Tangle Atropos Hand Question

Tangle Atropos' Hand [LoB:R] Cardtype: Action Modifier Cost: 1 blood Discipline: Temporis/Potence Only usable when a minion is attempting to block. [pot] Cancel the action and untap the acting minion. (The blocking minion is not tapped.) [tem] As [pot] above, and take the action card, if any, back into your hand (discard afterward). [TEM] As [tem] above, and this vampire gets +1 stealth on his or her next action this turn. I have several questions regarding this card and i hope you can help me in this regard. Question #1: In the TEM application, if i were for example to bleed with Legal Manipulations could i play the same card or even bleed again for that matter? Does the cancelled action count as your use of the bleed action for that turn? Question #2: If i were to use a different action after playing TEM version of this card, and were blocked again and i played this TAP (Tangle Atropos Hand) at Sup would my next action be at +1 stealth only or at +2? Is it cumulative? Question#3 If my TAP was hit by a DI(direct intervention) i wouldn't be able to play it again as its an action modifier right? Thanks for any help you can give

Though making it again doesn't violate the NRA rule. 1/ you can bleed again, even with the same card 2/ No, the stealth is only gained on the next action. The second TAP gives +1 stealth to the 3rd action, the first TAP gave +1 stealth on the 2nd action only. 3/ No, you can play only 1 given action modifier per action.

You can't bleed again if you were blocked (because successful block is the resolution of the action) or if you successfully performed a bleed action. Tangle Atropos' Hand, on the other side, cancels the action before resolution, so it doesn't trigger the NRA.

See [LSJ 20070526] for a similar issue (same usage of the word "next"). > blackday wrote: > Question#3 If my TAP was hit by a DI(direct intervention) i wouldn't be able to play it again as its an action modifier right? > > Thanks for any help you can give > I guess "TAP" refers to Tangle Atropos' Hand. Yes. Rulebook 1.6.3.2

Without "yes" or "no" : You played one Tangle Atropos' Hand this action, so you can't play a second one.
