Extremis Boon [LSJ]

"Other methuselah can bid pool to keep you in the game". How does it work ? Is it like a Life Boon where the pool they bid will be given to you ? Or do you just not lose the pool ousting you ? I find the card text quite unprecise. Thanks for all available precisions, Orpheus

The minimum bid is what will keep you in the game after you lose all the pool to whatever was ousting you (not sure of the situation if there are multiple sources eg 4 ARs.. though I can't see any reason to bid less pool than will keep you in the game). The top bid is given to you from the bidder's pool.

[ quoted text not captured ] Correct. If the pool bid is to keep you in the game (card text) the pool would have to go to you. -- LSJ (vte...@white-wolf.com) V:TES Net.Rep for White Wolf, Inc. Links to V:TES news, rules, cards, utilities, and tournament calendar: http://www.white-wolf.com/vtes/

You will only be ousted by one of the ARs (presumably Anarch Revolts), as they are handled one at a time. If the methuselah who 'wins' the bid doesn't give you enough pool to cover the other Anarch Revolts that are about to kick in once you're no longer ousted, well, that's just poor play all round. :) salem domain:canberra http://www.geocities.com/salem_christ.geo/vtes.htm
