Hi, Can Sylvie Helgon burn a Charming Lobby card from my hand to gain +1 stealth or +1 intercept during an action ? Can Charming Lobby be burned from hand to gain 1 vote during a referendum ? (Strangely enough, I couldn't find this one on the NG) Thanks ~ ~ Charming Lobby Cardtype: Action Discipline: Presence +1 stealth political action. [pre] This vampire calls a referendum listed on a political action card in your hand (play that card) or allowed by an effect in play. If the referendum passes, then the next referendum called by any vampire thereafter passes automatically. [PRE] As above, and this vampire gains 2 votes in that first referendum. Sylvie Helgon Cardtype: Vampire Clan: Ahrimanes Group: 6 Capacity: 9 Discipline: aus vic ANI PRE PRO SPI Sabbat: Once each action, Sylvie may burn a political action card [POLITICAL ACTION] from your hand to get +1 stealth or +1 intercept. Sterile. [CTM] Charming Lobby is a political action that calls the first referendum CE

Right. I didn't know whether that one could be trusted, since the CTM on CL is of CE, and this ruling was from pre-CE. Thanks !

Charming lobby does state political action, it is a card, where does it not meet the requirements?

LSJ

[ quoted text not captured ] It is an action card. See the linked articles and surrounding threads.

[ quoted text not captured ] And political action is not an action card? sorry, but i read the rulings and links, (only about 3 links deep i must admit) and this looks like a decision by fiat. Which is fine, but is not the same as saying that it is not a political action. As the card text quite clearly state that it is a political action. And it is a card. So where is the disconnect?

It is. And a retainer is an action card, but that doesn't make The Summoning a retainer. Charming Lobby is not a Political Action card. You can tell because political action cards have the political action card icon up near the action card icon, and Charming Lobby doesn't have that icon. > sorry, but i read the rulings and links, (only about 3 links deep i > must admit) > > and this looks like a decision by fiat.

It is not a "political action card" although it is an "action card" and the action it grants is a "political action". Political Action Card : Political Action :: Retainer Card : Employ Retainer Action Try replacing all instances of "political action card" with "Referendum Card" (but leave "political action" as it is in other cases) to get the idea (parallel to "retainer card" and "employ action")

[ quoted text not captured ] k, makes sense. but you can see where it could be somewhat confusing, having a card named as type political action not be a political action card, right? Maybe that could be made somewhat clearer?

No more confusing than a "successful bleed action" being different from a "successful bleed"...

Hi, again. Sylvie Helgon plays Charming Lobby on Reins of Power. During the action, she burns the Reins of Power from her controller's hand (no RoP left there), for stealth. Action isn't blocked. Does it fizzle? Bureaucratic Overload was in play. Does she burn 0, 1 or 2 blood? Can Reins of Power still be played / called in this game? ~ ~ Reins of Power Cardtype: Political Action Successful referendum means each Methuselah may choose a ready vampire he or she controls. Each Methuselah gains 6 pool. Each Methuselah also burns an amount of pool equal to the capacity of his or her predator's chosen vampire. Only one Reins of Power can be played or called in a game. Charming Lobby Cardtype: Action Discipline: Presence +1 stealth political action. [pre] This vampire calls a referendum listed on a political action card in your hand (play that card) or allowed by an effect in play. If the referendum passes, then the next referendum called by any vampire thereafter passes automatically. [PRE] As above, and this vampire gains 2 votes in that first referendum.

Sterile. Bureaucratic Overload Cardtype: Master Unique master. Put this card in play. Political actions cost 1 additional blood. Any vampire can call a referendum to burn this card as a +1 stealth political action.
