Question on S:CE/Telepathic Tracking combo

Would a Dawn Op/DotB/S:CE/Telepathic Tracking combo still do a point of agg damage to the opposing vampire? Does damage from the opposing strike still resolve?

New DotB text says "during the press step". I think if the acting vamp plays S:CE and then superior Telepathic Tracking to force a new round, the press step is skipped. So no. In my opinion. (Old DotB would have worked. But then the TelTracking would have been superfluous.) > Does damage from the opposing strike > still resolve? I don't think so. The S:CE still resolves as normal, causing combat to end before any damage is handled. The TelTracking's "combat doesn't end after all, have a new round" effect won't do anything retroactive.

That's the meat of my question. It doesn't state or imply whether Telpathic Tracking simply cancels the combat ending effect and continues the round as normal or starts the combat over as an additional round of that same combat. Like you, my impression is the latter of the two, but I wanted to get a second (or LSJ's) opinion before it comes up at this weekend's tournaments.

When combat should end (at the start of strike resolution, in the case of a successful S:CE), "combat doesn't end; another round of combat starts". It (TT) doesn't cause the remainder of the current round to be executed - it just causes a new round to be begun. -- LSJ (vte...@white-wolf.com) VTES Net.Rep for White Wolf, Inc.
