lightbulb Rulebook: Potentially misleading and oddly placed passages

23 Feb 2024 14:15 #110772 by Ankha

Hi, got a question.
Oskar Anasov:
During an action, Oskar can burn 1 blood to give a vampire you control +1 intercept.
vs
Maris Streck
Maris can burn a blood to give a blocking minion +1 intercept.

Oskar is limited to doing it once per action?
While Marisa is not limited?

Is there a ruling on this distinction that I can use?


www.vekn.net/rulebook#wording-templates

“During X, do Y”: The “during X do Y” template is used in several cards. When this template is used, only one Y can be done per X with this card. For instance, you may move blood from your vampire to your pool with Vessel only once per unlock phase.

Hi,

I believe this is covered by the below general ruling

I'm probably wrong, but I would say that the reason for this question may be that nowhere in the Rulebook is explicitly explained how to use special abilities or abilities on cards in the game. At least I couldn't find a specific sentence. Please direct me if I've overlooked. I just found parts that partially indicate it, as if it goes without saying.

Like:

Wording templates

“During X, do Y”: The “during X do Y” template is used in several cards. When this template is used, only one Y can be done per X with this card. For instance, you may move blood from your vampire to your pool with Vessel only once per unlock phase.

“Lock X to do Y”: These effects require an unlocked minion to be used, they cannot be used by locked minions.

Master Cards

Locations: A location card represents a place (that is a building, a city, or a designated gathering place) that a Methuselah or their minions control. A location card stays in play and may be used repeatedly, even on the turn it is played. Some game effects can burn them.



I guess something like this might help:

CRYPT CARDS

Text box:
The area containing a vampire’s sect (Camarilla in this case), title, special abilities or other attributes. Special abilities are active from the moment a minion is moved from the uncontrolled region to the ready region. Special abilities may be used repeatedly, or under certain conditions (“During X, do Y”; “Lock X to do Y”), or as an action.
