Combat as a strategy

Also, Potence does not have a single rush action... why???

Indeed so!

Rampage doesn't have a superior effect. rushing would be just appropriate for it.

So the cards that currently give combat decks ousting potential (excluding heavy bleed disciplines) are as follows:

Fame, Tension In The Ranks, Dragonbound, and Codex of the Edenic Groundskeeper. Am I forgetting any?

A while back I submitted a card called Collateral Damage. I do not remember the effect I gave it, but perhaps something like: "Each time a new round of combat begins, the opposing minion's controller burns 1 pool. Only 1 Collateral Damage can be played each combat."

Trying to make pressing and "long chain" combat more interesting. Works as both defense and offense. Flavor is that two vamps fighting all night spills over into the city, destroying property, causing civilian casualties as a byproduct, and generally breaking the masquerade.

making the second round of combat on par (or maybe even better than) additional strikes would probably make combat as a whole better. It's always bothered me that in the background, guns only did bashing damage to vampires whereas something like a sword did lethal damage made Melee weapons the de facto preference for discerning kindred.

How does being able to squeeze the trigger faster make that automatic firearm shoot more bullets? Where did that tiger keep those thirteen silver pieces? I have so many questions.

Andre LeRoux, Hell-for-Leather, Blessing of the Loa, Righteous Aura. They are not usable in many decks though.
