Mask of 1,000 faces?

I was wondering if someone could give a play example of how this card works. We have been having trouble agreeing on how it is played... Any help would be greatly appreciated. Chris rho...@medicine.wustl.edu

Gideon Fontaine (PRE) attempts a Social Charm. Don Cruez (lots) attempts to block. Agrippina (OBF pot), who is untapped, plays Mo1000F at superior (gaining +1 stealth). She taps, Gideon untaps, and now Agrippina is attempting a Social Charm at + 1 stealth (even though she cannot play the card.) There is a restriction that a minion prohibited from taking an action will fail if attempting it. This applies to things like Assamites diablerizing. Curt Adams (curt...@aol.com)

This is the point my group is disagreeing on. Some say that the same person is still blocking and others say that since a different vampire has taken over the action, someone else needs to block...

Yes, unless Aggripina plays more stealth. >Or, has Aggripina given him the slip >and now he would have to Wake to block or someone else would have to >block? The ONLY way that Aggripina has given him the slip is that she has added +1 stealth. If the Mask is played at normal it doesn't even give that. >This is the point my group is disagreeing on. Some say that >the same person is still blocking and others say that since a different >vampire has taken over the action, someone else needs to block... Since Don hasn't successfully blocked, he wouldn't be tapped anyway. So there's nothing getting in the way of blocking anybody. But, in any case, there's nothing in the Mask that affect vampires attempting to block. I believe you block actions rather than vampires anyway. Curt Adams (curt...@aol.com)

Don Cruez is still _attempting_ to block. Since Aggripina got +1 stealth, Don would have to come up with some intercept to be able to successfully block. : If he has a Sport Bike does he continue to be able to block it? If he uses the bike for the +1 intercept, then he would counteract the +1 stealth from Aggie and he would be much closer to successfully blocking. : Or, has Aggripina given him the slip and now he would have to Wake to block Well, if he has no intercept, she has given him the slip. But he certainly has the opportunity to play intercept as he is still attempting to block. And he probably wouldn't have to Wake because you only tap once a block is successful. If an untapped minion attempts to block and fails, he/she remains untapped and you are given the opportunity to attempt to block with someone else. : or someone else would have to block? Only if Don can't get any more intercept. And if the minion that used the mask hadn't been able to get any stealth then Don would probably successfully block. : This is the point my group is disagreeing on. Some say that : the same person is still blocking and others say that since a different : vampire has taken over the action, someone else needs to block... The same person is still blocking. No doubt. and don't forget that if someone else decides they'd like to block, the original blocker does not tap due to blocking. -James

Some say that >the same person is still blocking and others say that since a different >vampire has taken over the action, someone else needs to block... If Don Cruez has sufficient intercept, he is still the blocker (and cannot choose to cease the block attempt until the acting minion's stealth exceeds his intercept (or until the block otherwise fails - like with a Day Operation, of if the new actor has an Incriminating Video of Cruez)). If he (at any point) doesn't have sufficient intercept, then any of your minions (including Cruez) may attempt to block (by matching intercept to the acting minion's stealth), as per the usual procedure. -- L.
