Rulebook: Potentially misleading and oddly placed passages
This sems to be in the wrong place, should that not be inside the box below, or in it'S own box after both contest cases?ADVANCED RULESSome cards have a burn option icon.This icon means that a Methuselah who does not control a minion that meets the requirements of this card may discard it during ANY Methuselah’s unlock phase and replace it.Each Methuselah is limited to one such discard each unlock phase.For each card and title you are contesting, you must choose to yield or to pay to contest it.
This can be read as that two cardinals, primogen etc would contest. There needs to be a "unique" here.Contested Titles
[...]
If more than one vampire in play claims the same title, then the title is contested.
Should be "If a single minion can't perform a mandatory action or has two [...]If a single minion has two or more different mandatory actions, then they are “stuck” and cannot perform any action (this does not prevent your other minions from performing actions, however).
Aka the "change of target on a mandatory hunt" rule.
Stealth and intercept can be below 0 due to cards and effects, this also resets to the default value.2. Resolve Any Block Attempts
Stealth and Intercept
[...]
Note that all modifications made to a minion’s stealth or intercept remain in effect for the duration of the action. Increased stealth and intercept return to normal after the action is resolved.
Should be Ally.Combat
5. Damage Resolution
[...]
ADVANCED RULESAllies and retainers treat aggravated damage the same as normal damage. For each point of damage successfully inflicted on a minion or retainer, they burn 1 life counter. A minion or retainer who loses all of their life counters is burned.

During a bleed action, a minion cannot play more than one action modifier card to increase the bleed amount. This rule is reminded on those cards by the “(limited)” card text.
Contradicts the glosssary:
Limited: Some cumulative effects are forbidden by the rules. For instance, no more than one action modifier card can be played to increase a bleed during a bleed action. Similarly, a minion cannot use more than one card or effect (a source) to gain additional strikes per round of combat. Those rules are reminded on those cards by the “(limited)” card text. (See Bleed and Additional Strikes).
This first phrasing implies, that a minion who took over the action with "mask of a thousand faces" can play additional limited bleed modifiers, or that several minions can play "empowering the puppet king" into the same action, wich is both not possible according to my knowlege, and with the wording in the glossary.

Agree with the above.
My contribution for possible re-wordings:
For the bleed section:
During a bleed action, an action modifier card that would increase the bleed amount cannot be played if one is already doing so.

Limited: Some cumulative effects are forbidden by the rules.

"During a bleed action, a minion cannot play more than one action modifier card to increase the bleed amount. This rule is reminded on those cards by the “(limited)” card text."
Is that this text implies limited +bleed modifier is a minion-specific thing. If this was correct, the second minion who used mask of thousand faces should be able to play the same action modifier increasing the bleed, for the same reason they can play second lost in crowds. Its not the same minion.
I assume this is an oversight, and the text should actually refer to the action (still the same action in Mask case) instead of the minion.
