If Rabbat has Vampiric Disease, can she hunt and instead of gaining no
blood, give you the blood to your pool? She isn't gaining the blood
which is the key phrase in vampiric disease.
Rabbat, The Sewer Goddess
Capacity: 7
Independent
Ability: Red List: Rabbat may send a vampire to torpor or burn an ally
as a strike. If she hunts, you may move 1 of the blood she gains to
your pool. She cannot take (D) actions or block actions that aren't
directed at her or at a card on her.
Clarifications and Rulings
Her hunt for pool special may be used even when she is full. The blood
goes to your pool instead of to Rabbat, so there's no need to worry if
it exceeds her capacity. [LSJ 20050331]
Vampiric Disease
Type(s): Master
Choose a controlled vampire; put a disease counter on him or her if he
or she does not have one. Each time a vampire with a disease counter
is in combat at close range with another vampire, the second vampire
gets a counter as well. An afflicted vampire cannot gain blood by
hunting. When an afflicted vampire untaps, he or she burns a blood,
or, if unable, loses all disease counters.

IANLSJ, but per the text I would say no.
Rabbat: "If she hunts, you may move 1 of the blood she *gains* to your
pool."
Vampiric Disease: "An afflicted vampire *cannot gain* blood by
hunting."

I would say no (although IANLSJ) because the key phrase in Vampiric
Disease is
"An afflicted vampire cannot GAIN blood by hunting."
And Rabbats text says
"If she hunts, you may move 1 of the blood she GAINS to your pool."
In the cited case of hunting whilst full, the vampire does GAIN the
blood, and then it washes off, but there is a time period between this
when the blood can be moved (Awe, cited example...).

Sorry if this is going horrendously off-topic here, but this intrigues
me. I had always assuming the "washing off" as you put it was applied
immediately. Would this imply that you could use Heidelberg to
transfer it before this occured? (if not, your "Awe" reference has me
a little confused)

It does. The more common phrase is "drains off", at least as I've heard it.
Blood in excess of capacity drains off immediately. It cannot be saved or spent
for any purpose.

You cannot use Heidelberg during an action, so even if the "immediately" weren't
true, the castle would still be off limits.

Yeah, I don't get the "Awe" reference.
The "cited example" works because the blood Rabbat gains doesn't go to her at
all. It goes to your pool "instead" of to Rabbat, so there's never any point
where it's on her to check if it exceeds her capacity.
