another Inscription question
Joshua Duffin
Inscription, can he put it on a vampire other than himself? If so,
presumably the Magic of the Smith remains undirected?
Josh
or he can't put it on someone else, and then Magicing for Inscription is
not so useful...

Magic of the Smith
+1 stealth action. [tha] Go through your library, find a piece of equipment,
and equip the acting vampire. (Pay cost to equip.) Reshuffle afterwards.
[THA] As above, but as a +3 stealth action.
"Equip the acting vampire"
So if you got the Leather Jacket, you would untap at the end of the turn.
yadda yadda..
Inscription
Equipment. [tha] Put this equipment on a ready vampire and put a card that
requires Thaumaturgy from your hand on it (this acting vampire pays the cost
of that card). The vampire with this equipment can burn this equipment to
use the basic Thaumaturgy ability of that card. [THA] As above, but the
vampire can use the superior Thaumaturgy ability of the card.
If you have this equipment, you can't take the action to "put it on a ready
vampire".
My Answer:
Rev BW performs MoS, chooses Inscription. He has Superior THA so the
superior text applies. Then he may put it on another ready minion as normal
equipping of Inscription.
I think this card should be like Palatial Estate, it does not count as
equipment until in play....
I thought I knew, now I know I do not as much as I thought...
Good Luck,
David

No. "Equip this acting vampire with it."

Presumably, but moot.

My question about this card - what use is it? I can see it cycles a little, but
since you already have tha, wouldn't you just be able to play the card anyway?
I don't know, seems pretty pants to me.

I expect one use that will pop up a number of times is 'some of my
crypt has THA and the rest no tha/THA, so I'll add 4 inscriptions and
4 rutor's hands to rutor my whole ready region once the first THA
minion hits the table...', especially since they can offer a Rutor's
cross-table as a bribe.

That's exactly what i was thinking of as i first read this card. But i
have another question:
Does the 2nd vampire also have to pay for the Rutor's Hand or are its
costs considered to be already paid by the first one who played the
inscription?
Would anyone please enlighten me?
Thanks

The 1 blood point cost is paid by the inscriber, as per the card text.
The three blood to prevent the point of agg damage that is an option at
THA is not a cost to play the card, per se, and so would be paid (or
not) by the target vampire.

Of course, cross-table you might not choose to give the other vampire
the option of the superior version. :P
