Can you have more than one Blood Doll card on the same minion? I was considering that, if this was possible, I might be able to combine this on the same minion with The Rack. This setup would allow me to drain two blood points to my pool each turn.

[ quoted text not captured ] That's perfectly legal, but it's sort of like painting a big target on that vampire's forhead with a caption that says "bait". Hope you plan on putting some combat defense in. I've found that Blood Dolls tend to work best in combat decks because nobody's willing to try to take them out. --------- Paul Schaaf sch...@u.washington.edu

Maybe a Blood Puppy could solve this, but since I can't remember what one is exactly, I can't be sure. Andrea

It is impossible to get multiple master phases (anson and rumours give the ability to play two master cards each master phase. Still, Blood Doll is good enough as is. Blood Puppy is completely distinct (put a blood on puppy, take one off, or burn and take all; your opponents generally burn it as a D action before you can recoup the three you spent on it :( )

It is a per card effect. This is in line with what a Blood Doll is in Vampire-- a person who agrees to be bled regularly by a vampire. Logically there should be no limits on the number of Blood Dolls in a given vampire's herd. Joseph W. Alfred j-al...@uiuc.edu

Blood Doll does not work like the investments. It allows one blood to be moved on or off the vampire during the player's master phase, regardless of anything else that player is doing. So multiple Blood Dolls always stack, regardless of whether you have Anson or a similar effect available.

If one has the ability to play 2 master cards, one may remove up to two blood from either one or two different investments. If one plays an Out of Turn Master, one forfeits one's entire next Master Phase, and may not remove any blood from investments regardless of how many Master cards one has the ability to play.

Tom, Just a quick clarification. By stack, do you mean that multiple Blood Dolls allow multiple blood off the same vamp in the same master phase? I just want to be clear on the ruling. stephen
