I keep seeing references to Hidden Lurker as an Action Modifier. In fact, my group played it as such for quite a long time, until we noticed the Action symbol on both the Jyhad and the Vampire versions. Has this been erratated, or am I misreading on this group. Thanks in advance. -Inovia Sil

(and, since the tapping is a special effect and not a cost, it can be used by a tapped vampire) : -Inovia Sil were...@plaza.snu.ac.kr

[ quoted text not captured ] That was fixed, as well. Only untapped vampires can use it, by part of the same errata that makes it an action modifier. Errataed card: Hidden Lurker. Action Modifier. Obfuscate. Usable only by an untapped vampire other than the acting minion after the acting minion is blocked and combat is over. Tap this vampire. This vampire now enters combat with the blocking minion. The first round of combat, the blocking minion cannot use any strikes. Superior: As above, but with an optional press. -- L.

The effect would continue (since it is an action modifier), but it wouldn't apply - since (by card text on Dawn Operation) it only applies to the *resulting* combat - that is, the combat resulting from the block.
