Clan/Sect requirements and changing allegiance

Good day fellow cold corpses.

Cards requiring a certain discipline/clan/sect must be played by a minion/vampire which have/fulfill these; but can these cards be stolen or acquired by minions not fulfilling the same?

For example a clan specific weapon on a vampire which is diablerized by another. Or a laibon retainer already on a vampire which changes sects.

Any special circumstance where this would be feasible (or not)?

Thanks for your help!

Hello!

Some clan specific cards have the requirement only in the initial equip action/occasion. They are free to be used by others however. For example, Blade of Bellona can be used by anyone but has to be equipped initially by a .

In general terms, yes - requirements are only important for playing the card. A Raven Spy requires Animalism, but once it's in play, you could move it to another vampire without any Animalism using Heidelberg Castle.

You might have a card, however, like Sword of Judgment which also includes the text: "Only usable by Brujah antitribu." And while a minion who is not a Brujah antitribu could have it, they couldn't use it.
