Allies and age

What a productive day I'm having at work today :) But here's another question: If some effect deals with comparision of age between two minions, and an Ally gets involved, how do you determine the age of Allies? Are they all the same age as each other, and all "younger" than Vampires? Or is their Age equal to their Life? And if so, is it their current life total (in case their life had been increased) or is it their starting capacity?

Age, in V:TES, refers only to a measure of capacity, and thus applies only to vampires. -- LSJ (vte...@white-wolf.com) V:TES Net.Rep for White Wolf, Inc.

But what if it somehow came up? I can't think of a particular example, but I would think there might be a case where you're targeting an ally with a card normally associated with vampires, (with those allies-with- equivalent-disciplines and whatnot)... er.. my last parenthetical phrase just answered my question. Those always say "treat as a vampire with capacity X". which would be age, in those rare circumstances, yes?

An effect based on age would have to be ignored, because it couldnt affect the ally (not being a younger/older whatever). A requirement to go on age similarly couldnt work. > my last parenthetical phrase just answered my question. > Those always say "treat as a vampire with capacity X". > which would be age, in those rare circumstances, yes? No. They are only treated as vampires with capacity X for playing cards requiring those disciplines, as per card text. -- James Coupe | PGP Key 0x5D623D5D "Definitely a woman" - www.thespark.com/ Standard disclaimers apply to this post.
