Agent of Power and non-standard-playing

If one of my vampires diablerizes, and I dig up Agent of Power as his discipline cards, do I get to assign a discipline to it, or only when it's played as normal? This carries over to any non-standard-playing of a skillcard: Deviki Presanta, Path of Death and the Soul, the new Setite whose name I don't remember... ...and with Bima*, Shock Troops, Legion? Does it burn at end of turn in any/all those cases? (Shock Troops and Legion in particular are specific that they create non-unique vampires who just "have" that discipline but don't refer to the rest of the card text) * If it does indeed let you choose a discipline for Bima, and the card burns, then Bima's card text does not say he loses access to the discipline if the card burns, so you can create an army of Bimas with crazy disciplines and Anthelios to recycle the single Agent of Power.

Assign. > This carries over to any non-standard-playing of a skillcard: > Deviki Presanta, Path of Death and the Soul, the new Setite whose > name I don't remember... Yes. > ....and with Bima*, Shock Troops, Legion? Yes. No. No. If the skill card is used as a placeholder to represent something else, then its text doesn't apply (including the "unique" part, too). So the Shock Troops vampire would simply be a 1-cap Sabbat with no clan and no Disciplines. Similarly for the fledging Legion (clanned, appropriately sected). > Does it burn at end of turn in any/all those cases?

True. A more intuitive version of Bima's card text may be printed later, but for now, go nuts.

Heh! LSJ's beginning to sound like a worn-out parent: given up trying to discipline the kids to hang up their jackets and has now resigned himself to keeping them out of Federal prison. ;-) Fred
