Stealth is never cancelled. Stealth gained will remain throughout the action (until it either resolves successfully or is ultimately blocked by a vampire with at least as much intercept as the current stealth level of the action). pg. 28: "Increased stealth ... return[s] to normal *after* the action is resolved." (Emphasis mine) > >Also, is everything equipment, or are vehicles and weapons different category? >I specifically want to know if you can steal or destroy vehicles with steal/ >destroy cards? Everything with an equipment symbol on it (the little gun) is Equipment. Some Equipment are Weapons. Some Equipment are Vehicles. Some Weapons are Melee Weapons. Some Weapons are Guns. The Zip Gun is also equipment, weapon, and gun (card text). You may destroy any of these with a strike: destroy equipment. You may only steal/destroy the equipment which are also Weapons with a strike: steal/destory Weapon. -- ----- L. Scott Johnson (lsc...@crl.com) Graphics Specialist and Jyhad Rules' Monger

Hi, I have couple of question regarding the rules as we seem to have lot of people interpreting them differently. First, in case of stealth vs intercept, if you have a vampire intercepting some action and this vampire fails to intercept and another one wants to attempt to do so, do all the stealths and intercepts played so far cancel each other, or does the vampire continues his/her action at the accumulated stealth? Also, is everything equipment, or are vehicles and weapons different category? I specifically want to know if you can steal or destroy vehicles with steal/ destroy cards? Thanks, [ quoted text not captured ]

To be clear, the intercept is retained until the action is over as well. A attempts a bleed B blocks A goes to +1 stealth. B gets +1 intercept with Enhanced Senses (inferior) A goes to +2 stealth. C gets +2 intercept with Enhanced Senses (superior) and blocks. At this point, B still has +1 intercept. A and C get into combat. A takes the Form of Mist, continuing the action at +3 stealth (total). B gets +2 intercept with The Spirit's Touch B gets +3 intercept with Eagle's Sight and blocks. -- L.

The stealth affects the action minion, so it carries over. The intercept affects the blocking minion, so the first minion's intercept doesn't help the second. >Also, is everything equipment, or are vehicles and weapons different category? >I specifically want to know if you can steal or destroy vehicles with steal/ >destroy cards? Vehicles and weapons are subcategories of equipment. Steal/Destroy equipment can get any of them. Steal weapon (Fast Hands) can only steal weapons and does not affect other equipment, including vehicles. Curt Adams (curt...@aol.com)

Stealth and intercept remains on the minion until the action resolution is complete. So the vampire continues his action at the accumulated stealth. >Also, is everything equipment, or are vehicles and weapons different category? >I specifically want to know if you can steal or destroy vehicles with steal/ >destroy cards? Everything (here) is equipment. You can steal/destroy vehicles as well as guns with a strike: steal equipment or a strike: destroy equipment. -- "Live Life with Heart." Alan Kwan kw...@cs.cornell.edu
