Suppose that in the most wondrous of occasions, I'm packing a Redline and someone's Genina (rightly) diablerizes a vampire. According to 6.5.6 of the LoB rulebook, if the blood hunt is successful, the diablerist is burned. However, Genina's special says that she *doesn't* burn, but goes to torpor instead. Does Genina's special override the burning that follows the successful bloodhunt? I mean, does a "burning" take place at all? If a "burning" does, then I should be able to play a Redline before Genina's special kicks in, thereby getting control of her. If no "burning" takes place, then Redline shouldn't be playable, right? Can anyone confirm/correct this? Cry Wolf Relevant text: Redline Master: Out-of-turn Only usable when a blood hunt referendum passes and would burn a vampire controlled by another Methuselah. That vampire is not burned. Put this card on that vampire and take control of him or her. This vampire is independent. This vampire gets one optional press when in combat with a Camarilla vampire and can enter combat with any Camarilla vampire as a +1 stealth (D) action. Burn this card if the vampire changes sects. Genina: Ability: Red List: If a blood hunt is successfully called on Genina, she goes to torpor instead of being burned. Genina gets +1 stealth on diablerie actions and on undirected actions.
