Some rules questions

1- Is Brujah Debate cummulative ? 2a- With Ancient Influence, do each methuselahs have to burn 5 pool, even if they don't have a vampire in play ? 2b- If I have only a vampire of 3 cap, do I lose 2 pool ? 3- Genevieve has an additionnal vote for each political action. Does it mean that she has 2 votes in the prisci vote and 1 vote in the main referendum ? 4a- Does Entombment works at long range ? 4b- And Coma ? 5a- Can I redraw to my normal hand size before playing a Voter Captivation ? 5b- And Cryptic Rider ? Thanks for your time, Rafid

I think the gaining and losing of pool are mutually exclusive. > 2b- If I have only a vampire of 3 cap, do I lose 2 pool ? That would be your net. +3 - 5 = -2 > 3- Genevieve has an additionnal vote for each political action. Does > it mean that she has 2 votes in the prisci vote and 1 vote in the main > referendum ? No. 1 vote for the Prisci subvote and 1 regular vote. So she could vote "No" for the Prisci subvote (determining how the 3 Prisci votes will be cast) and "Yes" during regular voting, for example. > 4a- Does Entombment works at long range ? No. No strike cards work at long range unless stated otherwise in the card text. > 4b- And Coma ? No, see above. > 5a- Can I redraw to my normal hand size before playing a Voter > Captivation ? Yes because it is after the referrendum phase of the Political Action. > 5b- And Cryptic Rider ? Yes, see above. > Thanks for your time, NP, though, IANLSJ.

Yes. > 2b- If I have only a vampire of 3 cap, do I lose 2 pool ? Yes. (You gain 3 then burn 5, net loss of 2.) > 3- Genevieve has an additionnal vote for each political action. Does > it mean that she has 2 votes in the prisci vote and 1 vote in the main > referendum ? 1 prisci vote, 1 main referendum vote. Any votes usable in the priscus vote have to say in large flashing neon letters (or equivalent thereof) "in the Prisci vote". > 4a- Does Entombment works at long range ? > No. All strikes work at close range unless otherwise stated. > 4b- And Coma ? No, as per 4a. > 5a- Can I redraw to my normal hand size before playing a Voter > Captivation ? > 5b- And Cryptic Rider ? Actually, I can find no mention in the new Rules Book regarding not replacing any cards during a political action. (You could always replace the card you used to call it, whilst your were still seeing if you were being blocked, but other cards thrown down during the referendum couldn't be replaced.) Potentially, it was dropped because with the limitation to 1 political action card for a vote per Methuselah, the potential for abuse of replacing is greatly lessened. I don't recall, however, seeing it mentioned as over-turned by the Rules Team. -- James Coupe | PGP Key 0x5D623D5D "Steve: Yeah, well that's one of the advantages of being a sad, lonely fairy, I guess.

My apologies. I can now see that political action cards burned during a referendum for a vote aren't replaced. I still can't see anything about action modifiers or similar.

I think the gaining and losing of pool are mutually >exclusive. <PEDANT> You mean 'independent,' not 'mutually exclusive.' If the events were mutually exclusive, only one of the pair would happen, but that is not the case with AInf. The pool gain event and the pool loss event are independent -- it doesn't matter to one what the status of the other is. </PEDANT> But we know that's what you meant. gomi -- "I wanted to feel that tug of a body as it jerks and kicks while I hold the handle and the life erupts from it like water from the cold springs of the Eastern Mountains.

[ quoted text not captured ] Yes. You must, in fact, unless you have more than one at the "highest" capacity. -- LSJ (vte...@white-wolf.com) V:TES Net.Rep for White Wolf, Inc. [ quoted text not captured ]
