TOM: Old Qs: 2) Stealing Blood in excess of capacity

The rulebook, however, specifically states "if a vampire attempts to steal more blood than its capacity, the excess is ignored." And you say, it can be done, moreover, the excess does not drain off immediately, (again, in direct opposition with the rulebook) but rather may be used for the entire combat to heal wounds. This sounds like a mighty big change not to have been marked with large "ERRATA" stickers. Please confirm errata. Thanks, L. Scott

Actually, he's right. Most of the time it will say on the card ..."excess is used to heal wounds..." or something like that. It's in the cards guys. However, you are also right. Unless it says so on the card, excess blood is gone for good.
