Note that Steal Blood is just like any other strike, timing wise: Aleph and Beth are in combat. Aleph steals n blood. Beth srikes for n damage. Strikes resolve: Aleph takes n damage and gains n blood, which he uses to heal the damaged. Note that rulings have flopped about a bit on this issue, but have been stable of late.

Our playing group is in disagreement as to the order of strikes. What is the correct order of: Strike: combat ends : steal blood : dodge : first strike : strike. What other variables are there?
