"Scarce" question

OK.. So when a Scarce vampire comes into play from the uncontrolled region, you pay 3 pool for every other vampire of the same clan. So, let's say that I'm playing Setites, and my prey has brought out Miriam Benyona, the 5 cap Salubri. I put Temptation on her, and take control of her a few turns later. While I have control of Ms. Benyona, I have her play Clan Impersonation to Setite. Then, I Banish her. Now, presuming my prey is dumb enough to bring her back out onto the board, would he have to pay 3 pool for every Setite in play? Ouch.

Does the clan impersonation kicks in only after she came back in play, so you have already "bypassed" the scarce cost ? reyda

Answer: the clan matching the card in play (not the uncontrolled card) - you count Ventrue in this case. In much the same way that extra blood won't "roll off" if you have the Master Discipline cards to hold it. ** -- James Coupe PGP 0x5D623D5D It's been a long road, getting from there to here EBD690ECD7A1FB457CA213D7E It's been a long time, and my time is finally near 668C3695D623D5D I will see my dream come alive at last, I will touch the sky And they're not gonna hold me down no more, no they're not gonna change my mind
