Hey there, This is probably a stupid question, but I could'nt find a conclusive answer. How does Yong-Sun's specials (both the basic and the advanced) interact with Imbued? Sabbat Cardinal: As a (D) action, Yong-Sun may burn the top vampire of your prey's crypt. Advanced, Sabbat cardinal: Yong-Sun gets +X bleed, where X is the number of vampires in the target Methuselah's ash heap. Does his special treat the Imbued as normal vampires here, or? Thanks for putting a close to a discussion I'm having with some people on this subject. Greetz Jo

Official (most-recent-printing) card text: Yong-Sun may burn the top card of your prey's crypt as a (D) action So no problem there. > Advanced, Sabbat cardinal: Yong-Sun gets +X bleed, where X is the > number of vampires in the target Methuselah's ash heap. > > Does his special treat the Imbued as normal vampires here, or? No. The basic ability (burn top crypt card) works. But the +X only counts vampires in the ash heap, and won't count imbued (or any other allies, for that matter).

"I was a teenage War Ghoul...." or "Yeah I remember when I was a Shambling Horde, and all the kids picked on me at high school... how could I hurt such a poor misunderstood mob of zombies." Dumbest thing EVER. Re-write card text to "mortal allies". Or even better, "mortal non-Imbued allies". Or just ban the stupid thing. It was printed before Imbued came out, and is even more ridiculous now than it was originally.

I'll reiterate my position: change the way to burn the card. Nobody complains about Pentex Subversion, a very very powerful single vamp hoser, because it can be burned with a reasonable cost and effort. But Memories of Mortality is like a Pentex Subversion that stays and stays and stays... In practise, the burn clause is too much like "let your vamp be diablerized to get rid of this card."

Change the damn card. It's nigh impossible to get rid of, it's way too strong, and worst of all, it's a 'sit back and watch the game played' card. I believe, especially with imbued around now, that it needs changing. Cheers, B

As a wole, the > game is still quite consistent, isn't it ? The card should be changed because it is nigh-unremovable and generates an effect at the extreme end of the sit-and-watch-me-play curve. The thematic dissonance is just icing on the cake. -- Mr. Radiology

I suppose I could change the Master module of every deck to: 5x Wash 5x Sudden Reversal 1x Blood Doll 1x [appropriate] Hunting Ground That might work...

Of course, you would then be totally hosed by the 'Smites - Blood Clots on Callirus, burning off the blood by Thin Blood and the likes, it's like totally vulnerable to one of the main Tier 1 strategies of one of the main Tier 1 clans... :) -- Regards, Daneel
