Inspire Greatness

Greets again! Can you play Inspire Greatness on a minion during combat? Inspire Greatness [Action Modifier] Action Modifier [Potence] Potence & [Presence] Presence [1 Blood] Only usable by a ready vampire other than the acting minion. [pot] The acting ally or younger vampire gets +1 strength during this action. [POT] The acting ally or younger vampire gets +2 strength during this action. NC of Hungary ///

But you could play it after a block has been declared, right? Right before combat effectively?

Yes. In the window where you're cycling cards, fishing for stealth, but sadly that Brujah they gave you deck isn't featuring any.

I just now noticed: if you have the proper older vampires, you can play multiple copies of Inspire Greatness on the same minion in an action. (thanks to the "Cloak the Gathering" ruling) 7 strength Arms Dealer, charge!

And Armin Brenner Jann Berger does not pay for them...

(I think it's better with Ossian + Rave)

Would work great with Muddles too especially if you play with Leech+Immortal Grapple. Finnish Politics!

Would there be a window for using inspire greatness on a blood brother ambush, after they're put in play but before they enter combat? Blood Brother Ambush Type: Action Modifier Requires: Brujah antitribu Cost: 2 blood Only usable when an action is blocked. Combat does not occur. Put this card into play. While in play, this card represents an ally with 3 life and 2 strength who can strike for 2R damage; this ally enters combat with the blocking minion. Blood Brothers may play cards requiring basic Potence as a vampire with a capacity of 3. Any cost in blood is paid with life. If a card would give them blood, give them life instead. Burn this card at the end of combat or if the combat is canceled Edit: Thanks Reyda, forgot the acting part! Lidingö Scourge

No, because the Blood Brothers Ambush are absolutely not an "acting minion" (card text on inspire greatness) Imagination is our only weapon in the war against reality -Jules de Gaultier

It means that "inspire Greatness" may beplayed with locked vampires, correct?

Inspire Greatness has the exact same wording as Cloak the Gathering, so the following ruling applies as well: Can be played by a locked vampire.
