The aggravated damage won't burn him, since he is basically heathly (i.e., Ready and has not previously taken damage that he has not healed). Having no blood doesn't alter the fact that aggravated damage won't burn a healthy vampire. > I hope the extra cards is arent myths, cause we sure need them...

i was sure that any aggravated damage caused to a vamp which couldn't be healed by burning blood burns the vampire. that's a major factor of aggravated damage.

You may not be aware of the change to aggravated damage which was made in the 7/7 rulings. This was made to compensate for the fact that when aggravated damage was first implemented, it was physically *impossible* for an Ivory Bow or a single point of hand damage with a claw to burn a vampire under any circumstances (due to the packetting rules in Jyhad). -- James Coupe (Prince of Mercia, England) Vampire: Elder Kindred Network http://madnessnetwork.hexagon.net
