Blood Doll and The Rack clarity.

Can a vamp work a blood doll in torpor? Does a vamp gain from the rack in torpor?

The answer is: cardtext! If the card indicates "ready vampire", then it doesn't work. Otherwise, it works with vampires in torpor (= that are not ready). (That's why it's important to include cardtext in your question). Prince of Paris, France Ratings Coordinator, Rules Director

As LSJ would say: "cardtext". Name: Blood Doll Cardtype: Master Master. Put this card on a vampire you control. During his or her master phase, this vampire's controller may move 1 blood from this vampire to his or her pool or from his or her pool to this vampire. Name: The Rack Cardtype: Master Master: unique location. When this card is played or the controller of this card changes, the controller chooses a ready vampire he or she controls. During the controller's untap phase, the chosen vampire gains 2 blood. A vampire controlled by another Methuselah can steal this location for his or her controller as a action. More explicitely: a Blood Doll can be used to move blood from/to a vampire in torpor. The Rack will give blood to a vampire in torpor.
