The requirement (as with clan-requiring Hunting Grounds or Animalism retainers) is only to bring the card into play. You must take the action with a 5-or-less vampire; the card is attached to that vampire. After that, you can stack Discipline cards to your heart's content. >Patrizia can employ a retainer in your ash heap. > >Is she limited to employing only those dead retainers which she could have >employed when they were alive? If I remember the text correctly: As an action, Patrizia can employ a retainer in your ash heap. She still pays the employment cost as normal, but she burns one additional blood. Hrm. That IS fuzzy. By 'cost' I'd take to mean Discipline or Clan requirements in addition to blood (No Charnas the Imp for HER), but it's easy to see 'cost' as referring to blood cost only. Also, the text says nothing about what happens if the retainer costs pool, as the Corpse Minion does. I assume pool cost is paid as normal.

Atonement (which, by the way, looks like a Wonderful card) says "Requires a ready vampire with a capacity below 6." Does this mean: a. Only a vampire of capacity 5 or lower can take this action, but it will remain on him until removed. b. Only a vampire of capacity 5 or lower can take this action, and if his capacity increases to 6 he will lose this card. c. Any vampire may take this action, but if at any time you no longer possess a ready vampire with capacity below 6, it is discarded. [ quoted text not captured ]

Patrizia "can employ a retainer in your ash heap." This is treated exactly like a normal employment action, except that you are choosing the retainer card from your ash heap instead of your hand (and are paying 1 additional blood). Thus, she must still meet clan/discipline requirements. Yes, this is different from most "resurrect a retainer" effects.
