[lsj] Ghoul Retainers and "..each strike" weapons

Most (all?) weapons these days say how much damage they do "each strike". Ghoul retainers seem to be able to use them, but retainer damage isn't strike damage, it's environmental. does a ghoul retainer just sort of pretend like he's using the weapon as a strike, so you know how much damage it does? if so, can you burn a garotte your Ghoul retainer used to burn the opposing vampire if it went to torpor from the garotte? do you get a press if your ghoul retainer whacks someone with a meat hook? if the opposing vampire goes to torpor from, say, an agg strike from your vampire, while your vampire's ghoul retainer "strikes" with a garotte, can you burn the garrotte to burn the opposing vamp? thanks, salem.

He inflicts the amount of damage he would inflict if he were striking with it as a minion. > if so, can you burn a garotte your Ghoul retainer used to burn the > opposing vampire if it went to torpor from the garotte? No. It isn't a strike. > do you get a press if your ghoul retainer whacks someone with a meat > hook?
