Timing of presses and Press-step effects.

Shawn, When exactly can press-step effects (like Pulled Fangs) be used? 1. Before any presses are announced. 2. After all presses are completed (neither minion presses or one of them fails to respond to a press). or 3. Any time during the press step. For instance, could I withhold using Pulled Fangs until I was certain that no new round would be begun (If I was wanting to used Growing Fury first, for example, to burn the opposing vampire rather than just send him to torpor). Or could I use Fangs as a defensive measure (say, if a Tremere stole some blood while I simply used hands for one damage, could I then wait until the Tremere pressed before playing Fangs)? -- L.

Can you then use PF to do an additional aggravated damage? It seems as though you should be able to, but if PF is played during presses, then the vamp goes to torpor before the press stage. Gary S.
