Scott - is this last bit actually legal? I'm not quite clear on whether a vampire can play a card that says "This acting vampire burns 1 blood to..." when he has no blood. The blood burning isn't written as optional, but I'm not sure if that invalidates the playing of the card knowing it will fail. Josh called by the sleepy dead

[ quoted text not captured ] Call of the Hungry Dead can only be used when there is a blocking minion, but you can play it at superior even if you're empty (for no effect). Why you would want to do so instead of playing it at inferior is another question. -- LSJ (vte...@white-wolf.com) V:TES Net.Rep for White Wolf, Inc.
