Can't get to the white wolf site this morning, but I was looking at blanket of night and wondered: [OBT] Only usable by a vampire other than the acting minion when a minion attempts to block an acting minion you control. Tap this modifying vampire to cause the block to fail; that blocking minion cannot attempt to block this action again. Can a tapped vampire use Blanket of Night? Just seems to match the wording on Cloak the Gathering which is usable by another tapped vampire: [OBF] Usable by a ready vampire other than the acting minion. The acting minion gets +1 stealth. -- Aaron The Nosferatu Stuff

Yes and No. You can play it when tappped, but it will have no effect. You must tap the vampire to gain the effect. See the second sentence, "Tap ... to cause", If you do not tap there is no to cause. > Just seems to match the wording > on Cloak the Gathering which is usable by another tapped vampire: > > [OBF] Usable by a ready vampire other than the acting minion. The acting > minion gets +1 stealth. Cloak does not require you to tap to gain the effect. In general, all action modifiers are played by tapped minions. If an action modifier requires you to tap to gain its effects, they you must be untapped to play it. There are four that require you to tap to gain their effects: Hidden Lurker Blanket of Night Malleable Visage Mask of a Thousand Faces. Carpe noctem.
