Ignore the Searing Flames and Concordance/Heart of Darkness

Suppose my Vampire treats agg damage as normal damage. Can I use Ignore the Searing Flames to prevent such damage?

IMHO Treating aggravated damage as normal does not change the damage itself being aggravated. -- Bye, Daneel

[ quoted text not captured ] Yes you can use it ... treating aggravated as normal doesn't come into effect until strike resolution when you're burning blood to prevent damage. Thus at the start of strike resolution you play ignore the searing flames to prevent all damage from an aggravated strike. D

What about superior Ignore the Searing Flames? Am I correct in assuming that it is useless if you have a Concordance on you? (I.e. you can burn a blood to be immune to all agg damage, but you treat agg damage as normal damage, which you are not immune to)... Also, just to be sure, superior ItSF can "prevent" damage that is unpreventable, correct? It doesn't technically prevent the damage, but you are immune to the damage and do not have to burn blood to heal it, right?

No. Immunity means you ignore the aggravated damage. > Also, just to be sure, superior ItSF can "prevent" damage that is > unpreventable, correct?

The damage is not prevented. It is applied and then ignored (since you are immune to it). -- LSJ (vtesr...@TRAPwhite-wolf.com) V:TES Net.Rep (Remove spam trap to reply).
