A good example of that is something that was going around the NG a while back: Bleed with a vamp using Daring the Dawn (inf) that will end up at 0 blood by the end of the action so that vamp will get burned by the agg damage inflicted by Daring the Dawn. You then Possess that vamp back to the active region and if successful, that vamp can bleed again. This doesn't violate the NRA rule because the vamp forgets everything that went before it was burned. Lather, rinse, repeat and it can get kind of brutal if the prey isn't prepared for it... Hmmm, AUS, NEC, dom, for, Precognizant Mobility, Possession, dom bleed, Daring the Dawn and a bunch of AUS weenies....

Actually, you can also bleed with force of will so that you can peform yet another useful action before you burn them (and it costs a blood for force of will giving you more flexibility on who bleeds not to mention the +bleed). Then you could use either Daring the Dawn or Day Op since force of will is providing the agg damage.

Correct. (He forgot everything about his previous instance the moment he hit the ash heap). -- LSJ (vte...@wizards.com) V:TES Net.Rep for Wizards of the Coast.
