Salutations Vampire FFans, I have been only playing Jyhad/V:TES (What ever you want to call it!) for a few months now and I have a question. The rules say that if you block a vampire rescuing themselves from Torpor no combat occures and the target vampire can be diaberised. Now my question is do you HAVE to diaberise them if you block the self rescue action? / Ne cede melia, Michael DISCLAMER: These opinions are my own and >>>>*====The Dark Angel========- | may change without prior notice \ mic...@biohazad.demon.co.uk QUOTE: Eight words the Wiccan Rede fulfill |Einstein: An ye harm none, do what ye will. | God does not play dice with the universe Lest in thy self defence it be. |Bohr: Albert, stop telling God what to do

You are not required to diablerize. Further, by the wording of the rules, the vampire attempting to leave torpor still loses the two blood (the blood cost is to attempt to leave, which differs from another vampire rescuing, where the blood cost is only paid if the action succeeds). If you choose not to diablerize, the vampire simply remains in torpor, tapped. -Dave Green

No. You could choose to simply block the action and leave the acting vampire in torpor. -- L. Scott Johnson (vte...@regency.wizards.com) Official VtES Net.Rep for Wizards of the Coast.

This changed from Jyhad to VtES. [ quoted text not captured ]

Just like a rescue attempt. > If you choose not to > diablerize, the vampire simply remains in torpor, tapped. ..without burning the two blood. salem christ....
