anarch 3fer card idea

Feral Shriek


1:blood:

Requires an anarch.

Only useable when a minion attempts to block this vampire. Not useable on an older vampire unless this acting vampire is a Baron. The block fails.

+1 bleed, or +1 bleed and +1 stealth. You may not play another action modifier to increase this bleed unless this vampire is a Baron.

Only useable when a vampire votes against a referendum. That vampire is now voting in favor of the referendum instead. Not useable on an older vampire unless this acting vampire is a Baron.

Anarchs have so many bad cards, why not make really good ones at the risk of being slightly stronger than what some might like? Take off the blood cost, go nuts!

My only beef is with the bloodline discipline. I really don't know about Anarch Cards using disciplines like . They are rarely the disciplines splashed out on most vampires.

Generally it seems to be more useful to have main-line disciplines for those cards. And more "Keystone Kine" like cards, just with more overlap or useful effects.

I don't think effort should be directed to anarch while Sabbat and Laibon lack interesting card.

That being said, I think, like Juggernaut, that the melpominee level is a bad idea, because it's a bloodline discipline which is printed only on daughter.

I also object to the block fail on animalism. A free block fail with anarch requirement would not cause me trouble in obfuscate, in domination, in necromancy, hack maybe even in obtenetration, protean, or another discipline with a fair amount of stealth.

But if there is something animalism don't do, it's making your action successful. It should stay that way since animalism already is pretty powerful.

I agree - it just looks weird. An easy remedy would be to replace melpominee with presence, thus making it still playable by daughters, but also by other vampires, too.

That being said, I agree with Ohlmann, ANI-based block fail is something that should not exist.

I strongly believe that Anarch cards are more interesting if they do something a bit different from what that discipline usually does. Like giving intercept or punishing titled vampires.

Which is why I would change the effect into effect instead.
