Are tainted vitaes cummulative? If so, and I have two tainted vitaes that my prey has placed on a vampire, and on my turn I want to bleed with that vampire, and he only has one blood on him. Can I still bleed with that vampire or do I have to be able to burn the required blood to be able to bleed that methusuleh.

Tainted Vitae doesn't say "burn an extra blood *to* bleed", it says "burn an additional blood when he attempts to bleed". So, he has to attempt to bleed before he burns the blood (not the other way around). And, as always, he ignores burn blood effects in excess of his current blood supply. -- LSJ (vte...@wizards.com) V:TES Net.Rep for Wizards of the Coast.
