Seeds of Corruption clarifications

Sorry about the confusion guys.

Based on the ruling:

"Special ability" includes all text except terms (i.e., it doesn't include Clan, Sect, Title, Unique (or not), Blood Cursed, Circle, Flight, Infernal, Scarce, Slave, Sterile, Vulnerability, Anarch, Black Hand, Seraph, Red List). (note that this only restricts things that are possible only by special ability - things that a special ability makes impossible are still impossible.) [LSJ 19970801] [LSJ 20011211] [LSJ 20040120] [RTR 20040501]

1 - Will a vampire with +1 stregth, +1 Bleed or +1 Intercept lose his ability if he/she has a Seeds of Corruption on him/her?

2 - Does Mimir master special , Count Germaine restriction for weapons and such examples be still active even under Seeds of Corruption effect?

Thank you.

Yes. Pascal gives strength as an example in [FZD 20110428]

What is important to remember, however, is that Seeds don't affect the limitations that might exist for a given cardtext. Example: Beast, with Seeds of Corruption, loses his rush ability, his +1 strength, but still can't play action cards or have equipment or retainers.
Blood hunt referenda still can't be called on a Muazziz with Seeds of Corruption

Things that were impossible stay impossible, even if the impossible part is for someone else.

It is the RT's intent, if not the original designer(s)'(s) intent.

So the precedent set is that much like some vampires can't block Aisling:

- minions opposing the Count can't use weapons
- Mimir can't be the target of (other people's) master cards.
