[LSJ] Decapitate

Is it allowed to play Decapitate at superior after Rotschreck? Ignorance is bliss. Cypher, Matrix

No. Rötschreck ends combat before sending the vampire to torpor. Prince of Paris, France Ratings Coordinator, Rules Director

No, as rotschreck states : combat ends. This Vampire is tapped and sent to torpor. So no combat cards after rotschreck (except psyche! and Telepathic tracking, which are combat cards played outside of combat, as stupid as it is ). See: rotschreck and amaranth : groups.google.com/group/rec.games.trading-cards.jyhad/browse_thread/thread/7900971cd0f78f9a/5c650e9d3cd523ad?lnk=gst&q=lsj+%3A+rotschreck+%2B+decapitate#5c650e9d3cd523ad Mogao si kod nas da pitas Edit: Beaten by the crafty prince of Paris!

That means that it can be played in the same window as Psyche! is played? Or not? And why? Ignorance is bliss. Cypher, Matrix

Because combat has ended, and you cannot play combat cards outside of combat. It is the same as amaranth, who can be used at any time during combat,(after taste, bla,bla,bla as long as the oposing vampire ends in torpor), i have given you the link for that ruling. Psyche! and telepathic tracking are exception to the general rules for combat cards, as they are combat cards played out of combat (per LSJ ruling). ( see Marthe Dizier + Psyche ruling i have posted in our forums. : groups.google.com/group/rec.games.trading-cards.jyhad/browse_thread/thread/fc4e2a4302ad228a/9353eaf789b5e33a?lnk=gst&q=Marthe+dizier+psyche#9353eaf789b5e33a) Edit: found LSJ ruling on that question : no, you cannot play decapitate/amaranth, combat ends immediately : groups.google.com/group/rec.games.trading-cards.jyhad/browse_thread/thread/d3742dd5bdb5087a/161d8d36a430af7f?lnk=gst&q=rotschreck+decapitate#161d8d36a430af7f
