Toreador A (Methuselah #1) starts an action.
Methuselah #2 has a minion attempt to block.
Methuselah #1 then has Toreador B assume the action of Toreador A using
Mask of 1000 Faces. Toreador B has been granted Aching Beauty.
Q1: Is Methuselah #2 still technically 'blocking' the new Toreador and
thus lose a pool to the Aching Beauty? Or could the minion of Meth #2
elect not to block the action at this point.
I am pretty sure the pool is still lost but I would still like to hear
exactly why it works that way.
Q2: Different subject: What damage counts towards playing a Disarm or a
Pulled Fangs during combat? Retainers, Carrion Crows, Drawing out the
Beast? Or is it simply my minion strike versus yours?

Quick note:
Been thinkin' I have. When 7/7 first came out I was very dubious about
the 'D' action on bleed action cards being Prey only (except for a few
cards).
I have officially changed my position to being in favor of this (not
that anyone cares of course :). The problem, as I see it, is that
there should be cards that give balance to the cross table bleed.
i.e. The ability an action card gives a minion to cross-table bleed
should be factored into the cost and power of the card. Kindred
Spirits is an excellent example of this balance - while giving a GtU
card the extra benefit of cross-table bleed (in addition to its already
great characteristics) is unbalancing and unnecessary.
Anyways - I believe in admitting when I am wrong, so here is my public
endorsement of the official treatment on this ambiguity that existed
prior to 7/7. (That is not to say that I will ever agree with the 7/7
changes to the Tomb III or RtI (I won't)).
