Reverand Blackwood Question

Hi folks... Reverand Blackwood's ability reads that he inflicts +1 damage with any strike card that requires Thaumaturgy. Question is, if you do a theft of vitae does the the strike now cause 1 damage and 2 blood drain? Would the damage or the blood drain resolve first? (I imagine that is the good Reverand's choice?).

No. There is no damage in a steal blood strike to modify, so the modifier cannot apply to it. -- James Coupe | PGP Key 0x5D623D5D "What's wrong with wanting more? If you can fly -- then soar!
