[LSJ] Some rules questions

1. If Joaquina Amaya plays Jack of Both Sides, does she get her +1 stealth bonus for equipping? 2. If a Ravnos was blocked by a Waked vampire and played superior Mirror Image to end combat and continue the action, can the Waked vampire block the action again? Does he need another Wake to block again or not? 3. A vampire declares bleed action, and all players refuse to block it. Then the directed player bounces bleed to another player. Can he block the action now or not? Does the bleed redirection create a new opportunity to block after all players refused to block the action? 4. Philippe Rigaud's text states "When any older vampires are in torpor that Phillipe may diablerize, he must attempt a diablerie action (unless he must hunt)". If he also has Talons of the Dead "All directed actions cost this vampire an additional blood" and must attempt a diablerie, can his controller just refuse to pay the price to make the action fizzle or not? Thanks in advance for your help. Yours, Ector

If a vampire waked during an action he can block and/or play reaction cards for the whole duration of the action. > 3.

No, you can never refuse to pay a price. If you attempt an action you have to pay as much of the cost as you can. And he must attempt the action so you also must pay the price. Mind that if he manages to spend all his blood during the action (e.g by playing stealth) the action will fizzle, because he cannot pay the cost. -- johannes walch
