Question on Ghoul Retainer again

1)If the opposing vamp kills my Ghoul Ret. equipped with a weapon, do I lose the weapon too? 2)What happens if my G.R. equipped with an Improvised Flamethrower is hit from long range? Thanx

The weapon the Ghoul is "using" is still possessed by the Ghoul's employer (card text). > 2)What happens if my G.R. equipped with an Improvised Flamethrower is hit > from long range? Moot. Retainers cannot equip. If a retainer employed by the bearer of an Improvised Flamethrower is hit with ranged damage at long range, nothing happens to the IF nor to the minion holding it. -- LSJ (vte...@white-wolf.com) V:TES Net.Rep for White Wolf, Inc.

>===== Original Message From "Cartman" <federi...@libero.it> ===== >1)If the opposing vamp kills my Ghoul Ret. equipped with a weapon, do I lose >the weapon too? The Ghoul Retainer is never 'equipped' with the weapon. he merely gets to use it if the minion bearing it isn't using it. >2)What happens if my G.R. equipped with an Improvised Flamethrower is hit >from long range? He takes an amount of damage equal to the R damage of the strike targetting him, i guess. the flamethrower will not blow up (unless the minion also takes damage at long range from the opposing minion. environmental damage, eg: carrion crows, will not set it off). A Ghoul Retainer is never considered the "bearer" of the weapon, he merely uses it if it's lying around unwanted by it's bearing minion. so even if the minion equipped with (and thus 'bearing') the improvised flamethrower isn't using it, if he, the minion, is hit with damage at range (from the opposing minion), the flamethrower explodes, as per card text. 'bearer' always refers to the minion equipped with the equipment, not any retainers he/she has. 'Minions' are allies and vampires. 'Retainers' are not minions. hope that helps clear things up. salem.
