Faerie Wards and Member of Entourage works or have ability against actions that are specified as "directed at you". What does it means? Is it only about actions directed at player or also card and minions he controls? Personally I thought it works only on actions directed at player but lot of people interpreted it different way.

Also cards he controls.

[ quoted text not captured ] Or in his hand, crypt, library or uncontrolled area, if I am correct. And, probably, but less interesting, counters on cards controlled by him / in his uncontrolled area. And, absolutely uninteresting, cards he his contesting (regarding Clio's Gift at TEM ).

[ quoted text not captured ] Just to help the original poster, the 'directed at you' clauses are so that *your* minions can't use them on directed actions directed at *other* methuselahs (or cards they control). For example, if your prey is taking a bleed action against their prey (which is still a directed action), you can't make the action fail by playing a Faerie Wards, because it's not directed *at you*. But Faerie Wards can be used when your prey Bum's Rushes your Kiasyd, or tries to steal your Powerbase Montreal, or bleeds you backwards with a kindred spirits. -- salem

Just to be sure: this applies also to Ponticulus? Unique wraith with 1 life. 0 strength, 0 bleed. Ponticulus cannot take actions or have or use equipment. He gets +1 intercept during (D) actions against you. He may tap to give any Tremere +1 intercept. He is immune to non-aggravated damage. So if someone rushes one of my vamps, he may block? My apologies if this question has already been answered..

[ quoted text not captured ] Yes, Ponticulus can block an action directed at one of your minions, for the reason given by LSJ.

[ quoted text not captured ] Is this clearly stated in the rulebook somewhere? I remember I had problems finding it.

[ quoted text not captured ] I think it would be great if it was clarified in the rulebook.
