LSJ: Lunatic Eruption Q

If a vampire with a Lunatic Eruption on it untaps after taking its mandatory enter-combat action, is it free to take other actions, or would it have to take another enter-combat action? (Under tournament no-repeat-action rules, of course, it would be unable to do so and "stuck", if so.) Thanks, Josh

It's already satisfied the requirement to enter combat during its minion phase. It doesn't have to do it again. -- James Coupe PGP Key: 0x5D623D5D EBD690ECD7A1F She twirled a lock of hair around her forefinger and smiled B457CA213D7E6 faintly.

It doesn't have to do it again. And, indeed, he cannot do it again. The During X, do Y template gives him just 1 enter-combat-via-LE action per minion phase. -- LSJ (vte...@white-wolf.com) V:TES Net.Rep for White Wolf, Inc.

It doesn't have to do it again. Really? So if my vampire with 0 blood hunts, then plays Freak Drive, that vampire is free to take other actions? I'm confident this is not true for hunting, but I'm unclear as to how or why other mandatory actions do not create the same helpless state. - Jason Bell

"A ready vampire with no blood cannot take any action except hunt. Any time during a Methuselah's minion phase that one of her ready untapped vampires is empty (and not otherwise prohibited from hunting), he must hunt immediately, before any other action is taken by any minion." This is "any time", they "must". Thus they end up with must do and (under NRA) can't do -> stand still. -- James Coupe PGP Key: 0x5D623D5D "Surely somewhere out there there's a woman who's EBD690ECD7A1F been sodomized by her father and is capable of B457CA213D7E6 composing a few coherent sentences on the subject." 68C3695D623D5D
