One last question: can I use Legacy of Power at any point during combat, or only at the beginning before playing combat cards?


"Only usable when another vampire you control enters combat."


Or, more classically said: Card text ;)

Finnish :POT: Politics!

Can I use a Wake card to use Legacy of Power?


interesting is games of words here.
so because is text : Lock this reacting vampire and end combat.-you can use wake.
if is text: Lock this reacting vampire to end combat.-you must be unlocked to use it

One last question: can I use Legacy of Power at any point during combat,

No, it's not a combat card as pointed out earlier.

or only at the beginning before playing combat cards?

This, when the vampire is about to enter combat (but before combat).


Is this to be understood as reversal of this

Can a superior Psyche! (or something similar) be played in a combat that is ended by Legacy of Power?
:tore:


Yes.

> #3. Does a Psyche! played in response to a Legacy of Power prevent both
> vampires from going to torpor?
Yes. It should probably not (LoP "should" just send the two to torpor and let
that event end the combat), but as it written, yeah. Not a problem, though,
so I don't foresee any errata for this one any time soon.

as if we never enter combat, psyche should not be usable?

What about enter combat trigger effects like Blithe Acceptance, Blood Turnip, Daliah and Michael Luther etc, are they mandatory triggers before Legacy of Power can be played (to either handle to ignore depending on can/may word)?

Or can I now start using Psyche against outside combat ends like Obedience and so forth? (I know the answer will be no.) What you might have been thinking is Promise of 1528 with it's "about to enter" wording. Unless we're to understand "about to enter" and "enters" as equal. Am I in the room when I'm about to enter it or when I enter it?
