[ quoted text not captured ] That is indeed what follows from LSJ's answers. Cheers, Bram

And if this is the case, does the vampire "targeted" by Rotschreck still go to torpor after combat ends? (I hope not, as that mostly wallpapers the mostly-already-wallpapered anti-frenzy cards.)

[ quoted text not captured ] I don't think so. The "targeted" Vampire is immune to Frenzy cards, so Rötschreck isn't "put on [him]". So the "This vampire is tapped and sent to torpor" and so text doesn't occur (since "this" refers to no vampire).

It doesn't change anything of the status of the vampire, which is immune to the effects. It affects the combat. Ending it. Cheers, B
