QN: Master disciplines...

Can master card: disciplines be played on uncontrolled vampires? and if so, it would mean that for every master discipline you play on that vampire, you need to transfer one extra pool to it, right? and then...can you play them on OTHER ppl's uncontrolled vampires? the card (jyhad, i am not sure about V;tes) says "play on a vampire" please email me a response, i don't get a chance to check this newsgroup too often....thanks, O:) Salem..

No. No cards (or other effects) can target uncontrolled vampires unless explicit card text overrides that. -- L.

An interesting perspective on Discipline Masters is that they can be played on other people's (controlled) vampires. I have used this on a few occasions: you know, all your vamps are already superior in Protean, your predator is playing Malkavain, and you draw a Discipline. What do you do? Don't wait for the discard, bestow it on Aleph; what are the chances _he's_ going to use it against you? ~~~~~~~~~ Whom computers would destroy, they first drive mad ~~~~~~~~~ Timothy Coffman - Computer Engineer, Hermit, Philospher /nick Three Timo...@mail.airmail.net ~~ You can't tell which way the train went by looking at the track ~~~

The card does not specify your vampire. Rory The Ref at refp...@best.com
