; A unique vampire doesn't contest a non-unique vampire. Non-unique vampires
; never contest. If you get a Seeds on a second one (so that you now have
two
; unique vampires), burn the second one (the one most recently made unique).
Argh !!
please LSJ do something ! So Fidai and Aabt kindred with a Seed of
corruption become unique ?? don't you find this pathetic ? Why not decide
that the sentence "this vamp is not unique and cannot be contested" is, like
(blood cursed) or (independant) unaffected by seeds of corruption ? it would
be much easier
to catch...
By the way, being not unique is not an ability, it's a restriction ! In the
world of darkness where everyone struggle to be the toughest vampire on
earth when the antediluvians will come, how can you be happy when you
haven't got a name ? ;)
And if they are all the same fidai, how can you put fame on one of them ?
you can't even recognize who is who ? and what about the contract you put on
someone, and "name an assamite" with no name... Do all the fidai go for the
bruise ? ;)
I've always thought that seeds of corruption is a strange cards, but it's
time to make it clear and simple. pleaaaaaaase Mr rulemonger!
Hmm. Text says "are not unique" and "do not contest", so it certainly seems
like a restriction (prohibiting them from following the normal rules for
contesting). Good call.
REVERSAL: Seeds won't make a non-unique vampire unique.

yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeha !
Perhaps in future releases card text should specify exactly what is a
special ability and what is a restriction?
I doubt it. Seeds has a great deal of card text already. It would not be possible
to describe the nature of a "restriction" on the card text.

I think he was refering to the Vampire's text.
Having a reminder text for each ability specifying wether it is a special
ability or a restriction would certainly help in regards to Seeds of
Corruption, but unless more cards affect special abilities/restrictions, it
would probably be too much trouble.

Sorry LSJ, as Flux pointed out i was referring to the vampire's text. you
know something like:
Alexandra
Inner Circle: (4 votes)
Special Ability: Once during your turn...
Or better yet, different colored text.
All that would need to be noted is restrictions. Anything else would be
a special ability.
