[LSJ] Three questions, i pray thee

The most important one first : - How EXACTLY works this damn Game of Malkav ? Come on, the printed text is definitively confusing (does the "he or she" refers to methuselah who have 1 less point or what...darn) The second : - Can i play more than 1 copy of the same combat card in a round ? (like, 2 Thin Blood before the range) And third : - if i consider that the answer of the second question would be right, could i play several Aids from bat and/or Unflinching persistance to have as many manoeuver ? Thanks, Franck from the Marseille Community.

Each Methuselah (including you) holds a hand out with the chosen number of counters in it. (All Methuselahs)Reveal the choices simultaneously. Each Methuselah (e.g. Methuselah A) gains the amount of pool he or she (Methuselah A) chose unless another Methuselah (e.g. Methuselah B) chose exactly one less than he or she did, in which case, he or she (Methuselah A) burns that amount of pool. > > The second : > > - Can i play more than 1 copy of the same combat card > in a round ? Yes. > (like, 2 Thin Blood before the range) No. Card text. > And third : > > - if i consider that the answer of the second question would be right, could > i play several Aids from bat and/or Unflinching persistance to have as many > manoeuver ? Aid From Bats: no. [6.4.2] covers this explicitly. Unflinching Persistence: yes (assuming your opponent keeps maneuvering back). -- LSJ (vte...@white-wolf.com) V:TES Net.Rep for White Wolf, Inc.

No one has 1 less counters than 1 (which is always safe) so that person gains 1 pool The person who picked 2 counters loses 2 pool as someone picked 1 less counters than 2 The person (you) who picked 3 counters loses 3 pool because someone picked 2 The person who picked 5 counters gains 5 pool as no one had 4 counters. Hope this helps. > The second : > - Can i play more than 1 copy of the same combat card > in a round ? (like, 2 Thin Blood before the range) So long as there are no restrictions on the combat card (1/round, 1/combat) > And third : > - if i consider that the answer of the second question would be right, could > i play several Aids from bat and/or Unflinching persistance to have as many > manoeuver ? Aid from bats: no. Aid from bats commits you to a strike and you cannot play more aid from bats until you gain a new strike (new round, additional). Since maneuvers only come prior to the first strike aid from bats can only gain you one maneuver. Unflinching persistance: go to town. Play as many as you like. However as noted in card text the prevention is ony good forthe current round, and of course you cannot cancel your own maneuvers. > Thanks, > Franck from the Marseille Community. -JTP
