Hi, Can Infernal Servitor (recruited at superior) pay blood costs of cards? She is lacking the usual "Any cost in blood is paid with her life" text, but is this rules text or reminder text? Thanks, Seamus. Infernal Servitor, Ally, 1 pool, Daimoinon/infernal, R2 , [HttB:R2] Unique demon with 2 life, 1 strength, 3 bleed. Requires an infernal vampire. [dai] Move the servitor to the ready region when recruited. Remove her from the game if she successfully performs an action (after resolution) or if you control no infernal vampires. [DAI]: As above, and the servitor may play cards requiring Daimoinon [dai] or Obfuscate [obf] as a vampire.

In these cases, the ally is treated as a vampire for all effects generated by the play of the card, including duration effects (like "for the remainder of combat"). The ally's life represents his blood (to pay costs, for example). Any blood he gains or loses as a vampire equates to a gain or loss of life for the ally. For purposes of that card, the ally has a capacity of 1 by default (for use if the card requires an older vampire or a vampire of a given capacity). If the ally gains life in excess of his capacity, it doesn't drain off, and if the effect inflicts aggravated damage on the ally, he burns life as normal. However, if the effect would send the ally to torpor, then he is burned instead. The ally is treated as a vampire only for the effect generated from playing the card. In particular, the ally is not treated as a vampire for effects the card has from being in play (like "the vampire with this card" effects). [ quoted text not captured ]
