yet another Anestethic touch topic

Name: Anesthetic Touch
[BL:C1, LoB:C]
Cardtype: Combat
Discipline: Obeah/Auspex
Only usable at close range.
[aus] Strike: dodge.
[obe] Strike: hand strike. Combat ends immediately after the resolution of this strike.
[OBE] As [obe] above, with first strike.

Name: Relentless Reaper
[LK:4]
Cardtype: Combat
Discipline: Thanatosis/Fortitude
[for] Prevent 1 damage.
[thn] Press.
[THN] Only usable if both combatants are still ready and combat would end. Instead, burn 1 blood to start a new round.


I can't figure how this two cards at [OBE] and [THN] interacts each other...

There is no special interaction. Ending the combat always opens the end of round window. Relentless Reaper is played in that window (same as Psyche), and by that time it does not matter how the window was reached.

So the minion opposing the anesthetic touch can :
- declare a strike (which doesn't resolve for the combat ends,
- still can prevent the hand strike,
- then they can play relentless to start a new round right?

Whether the opponent's strike resolves or not follows standard First Strike rules.

- still can prevent the hand strike,

Yes. Combat ends after strike resolution, which includes handling the damage.

- then they can play relentless to start a new round right?

Right.

Note that with , a single vampire can play both, and keep punching without getting punched back if the opponent doe snot have First Strike.
