[LSJ] Stake covered with the Blood of a Scorpion

Can I combine Blood of the Cobra and Scorpion's Touch with a Melee Weapon, e.g. Wooden Stake? Blood of the Cobra [QUI] Strike: ranged. Play a non-ranged strike that requires Quietus from your hand and use that strike as if it were ranged (if the chosen strike is a hand strike, the hand strike`s damage is not ranged and this strike is not a hand strike). Scorpion's Touch [qui] Strike: make a hand or melee weapon strike and put this card on the opposing minion. The minion with this card gets -1 strength (this does not affect the current strike resolution step). Any vampire may burn this card as a +1 stealth action. A minion may have only one Scorpion`s Touch. [QUI] As above, and the minion with this card burns 1 blood or life during his or her untap phase. Wooden Stake Melee weapon. Strength damage each strike. If more than 1 damage is inflicted on an opposing vampire by this weapon in a given combat, then that vampire is sent into torpor. In that case, this card is transferred to that vampire, and he or she doesn`t untap as normal during the untap phase as long as he or she remains in torpor. -- Regards, Daneel

[ quoted text not captured ] except you'll be putting the Scorpion's Touch on the opposing minion, giving them -1 strength, and the minion with this card burns 1 blood or life during his or her untap phase. Doesn't sound unreasonable. Aside from quietus's issue with everything costing lots to play. -- salem (replace 'hotmail' with 'yahoo' to email)

[RTR 20010710] Can I use Kerrie's ranged strike with Scorpion's Touch at long range ? If I can, is the Scorpion's Touch card put on the opposing minion ? François
