I have a question about directed actions - a lot of cards say things like: "A minion can burn this card as a directed action" Does this mean that one of my minions can just declare he is going to try and burn that card as his action? If so, the affected Methusalah (whatever) can try to block? And at what stealth are these kind of actions? One other thing I just thought of - On Powerbase Master cards, you can usually stockpile blood or whatever. Someone played an Unnatural Disaster on my Powerbase Washington with 6 blood on it. That blood goes to the blood bank? ---- Ben Kerwin Remember, Information is not knowledge; Knowledge is not aka Wisdom; Wisdom is not truth; Truth is not beauty; Beauty [Holy One] is not love; Love is not music; Music is the best.

The card to be burnt is what's providing the action, so you don't need another card to go try and burn it, no. The action can be blocked as normal; typically the "burn me" cards are burnt as directed actions, so would only be blockable by the player whose location it is. Actions are always at 0 stealth unless the card (or the rules) say otherwise. >One other thing I just thought of - On Powerbase Master cards, you can usually >stockpile blood or whatever.
