file Damage resolution and going through steps (and phases)

27 Jan 2026 22:11 - 28 Jan 2026 23:36 #116286 by the1andonlime
Scenario:
- Vampire A enters combat with Vampire B
- Vampire A plays Weather Control
- Vampire A chooses to resolve Weather Control's effect
- Damage resolution sub-step opens within the before range step
- Vampire B plays Alpha Glint

Can Vampire A now play Call the Wild Hunt?
More generically, does playing Alpha Glint, while there is still damage to be handled,
  1. move the game state to the "end of round" step before damage is handled, or
  2. create a pending effect that moves the game state to the "end of round" step after all damage has been handled?

Weather Control

Alpha Glint

Call the Wild Hunt

rullings for Weather Control:
Rulings
The damage is environmental. [RTR 19970630] 
The damage is applied even if the combat ends prematurely (eg. by Mariel, Lady Thunder , Alpha Glint ). [LSJ 19971110] [ANK 20190725] 
Both minions have the opportunity to play prevention and non-prevention pre-range effects before mending the damage. If another pre-range damaging effect is played then, all damages are prevented and mended together. [ANK 20170930] 

this respond the question 1
for question 2, no, combat ended

Unfortunately, there is only 1 question and that's not the question

My two cents, under the current existing rulings the combat end doesn´t immediately move the game state to End of Round as there is a delayed effect that inflicts damage and thereby opening up a damage prevention window which has to be handled first "during which you can play plenty of effects" ....ie option nr 2ish (ish because the delayed effect having to be handled doesnt really make the combat end a delayed effect, but we are probably splitting hairs here), Call of the Wild could be played as the damage prevention window is opened as a sub-window in the before range window.

That's my opinion too but there's nothing concrete out there either way
Hoping to get Ankha's interpretation either way

No, because the combat has moved to the "end of round/end of combat" step.

The damage resolution window is still opened though.
