Information about cards are copy/pasted from WW site Sabbat Priest [Sabbat:C, SW:C/PV, BH:PM2, Third:C/PB] Cardtype: Political Action Requires a ready Sabbat vampire. Choose a ready Sabbat vampire. Successful referendum means that for the remainder of the game, any vampire attempting to block the chosen vampire burns 1 blood. Artist: Lawrence Snelly Is the effect cumulative? -if Aaron Duggan has Sabbat Priest casted on him twice, does blocking vampire burn 2 blood when attempting to block? -is burning blood a requirement for succesful block? -can a vampire with zero blood block Sabbat Priest? -Crocodile's tongue question, Crocodile's Tongue [Gehenna:C, LoB:PO3] Cardtype: Action Modifier Discipline: Auspex [aus] Only usable when an ally or a younger vampire attempts to block. That block is canceled (the minion is not tapped). The blocking minion's controller cannot attempt to block this action again. The blocking minion can cancel this card by burning a blood or life. [AUS] As above, but canceling this card requires an additional blood or life. Artist: Leif Jones Can Metuselah burn 2 blood from the blocking vampire (or 2 life from ally) and then choose another minion to block? ..or does it have to be the same minion blocking? Thanks! -Jarkko

The currently-blockin minion (the one who burned 2 blood or life) is still the currently-blocking minion. No other minion can attempt to block until that block attempt is abandoned (due to insufficient intercept, for example).

[ quoted text not captured ] >From the card text, I can't see any reason a minion couldn't have multiple priests applied. I don't think multiples would work however, since it doesn't say an *additional* blood to block, just that it takes 1. A minion on 0 blood couldn't attempt a block, since the requirement is to pay the blood to *attempt* to block. As for crocodiles tongue, the meth pays 2 to *cancel* the card, so the block is therefore still continuing, if it fails, then of course another minion can attempt to block. ta John "BeAst" Best

If at 0 blood, there is no more blood to burn, like trying to steal 2 blood from a vamp with only 1 blood left. You burn 1 blood for each card, as each card triggers on its own at a block attempt; i.e. Sabbat Priest (1) - burn 1 blood, Sabbat Priest (2) - burn 1 blood, Sabbat Priest (3) - burn 1 blood: Net result - 3 blood burnt.

The way the card is written, the vampire must already be *attempting* to block for the burn blood clause to apply.
