Here is the situation: I use Wolf claws to inflict Ag. Damage. My opponent plays a Skin of Rock (or Skin of Steel). Does that card prevent the Ag. Damage? Or does it go through and he only can prevent normal damage? Thanks, Keven Murphy xav...@enc-1.com

Assuming your hand damage is only 1 or 2 (you didn't play Undead Strength with Zac, say) it will prevent it. Prevent Damage will prevent either normal or aggro damage and if a strike does both types of damage and you can only prevent some of it, you can choose which to prevent first. One of the Sabbat cards will only prevent non-aggravated damage at one particular level, and Flesh of Marble won't at inferior. -- James Coupe (remove some crap to reply) Pah!!

Or does it go through and he only can prevent normal damage? Thanks, Keven Murphy xav...@enc-1.com This one is easy. Damage prevention cards can prevent normal or aggravated damage. In addition, if both types are dealt (say 1 point of normal and 2 points of aggravated as when the cheesy Zip Gun/Dragons's Breath Rounds), the vampire that played the damage prevention may choose which type of damage to prevent first. In the case cited, a Skin of Rock could be used to prevent the 2 aggravated damage butn not the 1 normal damage. Only a card that specifically prohibits preventing agg damage performs like that. See Resilience for an example. -- ---------------------------------------------------------- Life is Good thanks to God Quicksilver
