Can Final Loosening be played cross-table during a combat? Example: Methuselah A takes an action with a vampire and enters combat with Meth B's blocking vampire. Meth C has a vampire that can validly play Final Loosening. During the combat Meth A plays Taste of Vitae to gain X blood. Could Meth C now play Final Loosening immediately after the Taste, gain one blood and restrict the gain from Taste of Vitae to 1 blood? Final Loosening Type: Reaction Requires: anarch Auspex/Dementation/Fortitude Requires an anarch. [aus] Play when the acting vampire would gain 1 or more blood. The acting vampire and this reacting anarch each gain 1 blood instead. [dem] Gain 4 votes. [for] Only usable when an ally is acting. The action fails and the ally takes 1 damage. Tap this reacting anarch.

[ quoted text not captured ] Just curious - since Taste is played after the press step, if acting minion A and opposing minion B both decline to press, then the combat is over, right? (Barring a Telepathic tracking or some other "continue to a 2nd round" effect). So shouldn't it be legal to play a Final Loosening after a Taste, at least in THIS situation? (no presses to continue, so combat ends?). -AC

[ quoted text not captured ] Taste is played at the end of a round of combat, not after combat. Even if there's no press, you still play Taste while in combat. So you determine presses, then play Taste of Vitae, and then either continue to the next round of combat, or end it. Chris, Thrall of Arika

[ quoted text not captured ] No. Taste is still played in combat.
