LSJ: Beatrice Tremblay question

Beatrice Tremblay says: "During your untap phase, another ready imbued you control takes 1 unpreventable damage. +1 bleed." Does "another ready Imbued" mean that if she is *not* ready, the damage will not be inflicted? I think the damage is still inflicted and doesn't care if she's become unready, but maybe the phrase should apply to both ends of the ability... Josh ask another ready judge

Alexandra sets precedent on this. There "another ready Toreador" means "another Toreador, i.e. not Alexandra, who is ready" and not "both Alexandra and some other Toreador, who are both ready." And Alexandra can untap other vampires while in torpor herself. e.g. a ruling at <http://groups.google.com/group/rec.games.trading- cards.jyhad/msg/39e639f75959bc73> shows Alexandra can untap others while in torpor herself. Alexandra's card text: "Once during your turn, you may tap or untap another ready Toreador. +2 bleed." By extension this would be read as "another Imbued, i.e. not Beatrice, who is ready." -- James Coupe PGP Key: 0x5D623D5D YOU ARE IN ERROR.

Correct.
