Just a couple of questions for the rulemongers out there. 1) Let's say that during the course of a game Vampire X equips with some equipment and has Fame placed on him/her. Later in the game another player brings out from his/her uncontrolled region Vampire X. Both players contest for a period of time but in the end the player who brought out Vampire X wins the contest. Vampire X is flipped over for that player. Question: First, is Vampire X tapped or untapped after being flipped over and into play? Secondly, does the Fame and the equipment from the other copy of Vampire X get placed onto this copy? or are those items/Fame simply discarded by the player who lost the contest? 2) My playgroup has had some questions as to the timing of cards such as Pulled Fangs. Let's say for example that in combat Vampire A strikes for 1 hand damage while Vampire B strikes for 1 hand damage. During strike resolution Vamp A prevents the 1 damage while Vamp B takes 1 damage. Question: Assuming that Vamp B does not inflict any damage to Vamp A (even with additional strikes) is Vamp A allowed to play Pulled Fangs since it did more damage at close and also because Vamp B failed to prevent the damage during the strike resolution phase in which it took its 1 point of damage? In other words, is Vamp B allowed to prevent damage later for a strike after that particular strike's resolution phase has passed? Thanks in advance... Alex

Untapped (Section 15. 2nd paragraph). The latter (Section 15. 2nd paragraph). > 2) My playgroup has had some questions as to the timing of cards such as > Pulled Fangs.

You cannot prevent damage that has finished resolving. -- L.
