Diablerie action

Does an action that results in combat wherein the opposing vampire is diablerized via Amaranth count as a Diablerie Action?

Rebirth

[Action Modifier] Action Modifier


Requires a Red List minion. Only usable when a diablerie action is successful.
No blood hunt may be called, and this vampire untaps. A vampire can play only one Rebirth each turn.

Not unless it was a diablerie action in the begining. Playing Amaranth doesn't make it so - a blocked bleed action would remain a bleed action.

Rebirth also isn't usable on Amaranth at all: Rebirth is an action modifier, which can't be played in combat, whereas Amaranth's diablerie occurs as part of the combat.

made me thinking.

If i have a red list minion, and one of my other minions is performing a diablerie action, can my other(the red list) minion plays rebirth in favor of the diablerist? (like when he helps the other vampire with cloak the gathering, philip, etc) (the redlist guy also untaps)

"Only usable when a diablerie action is successful". Can i even help a vampire controlled by other metuselah?

Nope, because the red list minion is not the acting minion. Cloaks, etc. have explicit staements, that they are useable "by a <...> vampire other than the acting minion", whereas Rebirth does not have this.

No, unless the action that was blocked was a diablerie action. But even in that case, you can't play Rebirth because it was then an unsuccessful diablerie action (it was blocked).

Just to be sure, can I use a hand strike, Form of mist to continue action, disarm + amaranth to diablerize the blocker ?

If I do that, I still cannot use Rebirth because the action is neither successful nor unsuccesful yet, right ?
