Rotschreck and Blood of Acid question

Is Rotschreck playable on a Vampire that is using the superior form of Blood of Acid. Blood of Acid card text: Only usable at close range before strikes are chosen. During strike resolution, the opposing minion takes an amount of damage equal to the damage he or she successfully inflicts. SUPERIOR- As above, but the damage is aggravated. Is the vampire who is playing BOA attempting to use aggravated damage, thus being a candidate for Rotschreck, or is he merely "warning" the opposing vampire that his blood is nasty and that if he does damage to hit him, its the opposing vampire's own fault that aggravated damage is dealt and not the vampire playing BOA. Follow me?

Always good to check the Rulemonger's page... Rotschreck - Master Out-Of-Turn Cannot be played in response to aggravated damage done from "environmental" sources. :C02: [RTR 961113] sweet sweet http://www.deckserver.net/cgi-deckserver/rulemonger.cgi [snip the rest] Xian "they look at you funny when you attack things like a hungry mountain lion on crack" --greensea -----------== Posted via Deja News, The Discussion Network ==---------- http://www.dejanews.com/ Search, Read, Discuss, or Start Your Own

The damage from Blood of Acid is not from a strike and Blood of Acid doesn't say that the vampire is inflicting the damage, so that damage does not allow Rotschreck. > -- L.
