Allies and vampire disciplines (Specifically the Nocturn)
with them. Using Weighted walking Stick and/or Target Vitals is a funny Surprise.I suppose if some crazy scenario popped up where Unmasking was in play and 1 single Nocturn had to stop 2 bleeds to keep you alive you could block, Arms of the Abyss, then On the Qui Vive to block again. But most of the time it's a waste of a dodge, unless you really need to cycle cards.
For combat, it dies, so not much
would matter. If you play a blood coating modifier, it dies, so the action fizzles. Please Log in or Create an account to join the conversation.
See www.vekn.net/rulebook#1.6.3.minioncardsHi all
A rules question (or clarification really, pretty sure I have this right)
When an Ally has the ability to play a discipline card, if it costs blood, will it cost them life?
Some allies have the ability to play certain cards "as a vampire." In these cases, the ally is treated as a vampire for all effects generated by the play of the card, including duration effects (like "for the remainder of combat"). The ally's life represents his blood (to pay costs, for example). Any blood he gains or loses as a vampire equates to a gain or loss of life for the ally. For purposes of that card, the ally has a capacity of 1 by default (for use if the card requires an older vampire or a vampire of a given capacity). If the ally gains life in excess of his capacity, it doesn't drain off, and if the effect inflicts aggravated damage on the ally, he burns life as normal. However, if the effect would send the ally to torpor, then he is burned instead. The ally is treated as a vampire only for the effect generated from playing the card. In particular, the ally is not treated as a vampire for effects the card has from being in play (like "the vampire with this card" effects).
Not if it burns its last life during the action, to pay an action modifier for instance.If a card costs 1 blood, does the Nocturn pay in life - and if that's the case (ie, burn one life for +1 stealth during a bleed), will the action be successful before it dies?
The Nocturn plays the card to declare the strike, pays its costs, and burns because it has no life. Combat ends here.Similarly, if it burns 1 blood for, say, Shadow Strike, when will it die? Will it get to strike if it uses it at the strike stage - or if it uses it earlier for the maneuver will it still be alive to strike? I'm assuming it dies immediately so it would all be futile
