Hello LSJ,
Here's a question I had last night :
How exactly does Protected resources deal with non-bleed pool loss
during a bleed action ?
Here's an example to make things a bit clearer :
Anson has 2 Aching Beauty 's, and bleeds his prey. Prey blocks, burns
2 pool. After combat, Anson uses his Ambulance to continue the
action.
a/ if prey doesn't block, does she burn pool for the successful bleed
action ? (she already burnt 2 pool during this bleed action)
b/ if answer to a/ is no, is the bleed successful ?
The thing is that Protected Resources doesn't mention where the pool
loss comes from (this is just about getting confirmation the pool loss
is pool loss due to successful bleeding).
Thanks.

Master.
Put this card in play. You do not burn more than 2 pool when a minion
bleeds you, regardless of the amount of the bleed. Burn this card if a
minion you control successfully bleeds.

It doesn't. At all. It has no effect on or awareness of non-bleed pool loss.

Confirmed: "when a minion bleeds you".

The pool burn from aching beauty iss before the bleed, as a cost for
attempting to block. The bleed itself is only for 2.
Anson has 2 Aching Beauties, bleeds for 2. If Smudge attempts to
block, you pay 2 pool. If Anson then plays Torrent, you would need to
pay another 2 pool to again attempt to block. IF he gets blocked
again, and plays Torrent again, you will again need to pay 2 pool. Ad
absurdium. Then when the action succeeds, you burn 2 pool for the
bleed, no matter how large the bleed amount is. (assuming a bleed
larger than 1...)
