UAQ: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ DCI questions: * Under DCI tourney rules, does the "no repat actions" apply if an action is unsuccessfull? (If so, then this curtails the usefulness of Force of Will and Mummify; if not, then it fails to correct the abusiveness of Majesty and Earth Meld) * Under DCI tourney rules, do political action cards thrown in for extra votes get replaced at the end of the acting Methuselah's turn, or at the end of owning players turn? Do the burned PAs count against a players hand size for purposes of FragNod, Barrens, etc.? Old-and-gray questions: (This list last posted on 9/11/96 - a repost of the 8/20/96 repost of the 7/30/96 initial summary of the questions left hanging from Tom's reign.) 6/20/96: "Cannot commit diablerie" is a function of card text but "Non-Camarilla" is a funcion of clan. Why the distinction? 6/26/96: Why does the acting minion's S:CE resolve before the defender's S:CE, when the rulebook states that they resolve simultaneously? 7/01/96: Why can't you play Rotschreck in response to aggaravated damage dealt by non-strike cards (like DBR, Pulled Fangs, etc.)? 7/08/96: Blood to Water can still be played at the beginning of a round, when range is irrelevant. Why add useless errata saying that it can only be played at close range? 7/31/96: Who is the controller of Phobia and Temptation (the "you" seems to be referring to the player who played the card, not the one who, by definition of minion cards, is the controller of it once it is in play)? 7/31/96: Is Bastard Sword a hand strike, or is Burning Wrath not? (This will affect Scorpion Sting unless errata is forthcoming). CLARIFICATION: What card text denotes a "hand strike"? (Bastard Sword, Scorpion Sting, Burning Wrath, Bang Nakh). 8/02/96: When can Press-step events be played? (before presses, after presses, or at any time?) ------- Comparatively recent stuff: Anathema: Is the "only kicks in if the vampire is reduced to 0 blood due to effects errata? Would that allow a vampire to burn his own blood paying costs (of combat cards) to "save" himself from Anathema? Tomb of Ramses was cited as being revised by the RT. What's the scoop? Also: If I steal a Tomb of Ramses III from someone (via Disputed Territory), what happens? 1) The Tomb continues to function normally, giving the target vampire (in someone else's uncontrolled region) a blood for every transfer I make to one of my uncontrolled vampires. 2) The Tomb ceases to function. 3) I put the Tomb on one of my vampires when I steal it (since Tomb text has innapropriately used the "place on vampire" instruction instead of "name a vampire" or "select a target" text that a *location* should have). 10/07/96: Depravity: Is +1 hand damage gained only on diablerie attempts?

I've actually been grabbing them and putting them into a giant Word document.
