I have a question about transfusion and environmental damage. The card text on transfusion seems to imply that the vampire themself must deal the damage to put a transfusion counter on the opposing minion. Would environmental damage from necrosis or groaning corpse work? In the case of necrosis I am assuming that the damage from the strike was prevented. Also, if necrosis was dodged would the environmental damage still hit later or would that be dodged as well? Name: Transfusion [LoB:C] Cardtype: Action Modifier Cost: 1 blood Discipline: Thanatosis/Necromancy [nec] Only usable after a successful action. Add 1 blood to a ready vampire. [thn] As [nec] above, but add 1 life to a ghoul or 1 blood to a ready vampire. [THN] Only usable after combat if this vampire is still ready and successfully inflicted any damage on the opposing minion in that combat. Put a transfusion counter on the opposing minion. If the minion now has 3 of your transfusion counters, burn them all to take control of that minion. Only one Transfusion may be played at superior each turn. Artist: John Bridges Name: Necrosis [LK:4] Cardtype: Combat Discipline: Thanatosis/Potence [pot] Strike: hand strike at +1 damage. [thn] Strike: hand strike at +2 damage. [THN] As [thn] above, and the opposing vampire takes 1 unpreventable environmental damage during the press step this round (only effective if this strike was made at close range). Artist: Javier Santos Name: Groaning Corpse [HttB:C/A2] Cardtype: Combat Cost: X blood Discipline: Thanatosis Only usable before range is determined. [thn] X is the number of Groaning Corpses already played this combat. The opposing minion takes 1 environmental damage each round this combat during normal strike resolution at close range. [THN] As above, but for 2 environmental damage. A vampire can play only one Groaning Corpse at superior each combat.
