Okay, I'm having a slight disagreement with the people I play Jyhad with over reaction cards. I think that unless the card specifically states an exception (as many do) they can only be used by an untapped vampire that has the requsite abilities, which then taps the vampire. Everyone else thinks that they can be used as long as the player controls a vampire with the requsite ability, whether of not it's tapped, and that playing reactions doesn't tap an untapped vampire. Anyone else (especially Tom :) ) care to take sides? --Andrew This user is SHAREWARE. Please feel free to distribute him freely.

Reaction cards can only be played by an untapped vampire, unless they specifically say otherwise (for example, Wake with Evening's Freshness). Using a reaction does not tap the reacting vampire unless the card specifically says so (for example, Obedience). > Everyone else thinks that they can be > used as long as the player controls > a vampire with the requsite ability, > whether of not it's tapped, and that > playing reactions doesn't tap an untapped > vampire. They're wrong about who can play reaction cards, but they're right on the tapping score. -- He did not wear his scarlet coat, | a-Henh!

There are no sides to take. Only untapped vampired can use reaction cards (with the exceptions of cards which "untap" vampires for blocking purposes). Using a reaction card DOES NOT tap the vampire, UNLESS the card specifically states that it does. The only things a tapped vampire can do is lay there or "wake up" to block an action, with the execeptions of vampires who can untap between Methusela's turns.

Can a tapped vampire use a Wake with evenings freshness to play a reaction card? For example I have a tapped vampire with superior presence and there is a vote going on, I have a dread gaze which will give me 4 votes. I want to be able to use a Wake, not to block the political action, but to play my reaction card. The text on Wake with evenings freshness says: vampire may play reaction cards and attempt to block as if untapped. Is that an inclusive AND? must the vampire do both to satisfy the card? or can you just do one or the other? please dont say that you cant use a wake unless you have another reaction card in hand!

Tapped vampires can also vote, but I do not believe they can play reaction cards that produce votes (because of the "reaction cards can't be played by tapped vampires" rule). -- Dale Hurtt dhurtt@harris.com

Get real. vampire MAY play reaction cards, vampire MAY attempt to block. You can play a Wake anytime anyone does an action just to get it out of your hand. vampire MAY do nothing at all... !-----------------------------------------------------------------------------!

Yes, because WwEF specifically allows the vampire to block and react in spite of being blocked. >For example I have a tapped vampire with superior presence and there is a >vote going on, I have a dread gaze which will give me 4 votes.

You can use the Wake before the vote begins, which will then allow you to use the Dread Gaze during the vote in spite of its being tapped. >please dont say that you cant use a wake unless you have another reaction >card in hand! You can always use Wake just because, i.e., even if it won't let you do anything useful. Tom Wylie rec.games.trading-cards.* Network Representative for aahz@hal.com Wizards of the Coast, Inc.
