Ally Actions

I gues I never thought of it but since an Ally is a Minion, can an Ally play an Action, Equipment, or Retainer card OR call a referendum if there is no requirements? Can swap equipment as well?

Rulebook 6.1 > > Instead of taking a default action, a ready minion could play an action card to perform the action indicated on the card. > > To equip with an equipment card from your hand, play the card and tap the acting minion. > > To employ a retainer from your hand, play the card and tap the acting minion. > In case you wondered... > > To recruit an ally from your hand, play the card and tap the acting minion. > But for Political Actions... > > A political action is an action that is used to call a referendum. It has a default +1 stealth and can only be taken by vampires (allies cannot call referendums). > Sabbat. If this vampire's bleed is successful, he laughs manicly and untaps.

And minions you control can "borrow" equipment from other minions you control (it doesn't require to be a vampire). Prince of Paris, France Ratings Coordinator, Rules Director
