I know I've asked some of these questions before, but I need to be able to show people in my gaming circle the answers to these in print. First, the No Repeated Actions rule says a minion cannot perform the same action twice on your turn. Can the minion use different cards for the same action, i.e. bleed with Social Charm, somehow untap, and bleed again with Legal Manipulations? I say no. What's the official word? Second, Crusade and Praxis Seizure votes. Can Camarilla vampires vote during Crusade votes, and can Sabbat vampires vote during a Praxis Seizure vote? I say yes they can. Again, the official word? Third, a vampire in combat with Immortal Grapple in play cannot strike with weapons of any kind, can they? For instance, Bastard Sword says +1 hand damage. Yet it is a melee weapon, and not allowed by IG. You may only do hand strikes, not weapon strikes, including melee weapon strikes that do damage based on hand damage, correct?

The only way to exclude people from voting based on sect is with Closed Session or the Sabbat votes which specifically state it. Crusades don't and therefor Cam vamps can. > >Third, a vampire in combat with Immortal Grapple in play cannot strike >with weapons of any kind, can they?

Melee weapons do are weapon strikes and IG needs to be a hand strike so, no, melee weapons can't be used under IG. Neither can dodge or S:CE. -- James Coupe (change "nospam" to "obeah" to reply by e-mail) You were my strength when I was weak. You were my voice when I couldn't speak. You were my eyes when I couldn't see. You saw the best there was in me. Lifted me up when I couldn't reach. You gave me faith because you believed. I'm everything I am because you loved me.

No. The "No Repeat Actions" rule prohibts taking two actions of the same *type*, not just of the same name. > Second, Crusade and Praxis Seizure votes.
