I want to make sure this works. I have Anson, equipped with an Ivory Bow and dragging along the Ghoul Retainer. If he gets into combat, and he uses his hands while the Ghoul Retainer uses the Ivory Bow, Rotschreck can't be played because it says "...when a minion attempts to use aggravated damage..." and the Ghoul Retainer is a retainer, not a minion. Is this right? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dave Andrews S2...@nmu.edu

It wouldn't conflict with the card text if the RTR were correct and the "minion" dealing the aggravated damage wasn't going to torpor, but rather the receiving "vampire" did. Yet another reason why the ruling on Rötschreck sucks. :-) ~Biomechanoid

That conflicts card text. > Is this an errata? > Actually, card text has Rotschrek only effecting Vampires, who were about to recieve agg damage. The erata to cause it to work the other way (and no longer have anything to do with Rotschrek, from V:tM) has left us with some very weird rules questions. (Hey, if it effects the minion, why CAN'T you send the Flame Thrower equipped Street Gang into Torpor?) > :-) > > -- > "Live Life with Heart." > > Alan Kwan kw...@cs.cornell.edu Ritaxis --
