1) Can a master card be blocked? 2) There are some master cards that has a clan symbol on them. What do they mean? 3) Can a vampire get 2 titles, like a primogen who gets to become Justicar? Does he gets 4 votes? 4) Do you tap a vampire to give him/her an equipment? 5) Can you draw a card after you play one during combat? 6) CRUSHER, a Brujah vampire, has the ability to use one blood to dodge. Is this dodge an extra strike, or his only strike. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Doug Le |TTTTTTT UU UU LL AAA NNN NN EEEEE Computer Engineering | TT UU UU LL AA AA NN N NN EEE Tulane University | TT UU UU LL AAAAAAA NN N NN EE le@rex.cs.tulane.edu | TT UUUU LLLLLL AA AA NN NNN EEEEE ----------------------For the land of the Free, and the home of the WAVE!!!! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- In the auto industry, when they make | In the Software Industry, when they a mistake, it's call a RECALL, and | make a mistake, it's call an UPGRADE, they have to pay for it. | and we have to pay for it. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Most of the time, you can't do anything about master actions, but some master cards can be eliminated later (e.g. locations can be burned using "Arson" which is a minion action or "Unnatural Disaster" which is another master card). >2) There are some master cards that has a clan symbol on them. What do they > mean? Means you can only play it if you have a vampire of the appropriate clan _ready_ (not uncontrolled and not in torpor - it's OK if he's ready but tapped). >3) Can a vampire get 2 titles, like a primogen who gets to become Justicar? > Does he gets 4 votes? Er, I've seen some debate about this one. You'll need to ask Tom Wylie. >4) Do you tap a vampire to give him/her an equipment? Yes. Think of it this way: you're not "giving" him/her equipment, he/she is going to "get" it from some place under your control (so it counts as an action and the vamp is tapped). >5) Can you draw a card after you play one during combat? Yes. Unless the card says "DO NOT REPLACE UNTIL AFTER COMBAT," you immediately draw another to take its place. >6) CRUSHER, a Brujah vampire, has the ability to use one blood to dodge. Is > this dodge an extra strike, or his only strike. My gut feeling on this is that it's his _only_ strike. The purpose of his special ability is to give him the ability to dodge even though you don't have a "dodge" card to use on him. Crusher would be kind of handy as a blocker since it would be tough to hurt him badly (until he runs out of blood!). Hope that cleared things up (83%, anyway) for you...

Regarding the first question... there is a Master:out of turn called 'Sudden Reversal', which burns any other Meth.'s Master card as it is played... they get back any blood they had to pay for it, tho... I think it's an uncommon, judging from where it was in the booster, and it wasn't on the v2.6 card list, so... *shrug* Spencer "still a jyhad beginner, and no rec.games.jyhad here :^(" Olson olsospe@elof.acc.iit.edu

It would be consistent with the rules (hah!) to say that he can pay a blood to use a dodge as his strike, but if he gets additional strikes through other means, he could use one of them to dodge, and the others to do damage. --Red +----------------------------------------------+---------------------------+ | Looking for Creature Bonds and Earthbinds!!! | redadept@cris.com | | If you'd like to contribute, send me E-mail! +---------------------------+ +----------------------------------------------+ Hail Eris!
