Qs: Multiple Questions (LSJ? anyone? Bueller?)

Here are my questions: 1. Can Kraken's Kiss (and other ranged strength cards) be used with Body Arsenal (and other "hand strike" modifying cards)? I say no due to the definition of "hand strike" in the errata. But I'm inclined to believe it just might be possible. 2. How often can one use Grendel's (or other "while X is ready" vampire specials) ability? I say you can use it as much as you want whenever you want because of the word "while". 3. Can Entombment be used at long range? I play it as it's like Dodge or Combat Ends: range doesn't matter. 4. During a Blood Hunt vote (the resulting vote from diablerie, not the card) can political action cards be used to gain votes? The rules say that action modifiers and reactions can't be played, but no mention (that I found) of political action cards being used to gain votes. 5. Can I wait to see if anyone will block before playing action modifiers? (i.e. announce bleed, prey chooses not to block, play Conditioning) If so, can blockers be announced after I play an action modifier? Thanks, TAD -- "How can you call me evil?

It is a hand damage modifier. Kraken's Kiss doesn't deal hand damage, since it is not a hand strike. Hand damage is the type of damage done by a hand strike. > 2.

As often as you like. > 3. Can Entombment be used at long range? I play it as it's like Dodge > or Combat Ends: range doesn't matter. You can play it, but it won't be effective at long range.

Each Methuselah may burn one PA for a vote. > 5. Can I wait to see if anyone will block before playing action > modifiers?

Not by anyone who has already declined to block. -- LSJ (vte...@white-wolf.com) VTES Net.Rep for White Wolf, Inc.
