It takes two (2) points of damage from a stake to paralyze a vampire. 2. Once paralyzed, combat ends immediately. No further strikes are possible. 3. Rescuing a paralyzed vampire from torpor costs no blood from any vampire (Except: self-resue, once untapped, still costs two blood). 4. Multiple paralyzations (not currently possible, but who knows), would not "stack" - a paralyze marker is not cumulative. One rescue would suffice. 5. Fast hands could not be used to retrieve the stake, since combat would have ended. Sorry to burst your bubble. -- L.
