I've got a Parity Shift and a Golconda in hand, and six pool, my prey has got five pool. I decide to play Golconda on the Sheldon I control, and immediately pay 2 pool to save Sheldon, in order to have less pool than my prey and therafter play Parity Shift on my prey with Sheldon. My prey wants to sudden the Golconda. At what time can she play Sudden, before or after I decided to pay two pool ? Miller Delmardigan http://sabbatinfrance.free.fr/en

[ quoted text not captured ] Before, as Sudden Reversal must be played to cancel the card, and it has no effect. When you are deciding to pay the pool, then the card is resolving and the opportunity to play Sudden is lost. -- Andy "Slytherin" Brown VEKN Setite Ruler of Cambridge SET awakens, watch out all non-believers

Note that you can't "immediately pay 2 pool to save Sheldon" - you have to wait until your prey (and the other Methuselahs) decide not to Sudden the Golconda. -- LSJ (vte...@white-wolf.com) V:TES Net.Rep for White Wolf, Inc.
