d. None of the above. 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.

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.
Tom?
