Nope. Card text on Rigor Mortis says "cannot use any additional strikes this round". You're still allowed to GAIN the strikes, you just aren't allowed to strike with them. -- Derek ...Vampire Squirrel has come to bite your nuts!

Yes, since the dodge comes with a mandatory prohibited additional strike. -- LSJ (vte...@white-wolf.com) V:TES Net.Rep for White Wolf, Inc.

[ quoted text not captured ] The prohibition on strikes prevents you from using strike effects (.44 magnum, hands, Aid from Bats, etc.) The prohibition on additional strikes prevents you from using additional strike effects (Blur, Acrobatics, Jacko's special, etc.) Similarly, a prohibition on presses would prevent you from using presses (Hawg, Boxed In, etc.) [ quoted text not captured ]
