blocking a hunt

when you intercept a vampire that has 0 blood going to hunt does any combat occur or does it just block the action?

Combat occurs, just like all other blocked actions that are not "leave torpor". Only the "leave torpor" action has a result when blocked that is not combat. Carpe noctem.

No, it isn't. See Regeneration. -- James Coupe PGP Key: 0x5D623D5D EBD690ECD7A1FB457CA2 Hi! I'm Nancy Drew! You must be the Hardy Boys! 13D7E668C3695D623D5D

And Rapid Healing (which granted, is basically leave torpor)... I think, to be more accurate, any action that is taken by a vampire in torpor, which is then blocked, does not result in combat - generally the blocker has the option of diablerie.

Unless: 1) That vampire is a Tremere, and a Slave Gargoyle takes over. [The Slave Rule says nothing about "ready" for this part of things. If this happens, the Tremere is untapped and is free to attempt the Leave Torpor action again, by the way...] 2) That vampire has superior VIS and plays a Conscripted Statue. 3) That vampire is a !Brujah, and plays Blood Brother Ambush. I know, technically this isn't "the resulting combat". But still...

Only ready minions can be in combat. > generally the blocker has the option of diablerie. Generally meaning "in all current examples", yes. But note that the general rules for blocking do not include an option for diablerie when the acting minion is not ready. That option is peculiar to the leave torpor action, and it is only available otherwise when specified explicitly on card text. -- LSJ (vte...@white-wolf.com) V:TES Net.Rep for White Wolf, Inc.

but .......when you DO encounter a 0 blood vampire hunting it does give you the chance to DESTROY him with a flamethrower etc. with aggravated damage! correct? "LSJ" <vte...@white-wolf.com> wrote in message news:3E5CC472...@white-wolf.com... [ quoted text not captured ]

If you can inflict 2 aggravated damage to a vampire with no blood (or 1 normal and one aggravated at the same time) such as with a flame thrower then yes you can burn the vampire. -JTP "jimmyz" <zimm...@hotmail.com> wrote in message news:v5prfe1...@corp.supernews.com...

Not sure what this has to do with blocking the action taken by a vampire in torpor, as you quoted above, since vampires in torpor cannot hunt, but yes, a vampire with no blood (hunting or not) can be burned by inflicting 2 aggravated damage on him (if he doesn't prevent, etc.) [ quoted text not captured ]

Yeah.. 0 blood vampires are not special except that they have to hunt if untapped, ready, and it's their controller's minion phase.
