couple of questions that popped up last night

1) A minion has Pier 13 Baltimore equipped and is sent to torpor. Can that minion equip during the influence phase? Pier 13 says that the equipping is not an action (so that precludes the rule about minions not taking actions in torpor). Since we figured that the effect "just happens" since there is nothing on the card stating which state the vampire needs to be in (ready, controlled, etc), we let the minion equip. 2) Vamps A and B are in combat and there's a Trap in play. Vamp A has a Crimson Sentinel and hits Vamp B, sending B into torpor. But B play an Undead Persistence. Combat continues for 3 more rounds, with A hitting B each round with the Crimson Sentinel. Does the Sentinel gain a counter each time it hits Vamp B even though Vamp B isn't losing blood (it has none to lose)? The Sentinel is still doing damage, but the opposing vamp just doesn't have any blood to lose. I'm not sure what would happen here. Thanks, John

The Sentinel's card text doesn't mention blood loss at all; it is only concerned about damage being successfully inflicted. -- LSJ (vte...@white-wolf.com) V:TES Net.Rep for White Wolf, Inc.
